YouTuber MrBeast claims he was invited on doomed Titanic sub

MrBeast, a hugely popular YouTube star who boasts over 160 million subscribers on the video platform, claims he was invited to be on the doomed Titan submersible that imploded en route to the Titanic wreckage — but he declined.

“I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no,” MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, tweeted Sunday.

“Kind of scary that I could have been on it.”

The 25-year-old online sensation, known for his over-the-top stunts and challenges, also shared a cropped image of what appears to be a text message inviting him on the trip.

“Also, I’m going to the Titanic in a submarine late this month. The team would be stoked to have you along,” part of the apparent invitation said.

Additional details, such as who sent the text message, were not included. 

Had he agreed to the underwater expedition, MrBeast would have joined an already eclectic group of adventurers — famed French Navy commander-turned-Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet; billionaire British explorer Hamish Harding; billionaire Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman; and OceanGate Expeditions’ CEO and founder, Stockton Rush.

MrBeast is the most-subscribed-to personality on YouTube, with 162 million subscribers. Last year, Forbes estimated the content creator’s net worth to be some $500 million.

The group descended toward the depths of the Atlantic early June 18, for what was supposed to be the Titan sub’s third-annual expedition to the Titanic wreckage.

However, just an hour and 45 minutes into the daring underwater journey, the submersible lost contact with its mother ship, the Polar Prince.

On Thursday, the US Coast Guard revealed that the Titan suffered a “catastrophic implosion” after discovering multiple debris fields earlier Thursday. All five passengers on board were killed instantly.
