[English]

In this video,

we're going on a $250,000 vacation.

This is beautiful.

How is this real?

And I'm going to show you the difference between

this and a $100,000 presidential vacation.

Right this way, sir.

A $50,000 vacation where we have the Eiffel Tower

completely to ourselves.

I'm holding on for dear life.

All the way down to this $1 vacation.

Right over here, boys. This shack is our vacation.

- You can see inside of it. - There's no walls, Jimmy.

- Well, I mean, there is walls. - This is gross.

And in case you don't believe me, it's a dollar.

- Look at that. - Oh, it's $0.93. You're a liar.

I rounded up to a dollar. For $1

we get this bed, which is honestly just a mattress

sitting on wood planks,

a broken cabinet, a light that sort of works.

Oh, look at that.

And lastly, random noises coming from the ceiling.

I was hearing noises in the room, and there's a raccoon on our roof.

I feel like most people would be mad if their hotel room had a raccoon.

But for some reason, we're happy.

- When is the check out time? - Tomorrow.

Keep in mind that later in this video,

we're going on a $100,000 vacation.

A $250,000 vacation.

Can we just jump to that already?

No, because we got to suffer

so they can compare our suffering to our happiness.

They do like when we suffer.

Are we all supposed to fit on a single bed?

If we wanted four beds, that'd be $4.

First, let's get all this sand out.

The raccoon just ran in here.

I'm gonna act like I didn't scream like a little girl.

Up next,

a vacation that's 10,000 times more expensive.

Welcome to the $10,000 a night vacation.

- Oh, my gosh. - Yo, this is sick!

Wait, what the heck is this?

This hotel room has jellyfish.

- Okay, that's so unnecessary. - Oh, there's a pool outside.

It's a private pool.

Does this not look like a scene from a movie?

Your hotel room walks out to the beach.

- Wow. - Is this our own private beach?

Oh, my gosh.

This is incredible.

Tareq, since when is water this blue?

I don't know.

This all inclusive vacation also has a giant spa.

Oh, yeah.

A park filled with flamingos.

Oh, they're fighting

- Flamingos. - And unlimited room service.

Okay, what do you need?

All of it.

The only negative of this place is it doesn't have a raccoon.

Hey, little guy.

But I don't blame them for that.

When you spend $10,000 at this all inclusive resort,

we each get our own floor of the building.

It looks exactly like Jimmy's, except for I got the top floor.

Oh, I have a hammock.

I think I can make it in the hammock without getting wet.

I didn't.

Yo, look at your view!

- Chris! - Hey.

I caught it.

- 3, 2, 1… - Hey!

All right, let me lay out some rules.

- Rule number one. - Yeah.

No more throwing pillows in my pool.

Rule number two.

Sorry, Tareq. And now what the hotel is known for,

this insane infinity pool

that extends over our own personal beach.

How does the water just not overflow?

I have so many questions.

I feel like a father that took his kids on vacation

and is just watching them hang out in the pool.

The $10,000 vacation has been insane,

but not as insane as our next vacation

all the way across the planet.

And now the $50,000 vacation in Paris.

- Oui! - Baguette!

Our $50,000 vacation

starts with a completely private luxury ferry ride.

What is that? That's the engine?

Bro, what is this, 1805? Tareq, zoom in on that guy.

He is filming us. Hey.

- They waved back. - Do you have a YouTube channel?

I don't think he speaks English.

This vacation comes complete with fantastic food.

A tour of the entire city.

All right.

And a luxury hotel room with an amazing view.

- This is kind of romantic, huh? - Yeah.

You and Chandler should kiss.

And lastly, we have a very expensive surprise.

So you guys are probably wondering,

it's a $50,000 vacation,

and we clearly haven't spent 50 grand yet.

Yeah, where is it?

It's behind you.

That's the Eiffel Tower.

Yes. We have the entire Eiffel Tower completely to ourselves.

Wait, actually?

Yeah.

What portion of the 50 grand was the tower?

Almost all of it.

We are at the Eiffel Tower.

This feels like we're sneaking in.

No, I'm not joking. It's ours. No one else is here.

We can just go straight through the line.

This feels illegal.

Most of the time, this place is packed with people.

And because we have the whole thing completely to ourselves,

we're going to try to get to the top of the tower.

I'm talking the very top.

Boys, enough playing around. Let's head up.

On the way up,

we stopped at the first floor, over 187 feet in the air,

where we had a world class restaurant all to ourselves.

I love though, even though we have the entire Eiffel Tower,

they still put us in a corner of the restaurant.

That's the elevator

coming from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

That looks terrifying. Open sesame.

Thank you. I can see my house from up here.

We're in France.

I can see my hotel from up here.

- Look how high up we are. - Oh, my ears are popping.

What are we working with here?

Oh, my gosh.

You can see the whole city from here.

This is crazy.

Tareq. Look how much higher we have to go.

This is never going to end.

I'm not going to lie, I thought we were already at the top.

We're going up.

Now we're heading to the top. At one point,

this was the tallest building in the world.

