MrBeast, the popular comedian and stuntman, has officially surpassed T-Series to become the most subscribed YouTube channel, amassing 269 million subscribers.
For five years, Indian music label T-Series held the top spot, sharing music videos and trailers. However, on Sunday, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, overtook them in this long-running subscriber battle.

Known for his extravagant stunts and generous giveaways, MrBeast has captivated audiences with nearly 800 videos, including challenges like giving away private islands, being buried alive, and recreating Netflix’s Squid Game.
In a celebratory post on X (formerly Twitter), MrBeast claimed he had “avenged” YouTube star PewDiePie, who had previously competed with T-Series for the top spot. He also shared that his channel experienced its largest daily subscriber spike, gaining over 2 million new subscribers on Saturday.
Beyond his main channel, MrBeast runs several other popular channels focused on gaming, philanthropy, and reaction content, each with tens of millions of subscribers. His channel description humorously advises viewers not to email him asking for money, emphasizing that he gives away money because it brings him joy.
MrBeast’s philanthropic efforts are well-documented, with one April video featuring a $250,000 giveaway. Forbes estimated his net worth to be around $500 million in 2022 and ranked him first on its list of the top 50 creators in 2023.
MrBeast’s rise to the top of YouTube showcases the power of creative content and genuine engagement with audiences.
