"MrBeast is looking to conquer a new sector: telecommunications. The world's top YouTuber has plans for a mobile-phone service, according to a leaked investor deck from early 2025 viewed by Business Insider. A person close to the company said the MrBeast team has been moving forward with a wide range of new initiatives and partnerships and has no specific timeline for its mobile-phone project, which isn't an immediate priority. The leaked deck indicated it would launch in 2026."
"The payoff for a successful MVNO can be huge. Reynolds sold his company, Mint Mobile, to T-Mobile in 2023 in a deal valued at up to $1.35 billion, according to the companies. MrBeast has over 400 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. If he converted even a small percentage of those fans into paying mobile customers, it could become a competitive business."
MrBeast plans to launch a MrBeast-branded mobile-phone service as an MVNO, with a leaked investor deck indicating a 2026 launch. Company insiders say the project is moving forward among other initiatives but is not an immediate priority. The MVNO would leverage existing carrier networks like T-Mobile or Verizon rather than building infrastructure. Celebrity-run MVNOs have become popular, with Ryan Reynolds selling Mint Mobile to T-Mobile for up to $1.35 billion. MrBeast's more than 400 million YouTube subscribers could provide a substantial customer base. The MrBeast brand already includes Feastables, Lunchly, and other consumer products.
