MrBeast is engaged to fellow digital creator Thea Booysen, and says he’s leaning on family to help fund the ceremony. “Ironically, I’m actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol,” he added. “But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.”

During Amazon’s upfronts in May, the company confirmed Beast Games would return for Seasons 2 and 3, calling it Prime Video’s most-watched unscripted show.
MrBeast’s financial strategy—reinvesting nearly all profits into content—has helped him dominate the creator economy, but it has also left him cash-strapped when it comes to personal milestones.
The wedding date has not been publicly announced.
