- BIOGRAPHY:
The Rise of a Digital Titan
Jimmy Donaldson, known globally as MrBeast, has redefined the landscape of modern entertainment and entrepreneurship. Born in Wichita, Kansas, and raised in Greenville, North Carolina, Jimmy’s journey began in 2012 at the age of 13. His early content was a modest mix of gaming videos and “Worst Intros” commentary, but his obsessive dedication to the YouTube algorithm soon led to a breakthrough. In 2017, his “Counting to 100,000” video went viral, marking the birth of a new genre: high-stakes, big-budget stunt philanthropy.
By 2025, MrBeast had transitioned from a viral sensation into a global business mogul. His philosophy of “reinvesting every dollar” into production allowed him to create spectacles that rivaled Hollywood blockbusters. This strategy culminated in the 2025 release of Beast Games, a reality competition series produced with Amazon MGM Studios featuring a historic $5 million prize. His influence extends far beyond the screen; through initiatives like Team Trees, Team Seas, and the 2025 launch of Team Water, he has raised over $100 million for environmental and humanitarian causes.
In 2026, Jimmy’s empire, Beast Industries, continues to diversify. With the acquisition of the fintech platform Step in February 2026, he has pivoted toward systemic impact, aiming to provide financial tools to millions of young followers. Despite his “billionaire on paper” status, Jimmy remains famously “cash poor,” often stating that his wealth is entirely tied up in the equity of his companies and his mission to “make the world a better place.” Now engaged to author and streamer Thea Booysen, Jimmy Donaldson stands as the definitive architect of the creator economy, proving that attention, when leveraged with purpose, can build a multi-billion-dollar legacy.