- Should I jump right now? - No. Do not move.

Come on, boys, follow me.

From here on out, there's no more elevators, just stairs.

Oh, it's windy up here.

We are high up there. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Tareq, don't drop the camera.

We are standing over 900 feet in the air.

The highest point civilians are allowed on the tower.

But since it's ours for the night, I had one last surprise.

What do you think's behind this door?

Stairs.

Actually, did I...

- How did you know? - We can see the stairs.

Well, yes, there are more stairs,

but this takes us to the very top

where no one's allowed to go.

Oh, my gosh.

Bro.

Oh, my God.

- Are we allowed on that? - I don't know.

Oh, that is scary.

The ledge just comes up to my waist up here.

I am holding on for dear life.

I completely understand why tourists are not allowed up here.

We have a cameraman on the other side of the city

with a lens zoomed in on us.

He's over a mile away.

If this lens is good enough,

you should be able to see us waving for a $50,000 vacation.

You got to admit, this is cool.

This is amazing.

It'a a once in a lifetime experience.

Are you ready for the best moment yet?

I don't know why a YouTuber has this much power, but lights.

Oh, there we go.

Oh, my God.

Like a disco show.

Holy cow!

Guys, I don't know if this next command

is going to work, but turn every light off.

Oh, it's pitch black.

The Eiffel Tower went dark.

What are these millions of French people thinking right now?

They should get me off this tower.

I don't know why they gave me this much control.

Next, we head to Switzerland for the $100,000 vacation.

But this is no ordinary vacation.

This hotel has two inch thick, bulletproof windows,

a panic button that will lock down the entire building

and it's riddled with security because this is a hotel

where world leaders and presidents take their vacation.

And also the sidemen were in town. So I invited them to come.

Oh, my God.

It smells like food in here.

We've got the whole ocean in there.

- What? - This is nuts.

This is the most expensive penthouse suite in all of Europe.

It covers the whole eighth floor, has dozens of rooms,

tons of staff waiting on you day and night

and absolutely crazy food everywhere.

You want a hit? Yeah, get a hit of that.

Oh, yeah.

How do these guys compare to your normal guests?

So you'd say they're pretty dumb compared to…

Like I said before, some of the most powerful world leaders

choose this place for their vacations.

Even Bill Clinton stayed here and he wasn't assassinated.

It's pretty safe.

In terms of security, here you have the bulletproof windows.

Even this is bulletproof.

Oh, my. It feels thick.

Pretty solid.

I hope. I'm a president.

Are you able to negotiate on behalf of the Sideman?

- I can try my best. - Yes.

This will help me in my negotiation.

I'd like to buy a 10%.

- How much, boys? - Go, you say it.

200 million, Jimmy.

200 million.

All right. To the panic button.

- Oh, no. - I'm not going to lie.

I've been wanting to press this button since we got here.

We all agree this is a good idea.

- No. - No.

Karl. You're Bill Clinton, and you feel threatened.

Press the panic button. You pressed it.

Oh, wait.

- I see a door closed. - Are we locked in?

- Is it locked? - Are you guys in there?

Is that Nolan?

Yeah. The door's like shut.

I walked off for one second.

This button opens it.

You don't get to panic and then open it.

If you press the button now,

the police will come.

And there's a big fine.

Don't press it again.

I've been thinking.

How would a president get somewhere like McDonald's?

Let's see how presidents travel. Come on in.

It turns out when you're the president,

you have to go everywhere with your bodyguards.

So that means that when you drive…

Oh, we got an entourage.

How do we know which car to get into?

On the third or the fourth.

Ideally the third or fourth.

- Which car is the most dangerous? - The first one.

Nolan, you should ride the first one.

- I can do that. - Okay.

Who wants to ride with me?

Harry, come on in.

Harry, Chandler.

I'm sure the president doesn’t sit in the middle.

Typically, you guys would be my bodyguards.

But, you know, you'll suffice.

Just squeeze in mate. Squeeze in.

What president is going to McDonald's?

Does your window roll down? Hey, how's it going?

I can't believe we can do this.

This is nice.

Turns out when you travel in a presidential motorcade,

a lot of people start to notice you.

How's it going?

This is bonkers, man.

I love how we just draw the attention of everyone.

People are filming,

like we're the president. This is weird.

Which made McDonald's a little awkward.

What's going on?

Don't mind our security.

Jimmy, does this beat out the Eiffel Tower for you?

Depends how good these nuggets are.

Obviously, all of the vacations

so far have been amazing,

but they pale in comparison to the next one.

Our final vacation is once again across the planet.

And now we're in Japan for the $250,000 vacation

and we're meeting up with a special guest here,

so you're gonna want to watch till the end.

To start off our vacation

we dropped off our bags in the most expensive hotel in all of Japan.

This is gigantic.

I have an echo in a hotel room.

And afterwards,

we felt like getting to know the city of Tokyo.

Now we're going to drive Mario Karts on the street.

We rented private Mario Karts

but we get to literally drive on the streets of Japan.

People are just staring at us.

This is not meant to be on a street.

