In today’s ultra-competitive world of content creation, YouTubers are always hunting for fresh, exciting ideas to stand out. Some even push the limits with challenges no one has tried before. But all of that pales compared to Dude Perfect, the YouTuber who’s got serious cash and isn’t afraid to spend it.
Feeling like content online has become boring and predictable, this YouTuber with over 50 million subscribers recently dropped an incredible video. He spent a jaw-dropping 32 billion VND (about $1.25 million) for a 10-minute trip into space. The entire journey, from training to launch and the space experience itself, was captured for his fans.
Along with five strangers from around the world, Dude Perfect went through zero-gravity training before taking off on this one-of-a-kind journey. Since it was an unmanned space tourism flight, the trip lasted just 10 minutes on a fixed orbit. The spacecraft took passengers to the Karman Line, the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space, giving them a stunning view of Earth and about 3 to 4 minutes of true weightlessness.
The $1.25 million price tag per person is huge for most people. But Dude Perfect’s gamble paid off big time. His real-life space trip video has racked up over 19.7 million views and 940,000 likes so far.
