Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, is reportedly planning to launch a mobile phone service in 2026. Business Insider revealed the leak after reviewing an internal pitch deck that showed the YouTube star exploring the telecommunications industry.
Donaldson is not expected to build a new network. Instead, the plan points to a white-label service powered by an existing carrier like Verizon or T-Mobile. This model, known as an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator), has worked well for celebrities such as Ryan Reynolds, who co-owned Mint Mobile before selling it to T-Mobile for $1.35 billion.
The move adds to MrBeast’s expanding business ventures. His portfolio already includes Feastables, a chocolate brand; Lunchy, a packaged lunch competitor; and MrBeast Burger, a ghost kitchen chain. With more than 400 million subscribers across his channels, even a small share of his audience subscribing could mean significant profit.
