Can Cristiano Ronaldo become the owner of the most subscribed YouTube channel?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel currently stands at 23 million subscribers and has posted19 videos (including YouTube shorts) at the time of writing.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner made history by becoming the fastest channel to reach one million and 10 million subscribers on YouTube. Thus, fans are wondering whether he can become the highest-subscribed channel on the platform.
The title currently resides with Mr. Beast, who has 311 million subscribers to his name. The channel is run by the American YouTuber James Stephen ‘Jimmy’ Donaldson, who is also the third most followed personality on TikTok (103 million followers).
Mr. Beast is known for creating videos with high-production value and lucrative cash rewards. They feature elaborate challenges and bring people from across the world to participate. He is also known for his philanthropic endeavors and often donates generous amounts in his videos.
Cristiano Ronaldo gained around 15 million followers in one day. At this rate, it would take him just 21 days to surpass Mr. Beast. Many YouTubers have even started live-streaming the subscriber counts of both YouTube channels to keep track of a potential dethrone in the future.