There's real cars driving right beside me.

Well, look how many people are crossing the street here.

This is the busiest

crosswalk in the world, and we're driving right through it.

We're on Go-karts in Tokyo. Go-karts!

I love Japan.

This place is crazy.

When we arrived at our next destination,

we met with master swordsman Yoshioki Sumida.

He's been training with the katana for the last 26 years,

and he actually agreed to giving us a rare lesson

in the art of the Samurai.

We each got our own katanas

and the lesson began with swinging techniques.

It was not as easy as we thought.

No, they're going to zoom in on it.

Then it was my turn.

Boys, you think I'm gonna be able to do this?

- Yes. - Yeah, you got it.

Hey! Let's see how the boys do.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Who am I?

And then, our samurai teacher gifted us this insane katana.

I don't deserve this, but thank you.

And because this is a quarter million dollar vacation,

we rented out the most premium sushi chef in the world,

along with this entire floating restaurant.

They got Louis Vuitton coasters.

The chef makes all the food right next to our table, and getting to see

a master at work was one of the coolest dining experiences

I've ever had.

Oh, wow.

Oh, my God.

They said we could feed the birds tuna.

Here you go, little man

See how he caught him in the air?

And once we paid the bill…

Thank you.

we were off to the craziest place I've ever been.

Follow me. I rented this whole place.

But before we see it, socks off.

This is basically an art museum, but for experience.

Oh, my God.

I have goosebumps.

My eyes are having a hard time processing it.

You think this is what it looks like when you die?

Probably.

What is this next room?

Normally, this place is completely full of other people,

but we secured the entire experience for ourselves.

This might be one of the best things we've ever done.

Dude, are these fish?

We're in a pool,

in a museum playing with animated fish.

This is the most unique thing you could ever do on a vacation.

Wait, the fish are surrounding us.

How did they know to surround us?

They love us.

They're going everywhere now.

Now you're all probably hungry.

Which is why we're at this restaurant that is ran by robots.

What?

My name is Pepper.

Can we have a seat, Pepper?

Sure. Let's find a comfortable spot.

We've reserved the entire place,

so the only other people here were the robot waiters.

Food robot is here.

Wait, so the food is delivered on a robot?

An oddly fluffy robot.

Pepper staring really hard at Chandler.

Pepper does not like Chandler.

Bro, I did nothing to you.

Everyone make sure you eat tons of food

'cause tomorrow I rented an entire theme park

and PewDiePie is going to be there, which is really crazy.

You see, PewDiePie and I have a long history.

I was wondering when you would show up.

We helped him in a subscriber race against T-series.

Grab your phone.

Go on YouTube, search PewDiePie and subscribe to him.

Eventually, we even caught up to him.

Mr. Beast has taken over me in subscribers.

I guess I'm getting a taste of my own medicine.

That's all right. He definitely deserves it.

And even though we've been friends for a while,

we've never actually met in person.

And because this is such a long awaited meetup,

I rented this entire amusement park.

This is Fuji-Q Highland,

the park with the scariest rides in all of Japan.

It usually has thousands of people waiting in line.

But as per usual,

I rented the whole thing just for us.

You can ride whatever ride you want.

I wasn't done but he left.

I'm about to go on this entire roller coaster alone.

What you're seeing here is the steepest roller coaster drop

in the world.

Are you scared?

- Yes. - Have fun!

I'm scared for him.

And like I promised,

the father of YouTube, PewDiePie, met us in the park.

A little later than planned because I texted on the wrong day.

Sorry, Felix.

And he wanted to ride the craziest coaster at the park.

Why are you scared?

I'm so scared of roller coasters.

This is one doesn't spin at all.

I'll ride it if Felix rides it.

- Let's go! - I'm terrified.

I'll do it. I'll do it.

If I die on this roller coaster, you guys are going to feel terrible.

You take your shoes off?

- Anything that could fly out. - That's how you know this is bad.

They don't even trust us with shoes on this ride.

You got this. You'll be fine.

I cannot.

This was my worst nightmare.

I'm scared, I don't want to do this.

You're scaring me. Calm down!

Whatever you do, don't throw up.

I'm terrified. Can we pick a better one?

We could have picked a nice, comfortable ride.

I actually have no idea what it is.

At some point, there's a literal 90 degree drop.

You're freaking me out. What did you sign me up for?

You brought me here.

But what we didn't know was

this ride goes backwards.

Why are we going backwards?

Why did I do this?

Oh, my God. We're upside down!

Jimmy!

This is crazy!

Best roller coaster ever!

Oh, my gosh.

Felix, what did we just do?

I'm crying.

Best roller coaster ever.

I got tears just running down.

It was good meeting you, Jimmy. I'm gonna head out.

Oh, yeah.

You screamed at the first little bow.

What?

Thank you.

I don't think I've ever had a chewy potato before.

That's what you get for passing me.

Felix, I'm sorry for passing you.

You don't have to threaten me with violence though.

- They're good. - Yeah, they are good.

That was the $250,000 vacation.

Felix, can you transition us?

Bro fist.
