The world’s biggest YouTuber MrBeast ties the knot on private island

Wednesday, 22 July 2026

MrBeast, the world’s most subscribed to YouTuber, has tied the knot.

Jimmy Donaldson, 28, married his long-term partner and fellow content creator Thea Booyson, 28, during an intimate wedding at Richard Branson’s Necker Island, People reports.

The creator with over 500 million subscribers on YouTube announced the news on social media, saying he “found MrsBeast.”

“And it was the best day of my life,” he said.

The wedding took place over the course of a week, the outlet reported, kicking off on July 14. The pair wed surrounded by 70 of their close friends and family.

The newly weds told People their wedding couldn’t have been more perfect.

“This is cliché, but it was heaven,” Booysen said.

“We were so happy, and there was so much love. We work a lot and don’t get to be around all our friends and family, so to have everyone in one place was really special,” she said.

Wagyu beef, sushi and carrot cake were all treats during the wedding reception, the outlet said.

The 74 acre private island they married on had activities like kitesurfing, snorkling and feeding flamingos and lemurs that live on the island.

Just like you’d expect from a couple of their stature, Booyson wore a gown from Nicole + Felicia Couture, and Donaldson wore a tux by Ralph Lauren.

MrBeast rose to fame over the course of 14 years, making videos giving away large sums of money for challenges such as being chained to a stranger for 30 days.

He also creates survival videos, pushing him and his friends into extreme circumstances like spending seven days stranded in the Arctic.

Donaldson has amassed over 134 billion views on his main YouTube channel.
