MrBeast's ambitions for his media empire have undergone significant changes over time, as evidenced by newly filed court documents. Initially, Donaldson, the YouTuber behind MrBeast, sought to build a burger empire. However, his focus shifted to exploring podcasts, NFTs, fintech, and mobile phone services. The documents reveal that MrBeast's company, Beast Industries, had plans for various ventures, including Beast Games, Netflix Beast Studios, Beast NFT, Beast Podcasting, a subscription fan platform called Beast World, and even theme parks and consumer products.

By 2024, the company unveiled a "multiverse" with media, consumer packaged goods, software, and other offerings. The company is currently advancing on several fronts, including fintech, creator platforms, and a mobile phone service called "Beast Mobile." In addition to these developments, MrBeast has also expanded his spectacle-style video offerings, launched a "better for you" snack brand, and plans to open a theme park in Saudi Arabia.
