MrBeast Joins All-Cash Bid to Buy TikTok Amid 75-Day U.S. Ban Deadline
Jan 22, 2025, 02:37 PM
MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has joined a group of American investors led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley in an effort to purchase TikTok's U.S. operations. The group, which includes institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals, has submitted an all-cash bid for the social media platform. This move comes as TikTok faces a potential ban in the U.S., with a 75-day deadline set by President Donald Trump for ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, to sell the app or face prohibition. MrBeast, known for being the internet's most-followed and highest-earning content creator with 346 million subscribers on YouTube, expressed his enthusiasm about potentially becoming TikTok's new CEO. The specifics of the offer, including the amount, have not been disclosed.
