MrBeast has shattered yet another YouTube record
When you think of YouTube, a lot of people’s attentions immediately turn to MrBeast. The two really do go hand in hand.
Whether he’s making fans think of him as a real-life Jigsaw or breaking internet records, MrBeast is always making headlines.
Now, the YouTuber – whose real name is real name Jimmy Donaldson – has shattered his daily subscriber record.
In fact, MrBeast’s channel has surpassed T-Series to become the most subscribed channel on YouTube.

The content creator surpassed the Indian record label on Saturday (1 June), with the man himself revealing a personal record that was also broken on that day.
Taking to X, MrBeast revealed he gained the most subscribers he’s ever had in a single day, as he also broke the YouTube record.
Sharing a screenshot of his stats, MrBeast gained a whopping 2.1 million subscribers in just a 24-hours period.
“Yesterday was the most subscribers we’ve ever gotten in a day,” the YouTuber wrote.
Typically, the 26-year-old averages 250,000 new subscribers every single day.
While MrBeast hasn’t broken the record for most subscribers gained in a single day on YouTube, he does lay claim to several records.
For example, Donaldson holds the record for the most subscribers gained in a week, month and year.
And with the money MrBeast splashes on each video, it’s a good job he’s on top of the YouTube tree.
Speaking at a podcast event with the All-In Podcast, he confirmed that each video costs around the same as making an independent film.
When asked what the budget was for each video, MrBeast replied: “I think now it is around $2.5 million each video.”
“I don’t think it’s that crazy though,” he continued.
“Because then they’re getting a hundred million views in seven days.
“So, in any other media, outside of social media, that got that kind of viewership their budget would be like 50 times that.”

Certainly a lot of dollar, but the content creator definitely reaps the rewards.
He explained that he brings in about $600 million to $700 million a year but despite this massive amount, still doesn’t consider himself rich.
“I mean, not right now,” he said.
“I’m not naive; maybe one day.
“Each video does a couple million in ad revenue, a couple million in brand deals.”
He added: “I’ve reinvested everything to the point of—you could claim—stupidity, just believing that we would succeed. And it’s worked out.”
