YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, is launching a new game show called 'Beast Games' on Amazon's Prime Video. The reality competition will feature 1,000 contestants and a $5 million prize, spanning 10 episodes. This move could boost Amazon's stock, already up significantly this year, and benefit investor David Tepper, for whom Amazon is a major holding. MrBeast chose Amazon for its creative control, and the show debuts ahead of Netflix's 'Squid Games 2', highlighting streaming competition.
