MrBeast has passed PewDiePie as the most subscribed channel on YouTube

According to the LADbible, in a 2018 video titled 'How I Gave Away $1,000,000', MrBeast explained to his followers how he accumulated such wealth through the platform, adding that companies helped him to donate money.

During an episode Full Send Podcast, MrBeast further elaborated on his money-making formula.

Back when MrBeast was just starting to get a significant number of subscribers on YouTube, he would receive brand deals as a reward. 

He's also in the restaurant business, having opened a virtual (delivery-only) concept, MrBeast Burger, in late 2020.

Well, folks, the seemingly impossible has been done. After a little more than a decade of content creation, Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg is no longer the most-subscribed YouTuber on Google’s video-sharing platform. That title belongs to Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, who passed PewDiePie by a few thousand more subscribers. Cue the confetti and fireworks, or whatever you use to celebrate.

PewDiePie started his channel in April 2010, uploading Let’s Play videos on action and horror games like Frictional Games’ Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us. He quickly rose to prominence off the back of his content, becoming the most-subscribed individual YouTuber on the platform in August 2013. The Verge dubbed PewDiePie the King of YouTube in 2014 and since then, he’s gone on to amass some 111 million subscribers while expanding his uploads to include commentary and vlogs alongside his Let’s Plays. Though that’s an impressive number to achieve for any one person, MrBeast swiftly sped past PewDiePie’s subscriber count on November 14.

As spotted by the esports and influencer site Dexerto, MrBeast now also has 111 million subscribers. But as you can see in the video above, MrBeast eclipsed PewDiePie’s incredible number by just a few thousand more, topping out at roughly 111,847,586 subscribers versus PewDiePie’s approximately 111,846,073.

MrBeast dethroning the OG King of YouTube makes sense when you think about his content in relation to PewDiePie’s. PewDiePie has been a controversial figure in the past—like that one time in January 2017 when he asked performers to display a banner allegedly calling for “death to all Jews”. He also used to joke about rape and has used racist language against Black folks in his videos, though he has since apologized for this egregious behavior.
