MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) is reportedly planning to launch a phone company. The popular YouTuber with 431 million subscribers is known for his grand giveaways and viral challenges, seems to launch his own mobile phone service. As per a report of Business Insider, this move is part of a broader plan by Donaldson and executives at Beast Industries to expand the MrBeast brand beyond online videos. The brand has already entered markets with Feastables, a chocolate line, a toy collection, and Lunchly. The phone service is seen as another step towards building a larger business empire. As per reports, the mobile service is not expected to launch immediately, but it could possibly roll out in 2026. Instead of building a telecom company from the scratch, MrBeast may partner with telecom carriers like T-Mobile or Verizon using a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) model, a strategy already used by public figures like Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile and US President Donald Trump. It is reportedly noted that the payoff for a successful MVNO can be massive, as seen in 2023 when Ryan Reynolds sold his company, Mint Mobile, to T-Mobile in a deal valued at up to USD 1.35 billion. As per a report of The Verge, Trump Mobile’s Terms of Use indicate that the service is "powered by Liberty Mobile," a freedom-themed MVNO that operates using T-Mobile’s network.
