Billionaire YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, is reportedly planning to enter the mobile phone market by launching his own wireless carrier in 2026 under his company Beast Industries. The service is expected to operate as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), allowing him to offer phone plans without building network infrastructure.
An MVNO leases access from major carriers, enabling companies to provide flexible, niche pricing and branded perks. Ryan Reynolds previously used the same model with Mint Mobile, reportedly earning $300 million when T-Mobile acquired the company in 2023.
MrBeast, with over 431 million subscribers across his YouTube channels, has a massive and younger audience, which could translate into significant profits. The YouTuber has already seen success with ventures like Feastables, projected to reach $375 million in 2025, MrBeast Lab toys, and Lunchly packaged meals. His new mobile venture could potentially replicate or exceed these successes.
