Greenville, NC, resident and internet mega-star MrBeast is considering joining the legion of billionaires in college football.
MrBeast, a short-time East Carolina University student (he attended school for two weeks before dropping out to pursue YouTube), has a philanthropic theme to his content and floated a wild idea on his Instagram account.
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that the local college football could be worth the investment for MrBeast (real name: Jimmy Donaldson), a YouTube star who has an estimated net worth of $2.6 billion.
Mark Cuban, who invested these past two seasons in Indiana, has already witnessed a national championship with an unlikely, underdog school.
Phil Knight, founder of Nike, is so involved in Oregon that the school is sometimes referred to as the “University of Nike.”
East Carolina fans are hoping they can be the next Indiana.
