**LOS ANGELES, CA** – MrBeast, the internet sensation known for his elaborate stunts and philanthropic giveaways, is reportedly setting his sights on the mobile phone market. According to a leaked investor deck from early 2025, viewed by Business Insider, Jimmy Donaldson, the 27-year-old behind the MrBeast empire, is exploring the launch of a MrBeast-branded mobile phone service, potentially by 2026.

While the project is not an immediate priority, sources close to the company confirm that the MrBeast team is actively pursuing a diverse range of new ventures. Instead of building a telecommunications network from scratch, MrBeast is likely to follow the model of other celebrities like Ryan Reynolds, utilizing a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) approach. This involves partnering with an existing carrier, such as T-Mobile or Verizon, to offer a service that runs on their established infrastructure.

The potential payoff for a successful MVNO is significant. Reynolds famously sold his MVNO, Mint Mobile, to T-Mobile in 2023 for a deal valued at up to $1.35 billion. With over 400 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, even a small conversion rate to paying mobile customers could create a substantial business for MrBeast.

This potential foray into telecoms is part of a broader diversification strategy for the MrBeast brand. Beast Industries already boasts a chocolate bar brand, Feastables, a Lunchables competitor called Lunchly, and a toy line. The company is reportedly also considering branching into fintech and mobile games.

Experts suggest that the key to success for a celebrity-backed MVNO lies in leveraging their established fanbase and outsourcing the complexities of billing and customer service to a specialized third party. A clear rollout plan and experienced industry talent are also crucial for securing a partnership with a major carrier.

“The ultimate objective is to focus on the marketing and sales and outsource everything to a third party,” says Alex Besen, an MVNO consultant and founder and CEO of The Besen Group.

While official details remain scarce, the potential launch of a MrBeast mobile service signals the ambition of Donaldson and his team to transform the MrBeast brand from a YouTube phenomenon into a multifaceted media and consumer goods empire.
