What Is Harrison From Beast Games Up To Now?

by

It’s undeniable that there seems to be a questionable aspect surrounding “Beast Games,” the Prime Video reality series where MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) offers a staggering $5 million prize to participants who can endure a series of demanding tasks. Prior to its release, rumors circulated about chaotic production and even injuries sustained on set. However, despite these issues, the show also highlights not only the extreme measures some individuals will take for the chance to amass a large fortune, but also the resilience of the human spirit.

In this scenario, Harrison Schoen, or Player 251, stands out as the perfect representation of the concept. Initially, the remaining players were divided into four groups. Assigned as captain for one of MrBeast’s psychological tests within “Beast Games,” Schoen found himself in a unique position. Each captain was presented with an escalating sum of money that they could grab at any moment by pushing a button, thereby eliminating everyone else on their team. Remarkably, none of the captains chose to accept this offer, even when it climbed up to an astounding $1 million.

Although the other three captains proceeded to Beast Island for the competition, Schoen was eliminated in Episode 3 following his refusal of a $1 million bribe. When contestants were divided into groups of three and required to vote off one member, Schoen became the unfortunate choice. As a result, he left empty-handed instead of receiving the promised million dollars. This elimination proved to be the most heartbreaking on the show, surpassing any elimination seen in Netflix’s competing reality series, “Squid Game: The Challenge.” Since his appearance on “Beast Games,” let’s explore Schoen’s post-filming life and the internet’s reactions to his decision.

What’s Harrison Schoen been up to after his Beast Games elimination?

After being removed from “Beast Games” Episode 3, Harrison Schoen shared on Instagram about his past, his convictions, and his decision to forgo a million dollars. In the end, it was all about his core values and the belief that no one should be harmed, not even when participating in a game show.

In response to being eliminated shortly after refusing a million dollars, Schoen confessed that his fellow contestants offered him immunity, but he chose to let them have a fair chance because he didn’t consider himself superior to them just because he had turned down money before. The video primarily focuses on his principles, and from his social media activity, it seems he hasn’t been troubled by the loss of such a substantial amount of money. Filming for “Beast Games” occurred during the summer of 2024, and since then, he has been active on social media.

From my perspective as a fan, it appears that Schoen boasts an impressive collection of vehicles on his Instagram. However, there was a time when rumors circulated among “Beast Games” players that Schoen resided in his car, which made them question his financial stability. Yet, after witnessing some of his luxury rides like the Porsche “Pink Pig” livery he showcased in November 2024, I can’t help but wonder if those concerns were misplaced. It remains a mystery how much Schoen invested in acquiring that particular car or how much wealth he has accumulated, but it certainly seems like he isn’t struggling financially.

What was Harrison Schoen’s life like pre-Beast Games?

Harrison Schoen is open about his origins on social media platforms. In an Instagram post, he shares how he served in the U.S. Navy until 2020, after which he moved in with a girlfriend, but the relationship ended soon after. To make ends meet, he considered various income-generating methods, such as residing in a garage while leasing his owned properties to save money. By 2021, he chose to live in a car full-time and currently calls home a 1985 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1300L camper – a spacious vehicle equipped with living amenities, including a compact kitchen. Consequently, when he mentioned on “Beast Games” that he resided in a car, it was actually a comfortable one, featuring a mini-apartment-like setup.

It seems that Schoen generates a substantial income through content creation. He has amassed a significant fanbase on Instagram with over 450,000 followers. His appearance on “Beast Games” undoubtedly brought him more visibility. Additionally, he owns and operates 957Adventure, which is characterized on Instagram as a compact collection of Porsche Cayennes. From both his accounts, Schoen frequently shares posts about the diverse vehicles he possesses and encounters, along with his experiences living life on the open highway.

It seems his latest escapade consists of a journey along the Pan-American Highway spanning across North and South America, aiming to reach Argentina. Given the abundance of vehicles at his disposal and the flexibility to cover 18,000 miles without holding another job apart from content creation, it’s plausible that Schoen might not have felt the $1 million offer from “Beast Games” was necessary.

Social media is mixed on Harrison Schoen’s choice on Beast Games

Harrison Schoen’s team on “Beast Games” initially hesitated to make him captain due to his background as a homeless veteran, fearing he might accept a substantial bribe. However, it was later discovered that he was an excellent choice for the team as he declined the bribe and appears to be more financially stable than initially perceived. Yet, a million dollars remains a significant amount, and social media has shown a range of reactions.

In my gaming world, folks might label Schoen as imprudent. You see, it’s all about that one $5 million jackpot in this game show, and at some stage, Schoen knew he’d have to backstab someone to claim the top prize. After being ousted, Reddit user u/SnooTangerines3355 shared an insightful thought: “By passing on the million, you essentially pour a million into a pool that will eventually have players gunning for you.” It’s a solid argument; winning is the objective, and he could’ve cashed out right then and there.

Even though he posted on Instagram that he has no intention of deceiving anyone, it’s evident that he values his moral principles and chooses not to compromise them. Many people appreciate honesty, as demonstrated by @salvagetoscenic on Instagram who commented positively on one of Schoen’s posts: “I am beyond proud. Keep sharing your inspiring journey, brother.” Now, the best course for Schoen is to leverage his integrity to gain more followers on social media, a crucial aspect for any content creator. With the influx of fans from “Beast Games,” Schoen has the potential to earn substantial income in the future.
