Mr. Beast BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
It has been a blockbuster week for MrBeast. Jimmy Donaldson grabbed headlines with his latest wild stunt, sparking NFL rumors after posting I bought the NFL and put a YouTuber on each team. This triggered rampant social media speculation, but as indy100 clarified, he didn’t actually buy the National Football League; it was a clever collaboration between the NFL and YouTube to promote the new season—a move that underscores how far his digital influence stretches into mainstream pop culture. Just months ago, he joked about buying TikTok, even joining tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley to propose a bid for the app’s U.S. operations, but his spokesperson later dismissed any official involvement. These viral antics keep painting Donaldson not only as the king of YouTube, but as a master of blending business, humor, and headline-hungry hype.
More traditional media got their taste of MrBeast—literally. On September 7, he made a rare red carpet appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in New York, taking center stage with fiancée Thea Booysen. Their arrival became one of the night’s major talking points. Parade reported they looked every bit the power couple: Donaldson in a tailored black suit and Booysen in a pearl-studded mini dress, flashing her engagement ring. The pair posed together and with other celebs, marking a cherished moment outside their usual social media presence. While no updates on wedding plans appeared yet, fans are on edge, watching both closely for any future reveals.
The VMAs fallout also jumpstarted chatter about a potential MrBeast partnership with Lisa of BLACKPINK. A YouTube clip making rounds after the ceremony hinted at more than just a casual mention—some insiders suggest this could be the groundwork for a mega-collaboration blurring music, fashion, and digital spectacle. While unconfirmed, the very possibility has set entertainment industry tongues wagging. Lisa’s absence at the awards paradoxically became a story itself, with MrBeast’s shoutout amplifying rumors of a cross-genre empire in the making.
In business news, Donaldson secured up to 15 million dollars in North Carolina film grants, according to The Assembly NC. This injection nearly doubles the prize for Beast Games contestants and is the single largest payout from the state’s annual budget for TV and film. The grant supports the upcoming season of his Amazon Prime Video game show, highlighting his growing stake in mainstream media production alongside digital dominance.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Disney dropped an unexpected teaser for Tron: Ares, featuring MrBeast in his first big-screen cameo. Critics have been divided—some see his role as bridging legacy franchises with Gen-Z audiences, while others view it as a jarring mismatch. Still, his appearance set social media abuzz, hinting that even Hollywood now wants a piece of the MrBeast phenomenon.
Whether landing blockbuster grants, stirring sports controversies, hinting at K-pop collaborations, or strutting Hollywood red carpets, MrBeast is shaping the media headlines and entertainment ecosystem in real time. The only certainty is the world’s biggest YouTuber will keep surprising us—and every move this week shows why even established industries now watch, adapt, and occasionally scramble in response to his next stunt.
