The internet community is no stranger to MrBeast pulling off wild challenges. But what happens when the YouTube King challenges a co-creator on the platform? Well, in an interesting story, a popular content creator on YouTube narrated the story of how he was able to get his hands on the diamond play button of Jimmy with his autograph, possibly the most unique merchandise for a MrBeast fan! Just like an iconic Jimmy challenge video, the story involves some classic twists and turns. So, let’s revisit the story from the beginning.

Remember the days of Jimmy’s merchandise giveaways? While the scale of his giveaways has only increased with the evolution of MrBeast as a brand, the OG days of his giveaways always kept his fans on edge. One such interesting challenge included a diamond play button giveaway that made all his subscribers eligible for participation. However, the winner was to be narrowed down to one. Apparently, the winner was chosen, but an infamous ‘play button collector’ from YouTube had other plans.

Among the 113 million subscribers (back in December 2022), a user named DoreOnTour won the giveaway and received the prize. The twist was that, with an autograph, MrBeast had left a special message for Jack. “I bet Jack to buy this, lol,” the message read. Well, the challenge was accepted by the YouTuber, and how?

Breaking down the final ‘deal’.

Immediately after the winner of the giveaway received the play button, Jack approached him with an interest in buying the gift. The latter rejected the deal as both couldn’t agree to a common price.

In fact, Dore posted a message for Jack stating, “You’re not buying this Jack, it’s mine”. The twist, however, arrived when Dore, in a matter of months, approached Jack to reconsider the ‘deal’. After some hassle, both agreed to a common price, and the trade was done.
