MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson), the 27-year-old YouTuber known for his epic challenges and giveaways to his viewers, is venturing into a new realm as he is reportedly launching his own phone company.

Specifically, according to Business Insider , based on a leaked investment presentation, in 2026, the YouTuber with more than 400 million subscribers to his main channel is planning to launch a mobile phone service.

In addition to making phones, the source also reports that MrBeast and executives at Beast Industries are looking into investing in both fintech and mobile gaming.

Specifically, this YouTuber's new plan includes establishing a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), a strategy to provide mobile phone services using existing networks from major carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon.

By partnering with one of these carriers, MrBeast can offer affordable rates and good service without incurring the costs of building a mobile network itself.

In 2024, MrBeast's side business, food company Feastables, generated about $250 million in revenue and more than $20 million in profit, according to Bloomberg .

Meanwhile, the media business, which includes the YouTube channel and survival game show on Prime Video, lost nearly $80 million .

Not only is he the "king of YouTube" after hitting 400 million subscribers, MrBeast has also become the top content creator on the Internet, taking the No. 1 spot on Forbes ' 2025 Top Creators list.

In 2024, he also topped the list, dubbed the "king" of chaos, stunts, and expensive gifts when making YouTube content.

With an estimated $85 million in earnings by 2025, over 634 million subscribers, and a business empire built on crazy ideas, MrBeast is still at the top of YouTube.

However, this influential man also faced a lot of noise. In September 2024, MrBeast faced a 54-page lawsuit for creating a “toxic work environment” on the set of Beast Games , a reality TV show produced by Donaldson in conjunction with Amazon.
