YouTube megastar Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is reportedly seeking to raise several hundred million dollars to expand his growing business empire, targeting a valuation of around $5 billion, according to Bloomberg.
Donaldson is in early discussions with financial firms and high-net-worth investors to fund a holding company overseeing his ventures, including Feastables, Lunchly, and his video production firm. His businesses are already profitable, generating over $400 million in revenue last year.
As YouTube’s most-followed creator, MrBeast is known for high-budget challenge videos and massive giveaways. He has also ventured into television with Beast Games, a series produced for Amazon Prime Video. Previously, he raised funds from Alpha Wave Global and was recently linked to a potential TikTok bid.
While details of the fundraising round remain unclear, the move signals Donaldson’s ambitions to scale his influence beyond digital content into major consumer brands and entertainment.
