Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography. You will not believe the stretch of days Mr. Beast just had. On September 7th at the MTV Video Music Awards, Jimmy Donaldson—aka Mr. Beast—made waves with a rare red carpet appearance alongside his fiancée, Thea Booysen. According to Parade, the couple stole the spotlight at UBS Arena in New York, where Jimmy presented the first award of the night. Booysen, a neuropsychologist and esports caster, dazzled in a rhinestone and pearl-studded mini dress and showed off her engagement ring for the paparazzi. The two have kept their relationship mostly private, but moments like this—coming off the Los Angeles premiere of Mr. Beast’s Beast Games series—are guaranteed to keep their fans buzzing until the next reveal. On the business front, seismic news just dropped about Mr. Beast aiming at the phone industry. Business Insider and Fortune both confirm he’s planning a 2026 launch for his own Mr. Beast-branded mobile service, modeled after the MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) playbook. The investor leak says Beast Industries is pushing hard for diversification; they’re already running Feastables chocolate bars, the Lunchly meal kit collab with Logan Paul and KSI, Mr. Beast Burger ghost kitchens, and even considering moves into fintech and mobile gaming.
