MrBeast gave his friend over $400k to lose 100 pounds in a video that almost wasn’t released

MrBeast produced a video focusing solely on assisting his friend Majd in shedding sufficient weight to transform his life. Over the span of a year, Majd ended up winning approximately $250,000, but he did so while being secluded from the outside world and confined to a training facility.

In many instances when MrBeast designs challenges that involve staying put for a prolonged duration, the objective often becomes enduring the situation while preserving one’s mental well-being. This held true for numerous Beast Games challenges as well.

For Majd, it wasn’t just about making it through: It was about flourishing. He had unrestricted resources like an abundance of food, workout tools, and a personal coach. However, there was a condition that he needed to shed 100 pounds before he could expand his social circle again.

In about half a year, Majd successfully shed the pounds, raking in over a quarter million dollars as a result. Unfortunately, during the filming of the video, Coach Wall – his primary source of motivation – passed away.

This version maintains the original’s meaning while using more natural and conversational language.

Initially set at $250,000, it eventually grew to $417,650 due to the demanding fitness tasks he undertook in order to boost his income.

Afterward, they completely transformed his appearance, neatening his beard and displaying before-and-after images demonstrating that his hard work over several months had been worth it.

MrBeast proposed giving his friend a sum of $250,000 if they manage to shed 100 pounds within a year. To aid them, he set up a custom gym and provided a personal chef along with an endless supply of nutritious meals.

As a devoted admirer, I can share that the video’s uplifting conclusion – where Majd shed pounds and witnessed the fruits of his labor – nearly didn’t see the light of day.

During the course of the challenge, Coach Tyler Wall, a regular training partner of Majd, unfortunately passed away midway through the filming process. In honor of his family’s feelings, MrBeast considered halting the video production entirely and ensuring it remained unpublished.

As a gamer, I’d say: “Coach Wall was an exceptional person whose warmth and genuine character made a lasting impact on everyone he met. The news of his passing has left us all heartbroken. In light of this unfortunate event, we reached out to Coach Wall’s family to seek their guidance about sharing this video. With grace and wisdom, they shared that Tyler would have wanted his message of optimism and positivity to continue inspiring others, even beyond his presence.

At present, the only detail known is that Coach Tyler Wall was discovered deceased in his residence. The specific reason for his demise remains undisclosed.

Months later, when Majd completed the challenge, he dedicated it to Coach Wall.

I couldn’t have achieved this without Coach Wall by my side. He always said it would be an amazing journey if we made it through together, and today is indeed that day,” he declared as he exited the circle on Day 178, marking his final day in captivity.
