TikTok is one of the world's most popular social media apps, but it could soon be banned in the US if the app is not sold by Chinese-based parent company ByteDance.

And now, Amazon has slid into the TikTok chat. The company submitted a bid to buy the social media video app, the New York Times first reported Wednesday. The TikTok ban, originally set to take effect on January 19, is set to go into effect Saturday.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January that gave TikTok 75 days to find a buyer for the app before it is banned for good in the USA. The search is now for a new owner for the social media app, though ByteDance must still be convinced to sell the app. If it’s open to a sale, there are some big names lined up to make the purchase.

Trump is also free to extend the time period.

With the sale of TikTok looming, veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson of Bookies.com has put together hypothetical odds of who could be the next TikTok owner. Next TikTok Owner Odds

Contending Owners

Frank McCourt/Kevin O’Leary Group (+500)

Frank McCourt is the former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Kevin O’Leary is one of the stars of ABC’s Shark Tank. The two businessmen could join forces to purchase TikTok given how much financial backing the two have combined, plus other investors they can pull in as part of Project Liberty.

Jesse Tinsley/Mr. Beast Group (+450)

Jimmy Donaldson, aka Mr. Beast, is the most popular YouTuber in the world and has recently joined up with Jesse Tinsley, the founder of the online HR company employer.com, to make a bid for TikTok. Given how much Mr. Beast has about social media, he would be the perfect brand ambassador for TikTok.

Blackstone (+600)

The massive investment company could be the ultimate backstop in case other preferred buyers fail to come through. 

Larry Ellison/Oracle (+600)

Larry Ellison is the CTO of Oracle, which manages the servers for TikTok’s US users. This week, President Trump said he would be open to Ellison owning TikTok. Ellison is the fourth richest person in the world, so money would not be an object for him in acquiring TikTok.

Perplexity AI Group (+750)

This AI company could be a partner to a new owner in terms of developing TikTok to be more fully adaptive to AI. 

Amazon (+750)

Jeff Bezos has been playing nice with the Trump Administration even before Trump returned to office. Amazon clearly has the deepest pockets of any potential buyer. And it would fit nicely with both Trump's concerns that it stay away from foreign ownership. For Amazon, the data available on TikTok's young users could prove to be invaluable. 

Zoop/Tim Stokley/OnlyFans Group (+1000)

OnlyFans is tremendously profitable for some who post on the platform. But its reach is clearly limited. TikTok offers a wider audience.  

Microsoft (+1200)

Microsoft is one of the biggest technology companies in the world, so it only makes sense that it would consider making a bid to purchase TikTok and add it to its giant tech portfolio.

Walmart (+1500)

The retailer's interest likely drew Amazon into this fight. Both would covet the immense amount of data available for younger users - and the direct-to-consumer possibilities with TikTok's massive audience.
