MrBeast – also known as Jimmy Donaldson – has officially become the top subscribed YouTuber on the platform.
The 26-year-old content creator marked this significant milestone on June 2 with a celebratory post across his social media platforms.
MrBeast’s YouTube channel now has over 268 million subscribers, a new record in online entertainment. Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, has gained a huge following with his exciting challenges and generous acts.
Taking to his X account, formerly known as Twitter, MrBeast shared his excitement, stating, “After 6 years we have finally avenged PewDiePie.” This remark referred to the renowned Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie, who had previously engaged in a subscriber war with T-Series but was unable to surpass the Indian music channel to become the most-subscribed YouTube channel.
In a recent talk with Jon Youshaei, MrBeast talked about how he supported PewDiePie during his competition with T-Series. He mentioned that the rivalry got intense and even somewhat racist, though he didn’t think PewDiePie intended it that way. Because of this, he’s now very aware of such issues and is careful not to promote that kind of behavior.
MrBeast expressed his true love for making videos, saying, “I just want to have the most subscribers. Yes, I have a lot of help, but I started this channel. This is my life and passion. I am a creator.”
