MrBeast shuts down Disneyland for Rs 4.1 cr date night with fiancèe after claiming he is borrowing money from mom for wedding
Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, continues to captivate his fans with his YouTube videos. Following his exploration of 2,000-year-old ancient temples in Mexico, which stirred up some controversy, he is now making waves with a romantic getaway he planned for his fiancée, Thea Booysen.
The world's most subscribed YouTuber shut down the entire Disneyland for Rs $500K (Rs 4.1 crore) date night with Booysen. 'Disney won't just hand over their keys to anyone, but for this once-in-a-lifetime date, we were given the entire park for one night,' MrBeast said in the video. The lavish date night comes days after he claimed that he was short on funds and had to borrow money from his mother for his wedding. He had said that he has pumped in all his money into the channel and has little personal wealth.
He began the date by taking Booysen on a $1 (Rs 85) Ferris wheel ride at a small, carnival-style amusement park. Things escalate quickly, as their next stop was an extravagant $10,000 (Rs 835,000) multi-course gourmet dinner collated by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.
The adventure continued with a lavish $50,000 (Rs 4,257,000) private island getaway. Joined by several members of the MrBeast team, the couple enjoyed jet skiing, relaxing couples' massages, and more premium experiences.
For their first theme park date, the group headed to the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This enormous entertainment complex featured Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park, DreamWorks Water Park, and the Big Snow indoor ski slope. The $250,000 (Rs 21,407,500) experience is centered around Nolan, a member of MrBeast's crew, and included a surprise appearance by Madison Beer. Highlights included a luxury car ride, attending a Major League Baseball game, and an exclusive fine-dining dinner.
Later, MrBeast and a small group of friends had the ultimate Star Wars experience with a visit to an empty Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, where they ride Rise of the Resistance without waiting in line. They also stopped at Savi's Workshop to build their custom lightsabers, 'an experience which typically costs $219.99 (Rs 18,879) per person, plus tax.'
The group then moved over to Disney California Adventure for a spin on Pixar Pal-A-Round, where the couple reflected on how 'much more magical and special this $500,000 (Rs 42,812,500) experience is compared to the $1 (Rs 85) Ferris wheel ride.'
Their time at the park wrapped up with a private showing of World of Colour Happiness, the nighttime spectacular now featuring a new Muppets pre-show to celebrate Disneyland's 70th anniversary. Finally, the evening ended with a lavish dinner in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle and a special viewing of the Paint the Night Parade, brought back for the anniversary celebration. 'This was everyone's favorite date,' MrBeast said.
MrBeast and Thea Booysen, a well-known gamer from South Africa, made their mark in the digital world long before they met. Their love story started in 2022 when Jimmy travelled to South Africa and was introduced to Booysen by a mutual friend at a dinner gathering. Earlier this year, MrBeast proposed to Thea, and she said yes.

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent Makes Comeback On YouTube After Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy
Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube months after controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia. Fans hail it as the 'best comeback ever.' Four months after being embroiled in a major controversy, India's Got Latent — the YouTube talent show hosted by comedian Samay Raina — has quietly made a return, albeit on a different channel. The show was pulled down earlier this year after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread backlash for making an inappropriate comment to a contestant involving their parents. The controversial remark led to public outrage and legal repercussions, with multiple FIRs filed against Ranveer, Samay, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. Following the incident, Samay Raina took down all episodes from his official channel and issued a public statement expressing his distress. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India's Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time," he wrote. He also confirmed his full cooperation with authorities investigating the matter. Now, months later, the show's segments have reappeared online — not on the original channel but on a newly active page titled India's Got Latent Clips. The revived clips include content from public and members-only episodes, with over 500 videos currently available for viewing. Fans of the show have welcomed its digital return with open arms. Comments like '2025 is the year of comeback," 'Best comeback everrr," and 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka" have flooded the clips, suggesting that the core audience has remained loyal despite the controversy. Meanwhile, Samay Raina is currently touring internationally, performing across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. His tour, which began on June 5, will conclude in Sydney on July 20. Whether this quiet return marks a full revival for the show or merely serves as a nostalgic archive remains to be seen — but for now, India's Got Latent seems to be back in the algorithm.

Kapil Sharma teases Navjot Singh Sidhu for his high fees, hints the 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' budget has been increased
Agencies How much does Navjot Singh Sidhu earning from TGIKS? Kapil Sharma has made a much-awaited return with a fresh season of The Great Indian Kapil Show, launching on Netflix. The debut episode featured none other than Bollywood icon Salman Khan, whose presence added star power to an already lively setting. As expected, Kapil's signature wit lit up the stage as he playfully engaged with his co-stars and guests, especially taking a humorous swipe at Archana Puran Singh's online content. One of the most talked-about highlights of the episode was the return of Navjot Singh Sidhu, who rejoined the show after a long gap. The show began with Kapil's trademark comic timing, and he didn't waste any time poking fun at Sidhu's return. In his typical playful style, he mentioned how fortunate they were to have a budget that could 'afford' Sidhu, alluding to the increased production values on the platform. 'I want to thank Netflix for giving us that much budget that we could afford Sidhu paaji," he quipped. Kapil warmly welcomed Sidhu back to his iconic chair, hinting at the political undercurrents behind his reappearance by joking that it was a coalition of sorts that made this comeback possible. The camaraderie between the two Amritsari entertainers was on full display as Sidhu responded in his poetic fashion, emphasizing the unbreakable bond they share, subtly taking a dig at Archana Puran Singh, who had taken over his seat during his explained the reason behind the six-month delay in launching the new season, attributing it jokingly to the long process of convincing Sidhu. He later clarified that his own film commitments had also played a role in the postponement. While the spotlight was on Kapil's upcoming films, Archana Puran Singh shared that she, too, had been busy—managing her vlogs. This led Kapil to make another playful jab, claiming that her vlogs were just a clever excuse to let her family dine out for free. In a classic Kapil punchline, he quipped that her food videos were more fraud than vlog, triggering laughs from the audience. He went further, teasing that when restaurants don't recognize her celebrity status, Archana tries to get discounts by name-dropping her husband, actor Parmeet Sethi, known for his role in Dilwale Dulhania Le to a report by , Navjot Singh Sidhu, who was last seen as a regular fixture on The Kapil Sharma Show between 2018 and 2020, had earlier earned a hefty sum of Rs 25 crore for a total of 125 episodes. This translated to an average payout of approximately Rs 20 lakh per episode during that period. However, with his recent return to the show on a digital platform, industry sources suggest that his remuneration has seen a significant upswing. Since the new season on Netflix airs only one episode per week, Sidhu is reportedly commanding a far higher fee than before. Current estimates place his per-episode salary in the range of Rs 30 to Rs 40 lakh, signaling a dramatic increase from his previous earnings. This surge in his compensation reflects both the exclusivity of the OTT format and Sidhu's continued popularity among audiences.
