Beast Industries

Beast Industries is MrBeast's (Jimmy Donaldson) integrated media and consumer products company, raising capital at a $5 billion valuation in 2025. The company operates five verticals: software (Viewstats), CPG (Feastables, Lunchly), health/wellness, media (YouTube + Amazon), and video games. The business model treats content as a loss leader (~$80M media loss) to drive zero-cost customer acquisition for profitable CPG products ($250M Feastables revenue, $20M+ profit).
