When it comes to YouTube today, MrBeast is clearly the biggest name, overtaking PewDiePie who held that spot for years. Not only did he hit the impressive milestone of 100 million subscribers, but he also became the individual YouTuber with the most subscribers ever. And that’s not all he’s achieved.
Recently, he smashed another long-standing YouTube record for the fastest subscriber growth in a single week. According to PwnyGaming, a channel that tracks and analyzes YouTube stats, MrBeast gained 3,188,959 new subscribers just between December 12 and 18. That’s an incredible number, perfectly matching the huge investments he puts into creating and developing exciting content on his channel.
Since launching, MrBeast has never stopped surprising viewers, participants, and himself. Known as the richest YouTuber in the world, he regularly creates fun challenges and games with huge prizes for those involved. For example, not long ago he recreated his own version of Squid Game with 456 players and a total prize of $456,000. More recently, he teamed up with Epic Games to host an esports event with a $1 million prize for the winner.
Beyond YouTube, MrBeast is showing interest in diving deeper into the esports world by hinting at plans to buy a North American League of Legends team. If that happens, it would be an exciting surprise for his fans to look forward to in 2023.
