MrBeast Seeks $5 Billion Valuation in New Funding Round

The YouTube star aims to raise hundreds of millions to expand his business empire, including packaged goods and media ventures.

Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, is in early talks with financial firms and wealthy individuals to raise hundreds of millions of dollars.
The funding round is expected to value his business empire, which includes Feastables and Lunchly, at approximately $5 billion.
Donaldson's businesses generated over $400 million in sales last year and are reportedly profitable.
MrBeast plans to use the funds to expand his packaged goods brands and media production ventures under a holding company structure.
Despite losing tens of millions on the first season of his Amazon Prime show 'Beast Games,' additional seasons are in development with budgets still under negotiation.
