MrBeast signs multi-year deal to promote Google Gemini and Google Health

In short: YouTuber MrBeast has a multi-year partnership with Google to feature Gemini, Google Health, and the Fitbit Air in his videos.

What happened

Google and Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson have announced a multi-year promotional deal. MrBeast is one of the biggest creators on YouTube.

The partnership starts on September 5 with a new MrBeast video focused on wilderness survival. In the video, Donaldson and his team will try to get through dangerous environments, including the jungle, the desert, and the Arctic. Google says they will use Gemini for help spotting dangers, handling sudden weather changes, and making decisions.

Gemini is Google’s AI assistant, meaning it is software you can ask questions and get answers back (like a very fast helper that reads and summarizes information for you). Google also said Donaldson will use a Fitbit Air in one of his upcoming challenges. Fitbit is a Google-owned brand known for wearable health trackers, and Google says MrBeast will appear in a broader Gemini marketing campaign as well.

The announcement comes shortly after MrBeast’s channel became the first on YouTube to reach 500 million subscribers, according to earlier reporting. It also lands at a time when big online creators are getting more business offers, including deals that keep their videos tied to one platform.

Why it matters

For regular viewers, this is a sign that AI tools and health tracking products will show up more often inside popular entertainment, not just in ads. It may also shape how people learn about tools like AI assistants, since many will first see them used in a high-stakes, story-driven setting (like watching someone use a guidebook during a camping trip).
