Yes. This has been occurring across the board on YouTube. Huge channels that you've definitely heard of are 100% PE owned, even if the creator stays on the staff. Usually, it's a 51-49 split, though. Of course, the PE firm gets its say in the topics the creator covers and, most importantly, the topics the creator does not cover.

right, because at first the PE firms got greedy. 100% ownership means no recourse when the creators burn out. 51-49 ownership incentivizes the creators to make it work until it inevitably doesn't.

did he sell his podcast to private equity

No, Caleb Hammer has not sold his podcast to private equity.The confusion likely stems from a few different announcements and business deals he has discussed publicly:

The MrBeast Equity Deal: Caleb previously revealed that early in his channel's journey, he sold a 10% equity stake in his channel to superstar creator Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson for $25,000 to help him transition to full-time content creation. Because his channel grew so rapidly, he openly expressed regret over giving away that much monthly revenue. However, he exercised a contractually included buyback clause to repurchase his 10% and regain 100% independent ownership of Financial Audit.

Signing with CAA: In late 2025, Caleb signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA). While some fans online mistakenly confused this with a private equity buyout, CAA is a traditional Hollywood talent agency representing him to help secure mainstream entertainment, media, and licensing deals—not an acquisition firm.

Personal PE Capital Calls: On social media and podcast appearances, Caleb has discussed moving millions of dollars of his personal cash into private equity funds. Listeners hearing him talk about making "capital calls" or transferring vast sums of money to private equity firms may have mistaken it for him selling his own media empire.

Would you like more details on how Caleb's channel is structured or how he ultimately bought back his shares from MrBeast?

now do the company that owns Financial Audit. it's "100% independent ownership" by "his" company, which is owned by PE.

you'll also never find definitive proof confirming or refuting this because its confidentiality is secured by a presumably airtight NDA.

but that's the problem. all of these content creators portray themselves as "aw shucks" types-- small-time, self-funded, and most importantly, independent. Couple that with the fact that distrust of politicians and legacy media outlets has caused many to rely on "trusted" YouTubers with large communities of like-minded fans instead. Now those YouTubers are in bed with the same force that caused our distrust of politicians and legacy media.

it's just a different translation of the same story.
