  • MrBeast has over 100 million subscribers on his main channel on the internet.

  • Donaldson said that he was offered $1 billion for his content empire.

  • He said it would take a lot of money to sell.

MrBeast said he received an offer of $1 billion to take over his empire, but he turned it down.

Andrew Shulz said he was shocked that Donaldson hadn't been offered the craziest check in history for his work.

Donaldson said that he had been offered a crazy one. "There's people, not like official term sheets, but people that would be able to afford it, a billion dollars if they could own the company and the channel."

He said that the offer was a legitimate one and that he couldn't give any more information.

Donaldson was asked if he had a price in mind for his channel and related ventures if he were to sell in the future.

I don't want to say it because I want to be there. If we have a mobile game company and we have 100 million people playing it, and we have a thousand physical Beast Burgers and Feastables in 20,000 stores, it would be a lot of money.

Donaldson was planning to hire a programmer to create a mobile strategy game.

Donaldson is one of the most popular and highest-paid creators on the internet, and is known for stunts like turning a backyard into a ball pit, and giving away a million dollars, but only giving people one minute to spend it. He gave away everything from an island to millions of dollars in cash.

A group of former employees told The New York Times that Donaldson created a hostile work environment and that his behavior changed when the cameras were not around.
