Funny thing is, if you brought the maximum recommended accommodation of 900 people, everyone would only have to chip in around $78 a night, which is cheaper than most hotels

@@justfrankjustdank2538 good point my man, you can claim victory
I really didn’t understand how big 160^2 km was until you told me that it was like 160 times bigger than 1^2 km, cheers.
Math is hard. 🤣🤣🤣
For context, that's nearly 161 square kilometers.
letao12 wow the more you know
For your discretion, km^2 or km².
@Dzhjakuras Alhysdaer I think he was poking fun at people making pointless "that's X times bigger than Y" statements. If you know how big a square metre is, it will still be hard to imagine what 160 square metres is. Similarly, if something says that's 300 times the size of a football field... you still have no idea.

I'm honestly stunned that nobody took them up on the booking. 200k for three days of living like royalty seems the kind of thing that a ton of people (especially now in the age of influencers) would be lining up for a chance at.
The influencers cannot afford that.

New MrBeast video: RENTING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY FOR 70,000$
I was about to say that
Who?
RiwenX how do you not know who mr beast it
Why would I know who that is?
it costs less than the golden pizza he ate, so he could do it rn if it was still an offer
Imagine renting an entire country and using it to have the biggest party ever.
That's something I want to do before I die for sure.

Bullies: you are weak

Bullies: wut
Lichtenstein army: you heard the temporary leader CHARGE
you realise that last time Lichtenstein went to war (in the late 19th Century) they could only find 70 people for their army... and came back with 71
James Lee yeah but it’s only against one man
@@eelsemaj99 yes so they would win against the bullies and come back with more men like they did before.

Lichtenstein doesn't have an army, but they do have a national police.
Liechtenstein needs money to grow their great empire, obviously. 🇱🇮
Liechtenstein is the bank. they allow others to do the dirty work they just count there gold.
It's probally to invade the swiss but c'mon?

You know that Bill Gates is Rich when you find out that he can rent AN ENTIRE COUNTRY for almost 4000 YEARS with his Net Worth...... I wish i was that rich.
He can just buy the country

Net worth is a bit iffy in how it works, but I get you
I misread "net worth" as "wet north" and your comment had dawned a lot of questions in my mind

You could either rent Liechtenstein, or you could get the Empathy Suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas for $30,000/night more.
Doug demuro taught me that
The Empathy Suite, where their motto is "we don't give a fuck if you rent it"
You're thinking of apathy

Doobiescoo1992, it was a funny joke.
Emanuel Gonzalez is it?
@@wiawii yes it is
@@wiawii I think the topic is important enough to the maker of this video that he would risk losing a lot of his potential audience rather than keeping quiet.
Wait so there’s accommodations for maximum 900 people and it costs 70,000 per night. Theoretically if you just got yourself and 899 of your closest friends you could rent out Liechtenstein for only $77/day. I’ve stayed in motels that are more expensive.
Imagine a high school senior field trip or something where they just rent out Liechtenstein.
That would be badass, but when I graduated, just the cost of transport to Lichtenstein would have been about $700 round trip, and thats before you take into account the cost per night
899 of your closest friends
@Zelotic wow, you don’t have at least 2000+ friends and 999 close friends? What a loser smh

$70,000 is a lot of money but not too much if you think about that you are renting a whole country.
Edit: Thank you for the likes guys. I’m finally CZcams famous, even if it’s only from comments.
The Smart & The Dumb and it doesn’t make sense
i mean if you can actullay house 1000 people. not a bad deal for a wedding
it's 70 000$ for a party of up to 900. That's 77.77$ USD per person. Not that much if you manage to find 900 people.
Dude mr beast spent that much on pizza
he needs to rent this country as a video
exactly
ok, whos ready to get a group of 70,000 people, each pay one dollar, and have a sick party?

but it can only accommodate 900 people.

Pro: Consistent pronounciation of Liechtenstein

Or are you truly talking about a place called Litchenstein? :)
Is it pronounced like-ten-Stein?

Congratulations! A country recognized you and named a street after you to honor you for... something
Calling Liechtenstein an "actual, honest-to-goodness country" is a bit of a stretch though. It is mainly a tax haven, that's why it's GDP is so high.
well, it's a sovereign tax haven
It's also recognized by the UN.
its*
If it accommodates up to 900 people it could end up costing only $78 per person per night which wouldn't be much for a very big wedding or corporate event.
Liechtenstein is a great country that is a funny historical oddity.
Jeff Bezos could've done this for 5000 years. for him, a year of this is "easy"

"Rather impressive economy" is probably the biggest understatement of this year. I live at the border to lichtenstein and I'm not exagurating when I say that people who don't drive expensive mercedes or bmws are the minority there. And don't get me started ob their houses. But then again, if I could have the salary of swizerland with even fewer taxes and the country next to me had the prices austria has, I'd be swimming in money too.
The Prince of Liechtenstein is also the richest monarch in all of Europe. His net worth is estimated to be 5 times more than that of Queen Elizabeth.
@@maythesciencebewithyouwho is now dead
1:43 thanks i didn't understand the "per capita" part until you said that.
3:13 so you are implying that i would be totally allowed to enforce laws that would prohibit not wearing a small hat? Or perhaps a law that would require every citizen to quack as a greeting? Man, possibilities are truly endless!
HAI: "Lichtenstein didn't let women vote till 1984"
Switzerland: "Hold my Beer"
On Federal level, it was 1971 actually (still nothing to be proud of). We don't talk about the Canton (~state) of Appenzell, that voted against it in 1990 and ultimately had to be overruled by the state in the same year...

if the minimum stay is 3 days, for $210,000 and the maximum accommodation is 950 people, that's only just over $220 per person, which is arguable better than most American hotel stays for that period of time. I'm surprised nobody took up this offer.
Great now

Yeah, I know lichtenstein, we once drove through it, when we went to germany, its right next to my homecountry^^ (Switzerland)

That is not Gutenberg Fortress, that is Vaduz Castle.
You know there is a old book called the “A kingdom for sale” this sort of reminds me of that but you have to rent it
Liechtenstein: You can legit rent us!
Mr Beast: Allow me to introduce myself
So I had gone to Europe in one of those group tours ya know the ones which were always rushing. Anyway we rushed so much we had extra time, so the tour guy was like let's go visit leichenstein.
It was like a town,broken roads a bit run down but the people were nice. They took our photos in old english outfits. It was fun. They are quite dependent on tourism
You just called the country "Dead Body stone" in german
0:35 the more you know
That stock footage of the wine pouring in the glass was super satisfying
It is also where Sir Oric von Lichtenstein comes from! And Heath Ledger played a guy who pretended to be that guy
Liechtenstein should start digging out underground levels so that it can be measured by volume instead of area.
Liechtenstein has always been that one country you treat like a child using their imagination. Like
“Look! I’m a country!”
“Sure you are, champ!”
I have no problems with it, nor do I care one way or the other. I mean, they literally sent 80 troops to fight in the Austro-Prussian War, and came back with 81, because they made a friend along the way.
I found on wikipedia that they did send 80 people, but didn't engage in any fighting. Did they seriously come back with 81 people? Because that would be some serious "Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting" level military know how.

There's a hotel room in Las Vegas that costs $100,000 per night to rent. (The "Empathy Suite" at the Palms Casino Resort, in case you're interested.) So, really, renting an *entire country* for only $70K per night is a bargain! ;-)
