MrBeast, the YouTube juggernaut, has become the first content creator to reach 400 million subscribers, cementing his place as the platform’s most-subscribed channel. 

Surpassing T-Series by over 100 million subscribers, Jimmy Donaldson—known as MrBeast achieved this milestone on 2 June, 2025, following his 2024 overtake of the former leader.

Starting in 2012 with gaming videos, MrBeast’s rise to fame came through viral stunts, extravagant giveaways, and relentless dedication. 

His larger-than-life content, from burying himself alive to giving away millions, captivated a global audience. 

“Obsession, passion, and persistence” drove his journey, as he once told his mother he’d rather be homeless than quit YouTube. 

Now a self-made billionaire, MrBeast shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to redefine digital entertainment and inspire creators worldwide.
