Did MrBeast Really Sell His YouTube Channel to Disney? The Truth Revealed
The internet rumor mill is always churning, and it’s incredibly easy for things to be taken out of context as posts are shared and reshared. And it seems this may be the case with a recent rumor about MrBeast.
MrBeast and the Disney Sale Rumors
The rumors that Jimmy sold his YouTube channel to Disney originated when an out-of-context clip from Graham Stephan and Jack Selby’s The Iced Coffee Hour podcast was shared widely on social media. In it, Graham and Jack are trying to play a prank on their guests, Sam and Colby.

“For $5 billion,” they continue. “The number got leaked.”
“This 17-second clip has been seen more than two million times, with plenty of people reacting to the news — but it didn’t take long for Jimmy himself to weigh in on the news.
Graham and Jack’s Prank Gone Wrong
The 17-second clip that’s been shared is only a small fraction of the whole podcast episode, which is more than three hours long. The clip happens in the intro of the episode, and after Graham and Jack attempt to trick Sam and Colby they ask how much they would sell their channel for.

The duo continue to air their uncertainty with Graham and Jack’s claims before the hosts confess that they were joking. Really, if the clip shared online had been 10 seconds longer, viewers would’ve known that it wasn’t real and was part of a prank.
“The replies under the original tweet quickly turned sour after MrBeast set the record straight.”
