Boasting over 100 million subscribers, he\u2019s second only to PewDiePie \u2014 and his empire continues to grow. With over six official channels, a successful restaurant chain, a chocolate bar line, and his very own charity, MrBeast\u2019s success is the envy of many content creators\u2026 but he\u2019s not done yet. In an October 5 podcast episode with the \u2018Tiny Meat Gang,\u2019 MrBeast spoke on the possibility of running for President of the United States to \u201cfix\u201d some of the nation\u2019s issues. MrBeast reveals his plan to run for United States President \u201cYeah, maybe in like, 20 years, we\u2019ll see,\u201d he said of the subject. \u201cYeah, I wanna try to make a ton of money and then just give it all away right before I announce my campaign. Imagine I have 10 billion dollars and I just give it all away, and I\u2019m just like, \u2018I can\u2019t be bought.\u2019 I had it all. Give it all away. That\u2019s pretty powerful.\u201d \u201cAnd then, instead of giving in to lobbyists or agendas, I just like, do whatever\u2019s good for the American people. Sounds like it\u2019d be a good idea.\u201d \u201cI think I could, to be honest,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think when I\u2019m 40. Because I do think Presidents are just getting way too f**king old. Especially by then, a lot of the older people in America will die out and there will be more people around our age. I think we\u2019re due for younger Presidents.\u201d (Topic begins at 1:14:00) This isn\u2019t the first time MrBeast has hinted at running for Prez; he brought up the topic back in 2020, saying he\u2019d like to run \u201cone day\u201d when he\u2019s more mature. He\u2019s not the only YouTuber who\u2019s considered the Presidency in their career plans, either. Logan Paul has publicly considered the prospect multiple times, previously planning a 2032 run with Jake as Secretary of Defense in a viral podcast episode. For now, it looks like both influencers are allowing themselves to mature before getting into politics \u2014 and that\u2019s just as well, seeing as candidates must be at least 35 years old to run for the highest office in the United States and they\u2019re still in their twenties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MrBeast considering running for United States President at 40 Unsplash.com: Samuel Branch \/ YouTube: TMG StudiosYouTube star MrBeast admitted that he\u2019s open to running for US President once he turns 40, and says a big part of his campaign would be advertising how he \u201ccan\u2019t be bought.\u201d Jimmy \u2018MrBeast\u2019 Donaldson is one of the most [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55731\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
