MrBeast has put forth an offer to bid on the video-based social media platform, TikTok, in order to prevent it from getting banned in the US.
Jimmy Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, has been putting in efforts to acquire the video-based social media platform, TikTok. On January 20, 2025, the YouTuber hinted at being the platform’s next CEO and said he was putting together an incredible offer. For context, MrBeast had previously talked about seeking advice from billionaires in order to purchase the Chinese-owned social media app in an effort to stop its ban in the US.
Even though Donald Trump assured that TikTok does have a future in the US, it is still uncertain, as the app faced a 14-hour outage in the States. MrBeast made the news earlier when he announced that he was in talks to buy the social media platform.
Moreover, MrBeast has made a final offer for the platform. In a video posted on X and Instagram, he stated that he will be taking up the role of CEO if the purchase is completed. He said:
“TikTTok, I’m on a private jet right now about to put in my official offer for this platform. I might be your guys’ new CEO. I’m super excited while we wait, I’m going to be giving five random people that follow me $10,000. I wish I could say more about the offer I’m putting in, but I can’t for now. Just know, it’s going to be crazy!”

Despite having to keep the specifics discreet, the Paul Hastings Law Firm disclosed the next day after MrBeast’s meeting that they were in the process of consulting a “syndicate of investors” who have an all-cash bid ready to buy the platform.
MrBeast’s Initial Announcement About TikTok
MrBeast, the world’s most popular YouTuber, has accumulated significant money through his content creation and business operations. Forbes put him first on its Top Creators list in 2024, with an estimated net worth of $85 million. Despite his vast wealth, the content creator admitted that he would require billionaire investors to complete the purchase of TikTok.
On January 14, 2024, MrBeast announced that he would be buying TikTok so that it wouldn’t get banned. In a post on X, he stated,
“Okay fine, I’ll buy Tik Tok so it doesn’t get banned.”

This post went viral, and X users discussed how even Elon Musk wants to put in a bid for the video-based platform. In reply to his post, MrBeast also shared an update saying that ever since he tweeted it, a lot of billionaires had reached out to him. It said,
“Unironically I’ve had so many billionaires reach out to me since I tweeted this, let’s see if we can pull this off 🙌🏻.”
