During his July 3 upload, the YouTuber revealed he had bought fireworks ranging from $1 all the way to an eye-popping $160k. In total, he spent over $600,000 and promised viewers “every single firework will be launched!”

While the group started off small, things really kicked off when they launched a $10k mortar. “This next firework is the most epic thing you have ever seen! This mortar weighs 160 pounds. We even had to get FAA clearance to light this. There can’t be planes in the sky,” he revealed.

“This looks like a nuke!” they screamed, as the massive explosion lit up the sky. Mr Beast also got creative, strapping 100 rockets to a dummy, and setting a car on fire. Sitting behind a bulletproof glass window, they even set off a firework by nuking it with a microwave.

The 22-year old then prepared to launch a $40k firework display, explaining, “I could have bought a car, I could have put a down payment on a house. Or I could have bought 10 thousand copies of Shrek.” He then revealed the pyrotechnics contained over 9,000 shells.

Using a turn key safety console, the YouTube star launched the explosion, painting the entire night sky white with a flash. The massive display stunned everyone. “I’m terrified! I thought I was gonna die!” Mr Beast exclaimed. One of his friends yelled “How are we not in jail?”

For the grand finale, the popular personality brought out the $160k firework. “We are about the launch the largest firework that man’s history has ever seen. Literally a world record. Four thousand pounds, 15 feet deep holes, we literally needed a forklift!” he said before setting it off. The explosion was so loud, it rocked the entire area.
