MrBeast not quite in the bidding race for TikTok just yet, rep says
Jimmy Donaldson — better known online as MrBeast — isn’t in the TikTok bidding race just yet, according to a representative for the YouTube star. Donaldson stirred interest in a Jan. 13 post on X saying he’d “buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned.
After various videos and comments about wanting to buy TikTok so it doesn’t get banned, MrBeast has helped put in an offer.
MrBeast has taken to TikTok to tease that he might become the company's new CEO, and that he's about to put in his 'final offer' for the app.
On January 21, 2025, the Paul Hastings Law Firm shared a blog post stating they’re advising a “syndicate of investors” in a 100 per cent cash offer for TikTok’s US operations and “various assets” from ByteDance.
MrBeast may be known for his egregious monetary rewards for challenges, but the next massive spend for him is TikTok.
TikTok was no longer available in the USA. As no buyer could be found, the ban, which both Republicans and Democrats under former US President Joe Biden had campaigned for, came into effect last Sunday.
It’s not clear if TikTok’s owner ByteDance has seriously considered the offer, Bloomberg reported. Others floated as potential buyers include Elon Musk, Amazon, Oracle, and a syndicate headed by billionaire Frank McCourt.
The YouTube star MrBeast has joined an investor group who are vying to buy the US side of TikTok before a possible ban could be put in place.
TikTok’s time will expire on Jan. 19 if no buyer is found or the Supreme Court rules in the app’s favor. Here’s what to know.
