Social media sensation MrBeast is reportedly in discussions with investment groups interested in purchasing TikTok, potentially becoming a minority owner. The proposed deal aims to secure TikTok's future in the U.S., facing a looming ban due to its Chinese ownership.
Jimmy Donaldson, better known to his millions of followers as MrBeast, one of social media 's biggest stars, might be on the verge of becoming a part-owner in one of the world's most popular social media platforms. According to sources with direct knowledge, MrBeast and his team are engaged in discussions with various investment groups who have expressed interest in acquiring TikTok. These wealthy investor groups envision MrBeast as a key asset in their potential takeover.
They believe his unique success and massive following on social media would be invaluable in maintaining and expanding TikTok's operations in the U.S. The arrangement, if it were to materialize, would involve MrBeast hypothetically investing in the company and gaining equity, making him a minority owner. The exact percentage of ownership is still unclear as discussions are ongoing. It's important to note that no deal has been finalized and there's a considerable chance that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, may choose not to sell to any U.S. entity. Adding another layer of complexity, the deadline for TikTok to be sold by its Chinese parent company to avoid a potential U.S. ban is rapidly approaching, leaving the future of the app in a state of uncertainty
