Mr. Beast Outperforms PewDiePie as The Most Subscribed in Channel on YouTube

After years of having the most subscribed channel on Youtube, PewDiePie has been dethroned. Mr. Beast, the elaborate stunt Youtuber and businessman has become the most subscribed channel on Youtube after rising to popularity in 2017.

Mr. Beast, known in real life as Jimmy Donaldson, started his channel at 13 in 2012. After his video of him counting to 100,000 went viral, Donaldson has gradually rose in popularity, orchestrating more and more elaborate stunts. Last year, he recreated the popular Netflix series “Squid Game” as a non-violent competition for an 456,000 prize on his channel.

PewDiePie originally became the most subscribed channel on Youtube back in 2013. He was the first individual Youtube creator to have a channel with over 100 million subscribers. Mr.Beast became the 2nd back in July. He celebrated the milestone on Twitch.
