Mr.Beast:one of the biggest social media stars has the opportunity to become a part owner of one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Jimmy Donaldson, AKA MrBeast, and his team are in talks with multiple parties who have expressed interest in buying TikTok.
We’re told how the wealthy investor groups see it… if they end up acquiring TikTok’s US operations, they’ll need someone to help maintain and expand the business.Thanks to MrBeast’s exceptional success on social media, he can be a great partner.
According to our sources familiar with the current discussions, MrBeast will hypothetically invest in the company and provide equity by becoming a minority owner, but it’s too early to speculate how much ownership he will have.
On Monday night, MrBeast approached X with an offer to buy TikTok to prevent it from being banned in the U.S. He gave an update earlier today, saying the billionaires had approached him.

To be clear, no deal has been made between MrBeast and the potential ownership groups.There’s also a good chance that TikTok’s parent, ByteDance, won’t sell to anyone in the US.
The popular app, which has more than 170 million US users, has less than a week left before its Chinese parent company bans it in the US.
