TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025: Beast Industries

What is the value of a company that can deliver billions of fans, most of them teenagers? That's the question posed by Beast Industries. Because MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, the 27-year-old king of YouTube, makes videos that are so popular and expensive—the big ones cost an average of $3.5 million, he says—advertising alone can't pay for them, so he created Beast Industries in 2021. Last year Donaldson expanded into the streaming world, executive producing Beast Games for Amazon Prime Video, which became the most-viewed unscripted series in the platform's history after debuting in December. Having raised close to half a billion dollars from investors, Beast Industries can expand the products marketed on MrBeast media channels. The most profitable is Feastables, a line of chocolate, but the company also distributes a packaged lunch through Target and owns a creator-friendly software company. So far, Beast Industries still doesn't make enough to fully cover the cost of the videos—but it's getting closer. Eventually, Donaldson told TIME last year, the company will 'only promot[e] things we own.'

But, in recent years, the retail giant has expanded its offerings to tried-and-true brands like Levi's, Kendra Scott, BaubleBar (aka SUGARFIX by BaubleBar), and Blogilates (which includes some cute Popflex-inspired designs)—and its most recent launch might be the best one yet. All of the Champion Target Collection Deets The Target Champion collection finally drops on Sunday, August 3, 2025, and includes classic and retro-inspired pieces for women, men, and kids. Plus, you can also snag some cute unisex accessories (like the Champion Method Sling Handbag) and Champion-branded sporting goods, including basketballs and chug water bottles. Oh, and most of the pieces in the collection are under $40 (we know, we know). In addition to the August 3 drop, Target will release a limited-time-only Champion collection in September, inspired by the brand's coveted archival designs. Spoiler alert: It's all about that varsity aesthetic and includes some of the best athleisure ever.

The collection preview is already live, allowing you to save your selections (psst: we recommend doing so with this browser extension), so all you have to do is click add to cart as soon as the clock strikes midnight on August 3.
