This is yet one more crazy social experiment. MrBeast shackled a couple for 30 days for a big prize of $250,000. The billionaire funny man put up this odd contest on his Instagram and asked if anybody would dare to go through the trauma of clinging to an ex-partner for a solid month for that amount of money. The image showed two partners handcuffed together, with money scattered about, perfectly setting up the premise for what must be another drama-ridden video of high stakes.

MrBeast is also known as Jimmy Donaldson and reached the status of a millionaire by playing by his own set of rules-a series of madcap challenges and giveaways to generous magnitudes. His content has always mixed human psychology with entertainment, and this new idea strikes at the heart of relationship dynamics and what people will do for money. The post went immediately viral, sparking heated debate among most of his followers, with thousands of comments flooding in within a few hours.
The image tells the story loud and clear. The couple is facing opposite situations with expressions departing from sheer curiosity to visible resistance. The right sides of the experiment will be very intense emotions foaming out.

A casually dressed couple is handcuffed together, a man in a suit just a few feet away, presumably part of MrBeast’s crew, is grinning while teasingly holding the chain that links the two. With bills sprawled all over the floor and spilling into a clear container in the background, it pretty much screams cash-oriented motives for this very strange arrangement. The couple’s expressions depart from sheer curiosity to visible resistance, suggesting that intense emotions are going to be set loose in this experiment.
