MrBeast Considers Presidential Run Amid Growing Business Ventures
In a recent episode of comedian Theo Von’s podcast, renowned YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, reaffirmed his aspiration to run for the President of the United States. However, he emphasized that he requires time to achieve his business ambitions first, suggesting a gradual approach to his political career.
At just 26 years old, MrBeast has become a major player in the online entertainment sphere, amassing over 335 million subscribers. His ventures include innovative projects such as Lunchly, Feastables, and Beast Games, showcasing his entrepreneurial spirit and adaptive strategy to engage his audience.
MrBeast’s Thoughts on Future Political Aspirations
During the December 2 podcast episode, MrBeast discussed his previous comments regarding a potential presidential run made back in July. When prompted about these plans, he explained, “It would probably be when I’m 50 or 60, because I would need to accomplish everything I want in business and stuff. Then probably take 10 years and do something at the local level, then state level, and work my way up. We’ll see.”

MrBeast’s Call to Lower Presidential Age Requirement
Back in July, MrBeast teased his fans with the idea of entering the presidential race—on the condition that the age requirement of 35 years was reduced. He tweeted, “If we lower the age to run for President, I’ll jump in the race,” which quickly garnered widespread attention and social media buzz. He later stated, if elected, he would “focus on running the largest economy on earth.”

During the podcast, however, MrBeast revealed that his earlier remarks were somewhat tongue-in-cheek. He acknowledged that his statement about running for president was more about sparking conversation among his followers than a genuine political aspiration. “I might if I’m older, but if they lowered it, that was mostly just a joke because I knew people would freak the f*ck out and talk about it,” he explained with laughter.
Public Reaction and Upcoming Projects
After MrBeast reiterated his presidential ambitions, many of his supporters expressed on social media that he would likely be a strong candidate, emphasizing his philanthropic efforts and community impact as justifications for their support.
As MrBeast contemplates his future potential in politics, he remains busy with his professional projects. His highly anticipated show, Beast Games, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime on December 19, adding to his impressive resume that already includes 28 Guinness World Records.
