MrBeast Overtakes T-Series to Become Most Subscribed YouTuber

Jimmy Donaldson, widely known as MrBeast, has now become the most subscribed YouTuber, surpassing the music company T-Series. The American YouTuber announced this milestone on Sunday via X (formerly Twitter). In his post, MrBeast declared that he has “avenged” Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie and shared a picture displaying the latest subscription figures.

MrBeast’s YouTube channel has amassed 267 million subscribers, while T-Series has 266 million followers.

“After 6 years we have finally avenged Pewdiepie,” read the note attached to his post. For context, MrBeast had previously expressed his support for PewDiePie, stating last year, “I’m doing this for Pewdiepie.”

Among the first to congratulate MrBeast was Tesla chief Elon Musk, who wrote, “Wow, congrats!” A user commented, “I’m literally shaking and crying right now I can’t believe we finally did it.”

In a bold move last month, MrBeast challenged the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match. This challenge came at a time when T-Series was the most subscribed YouTube channel and MrBeast was rapidly closing the gap. Sharing a picture of the subscriber count on X, the 26-year-old wrote, “I challenge the CEO of T-Series to a boxing match.” Bhushan Kumar is the Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series, though the CEO’s name is not listed on the company’s official website.

The rivalry between PewDiePie and T-Series is well-known. Swedish YouTube star PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, was once the highest-earning YouTuber, famous for his video game commentaries. He had surpassed T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTuber at one point.

However, things took a downturn in 2017 when Disney severed ties with PewDiePie after discovering Nazi references in some of his videos. In 2020, PewDiePie announced a hiatus from posting content on YouTube, having amassed 102 million subscribers at the time.
