Mr. Beast BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has been making headlines with a series of major professional moves and public spectacles this week. The buzz started with a viral YouTube video in which MrBeast, alongside NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, jokingly claimed he was buying the entire NFL and giving a 54th roster spot to YouTube creators like Dude Perfect and IShowSpeed. The stunt was crafted to promote YouTube’s historic first-ever live NFL broadcast, streaming the Chargers vs. Chiefs opener from São Paulo for free worldwide, as reported by YouTube and the Times of India. This campaign, beyond social media theatrics, signals the deepening ties between the creator economy and legacy sports, shifting younger audiences toward streaming and creator-driven broadcasts.
The event didn’t pass quietly—NFL fans were sharply divided. While some praised the culture clash between YouTubers and traditional sports, others blasted the broadcast as a flop, per the Times of India. The energy was boosted further by the viral antics of Chargers superfan Merrianne Do and a live MrBeast-style challenge with Super Bowl tickets and a cannonball punishment on the line. Social media reflected the controversy, with MrBeast trending as viewers debated the future of sports entertainment.
Not content with just creator-sports crossovers, MrBeast is moving aggressively toward new business frontiers. Fortune, Business Insider, and Android Authority have all confirmed through leaked investor documents that MrBeast is planning to launch a branded mobile phone service by 2026. The approach follows the mobile virtual network operator model, where he’ll lease capacity from carriers like Verizon or T-Mobile, using his brand to court Gen Z and their parents. This phone project is just one aspect of a $5 billion dollar valuation drive for Beast Industries, which is also expanding into fintech and mobile gaming, while running other ventures like Feastables snacks and the new Lunchly meal kits with Logan Paul and KSI. Bloomberg reports the company is currently seeking $200 million in fresh funding.
MrBeast also just reached his $40 million fundraising goal for #TeamWater, a major clean water charity initiative with Mark Rober. According to this week's Tubefilter roundup, the campaign’s success means Water Aid can now distribute safe drinking water to communities around the world—further adding to MrBeast’s growing reputation as philanthropy’s power player.
And then there’s his upcoming two-minute aerial stunt for the VMAs, co-developed with Red Bull, which will see him facilitating a dramatic Moon Person trophy delivery live on MTV. AdWeek describes this upcoming collaboration as both record-breaking and secretive, with MrBeast at the heart of the spectacle.
Across every corner of social media, MrBeast’s moves—from sports to charity to telecom—are igniting discussion, proving once again that whatever the platform or industry, if there’s a headline to be made, MrBeast is determined to be at the center of it.
