MrBeast and the $5 Billion Plan: YouTube Meets Silicon Valley
While many parents ban games and social media, YouTube megastar MrBeast is gearing up to raise $200M at a $5B valuation - and go public.
From counting to 100,000 to global stardom
Jimmy Donaldson started his channel at 13. In 2017, he went viral counting to 100,000 live. The internet took notice.
Game shows, giveaways, and chocolate bars
Now? He runs game-show-style YouTube hits, recreates Squid Game, hands out cash, and sells branded snacks. 371M subscribers. 66B views. $500M revenue - half from content, half from merch.
Building the Beast Industries empire
All profits are funneled back into wild new productions. His team’s project handbook recently leaked online - and it’s pure gold.
Oh, and he’s just 26. Never finished college. Who do your kids want to be?
