YouTuber MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, who shot to fame with his prize money game shows, is reportedly seeking investments worth millions of dollars for his production company, MrBeast LLC, which values his company at $5 billion, Bloomberg reported.
With over 368 million subscribers, he is one of the biggest YouTubers.
The investment round wouldn’t be his first. Donaldson previously raised funds from Alpha Wave Global.
He is known for stunt-filled videos, massive money giveaways and viral challenges like his Squid Game recreation, which cost $3.5 million to produce. His Amazon Prime reality show Beast Games, costing over $100 million, became the platform’s most-watched unscripted show in January.
The new funding round could expand the influencer’s media business, which includes consumer products like Feastables chocolates and Lunchly snacks.
Donaldson’s media and consumer businesses reportedly made $400 million in sales in 2024. However, his MrBeast Burger venture faces legal disputes with a former partner.
