Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has once again caught the world’s attention by becoming only the eighth person to climb the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. In a video shared online, MrBeast captured the intense moment, exclaiming, “Made it! I am standing on top of the tallest building in the world. This is terrifying! I shouldn’t have looked down, that’s scary.”
The daring feat sparked a mix of reactions from viewers. One person downplayed the excitement, remarking, “So what? Tom Cruise did it first, and he wasn’t scared!” Another viewer was impressed, saying, “That’s really cool. I would love to see that view from the top.” Meanwhile, a third viewer admitted their own fear, commenting, “No thanks, absolutely terrified of heights. Never know if it’s the fear of falling or something else.”
MrBeast’s impressive achievement comes amid recent controversies that have surrounded him. Allegations of workplace misconduct and brand issues have made headlines recently, with MrBeast addressing these claims and denying reports that his company employs individuals with questionable backgrounds.
Joining the exclusive list of people who have conquered the Burj Khalifa, MrBeast stands alongside other notable figures like Tom Cruise, Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan, skydiver Nicole Smith-Ludvik, actor Will Smith, motocross champion Sam Sunderland, free-climber Alain Robert, and cinematographer Alexis Landot.
