YouTube genius and 21st century philanthropist Jimmy Donaldson, otherwise known as MrBeast, has surpassed Felix Kjellberg, known as Pewdiepie, as the most-subscribed YouTube creator ever. According to Dexerto, Donaldson sailed past Kjellberg's 111,846,079 subscribers just after 4 p.m. EST on Nov. 14.

It's the end of Kjellberg's incredible, unmatched dominance on the platform. Despite a history of public admonishments from both YouTube and the media over the use of racist language and antisemitic jokes, Kjellberg has been the most-subscribed creator on YouTube since August 2013. He was the most subscribed channel on YouTube until 2018, when Bollywood production behemoth T-Series surpassed him.

Donaldson and Kjellberg have been contemporaries and friends for several years. In 2018, Donaldson poured thousands of dollars into a marketing blitz in support of the \"subscribe to Pewdiepie\" campaign, a highly publicized run off between Kjellberg and T-Series for the title of top-subscribed channel on YouTube.

\n\n

T-Series's triumph signaled a sea change for YouTube as individual and independent creators were dwarfed by brands. A handful of brands, including T-Series at 229 million and kids channel Cocomelon at 147 million, now have more subscribers than Donaldson and Kjellberg.

In recent years, Donaldson's MrBeast channel has seen explosive growth, thanks to his obsessive optimization of YouTube's algorithm, philanthropic approach to viral content, and gamified video concepts. He has also opened a successful global ghost kitchen burger brand and snack line, all while making millions that he claims to reinvest in his channel.

Kjellberg began as a gaming creator, posting \"let's play\" videos that documented both his gameplay and his reactions. His sense of humor and outsized physical responses to losses and jump scares grew him a loyal following he referred to as his \"bros.\" Kjellberg has since backed away from gaming and leaned into commentary and comedy. In the past two years, he has committed to posting more unstructured content, like vlogs, and has called the period his \"retirement.\"

In a video from August, a viewer asked Kjellberg if he thought that Donaldson would surpass his subscriber count. Kjellberg smiled. \"He definitely will. Come on, I've been retired for two years now. I can't wait for it to be over,\" he admitted, \"He definitely deserves it, I hope he does it.\"

Jimmy Donaldson (USA) has officially broken the record for the most subscribers for an individual male on YouTube with his channel Mr Beast, which has amassed an unbelievable 112,193,139 subs, as verified on 17 November 2022.\u00a0

He has surpassed the previous record held by PewDiePie, aka Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (Sweden). The two were neck and neck in the subscriber race, but Mr Beast pulled past PewDiePie to reach the never-before-hit milestone (for an individual) of 112 million.\u00a0

Donaldson also has four other channels, all of which have over 10 million subscribers. His MrBeast Gaming channel is the second-largest with 29.5 million subs.

Donaldson joined the platform in 2012 and since then has clocked up 18.5 billion views on his videos.\u00a0

His most popular upload to date is a "Squid Game in real life" video, were he flew 456 people out to a private island for a series of increasingly difficult challenges. The pay off? A cash prize of $456,000 USD for the winner and 304 million views.\u00a0

Mr Beast is known for his generosity when it comes to his subscribers, frequently gifting huge monetary prizes or once-in-a-life time experiences to random fans. This has most likely aided his rapid growth on the platform \u2013 in the last 30 days alone he has gained 6 million subscribers, an incredible 200% increase.\u00a0

He frequently organizes charitable giveaways and donations too through his charity Mr Beast Philanthropy, whose dedicated YouTube channel has over 10 million subscribers.\u00a0

One of his most epic undertakings was raising $20 million dollars to plant 20 million trees, a feat he achieved in partnership with fellow record breaker Mark Rober.\u00a0

\"Mr

Mr Beast\u2019s content on the platform ranges from ultra-swanky, such as staying in $1 million dollar a night accommodation or giving away a $2.5 million dollar private jet, to the more peculiar or mundane, such as reading the entire Bee Movie script or, quite literally, watching paint dry.\u00a0

Before Mr Beast, PewDiePie had been the most subscribed to individual on YouTube for close to a decade.\u00a0

It was also the most subscribed to channel of all time - but that changed in late 2018 when Indian music channel T-series began closing in.\u00a0

This sparked an intense competition for the top spot in 2019. Calls to action were issued by impassioned fans and other creators who were desperate to see him retain pole position on the platform, which resulted in PewDiePie accumulating millions of subscribers in a groundswell of support.

One of PewDiePie\u2019s key supporters in the race was, ironically, Mr Beast, who canvassed his fans (and Super Bowl LIII viewers) and drove huge numbers of subscribers to PewDiePie\u2019s channel.

Ultimately, T-series came out on top and became the first YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers and now holds the overall record for the most subscribers on YouTube with a staggering 229 million.\u00a0

PewDiePie was, however, the first individual YouTuber to reach this milestone. He also still retains the record title for the most subscribers for a gaming channel on YouTube.

All top three spots for the most subscribed channels are now occupied by brands or companies, much to the displeasure of many fans who believe the platform is becoming increasingly hostile to individual creators.\u00a0

However, both Mr Beast and PewDiePie still retain positions in the top five.

With his recent meteoric rise on the platform, some predict Mr Beast will very shortly put even more space between his channel and PewDiePie\u2019s \u2013 though it still remains to be seen if he will ever be able to dethrone T-series for the ultimate top spot.\u00a0

Jimmy Donaldson (USA) has officially broken the record for the most subscribers for an individual male on YouTube with his channel Mr Beast, which has amassed an unbelievable 112,193,139 subs, as verified on 17 November 2022.\u00a0

He has surpassed the previous record held by PewDiePie, aka Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg (Sweden). The two were neck and neck in the subscriber race, but Mr Beast pulled past PewDiePie to reach the never-before-hit milestone (for an individual) of 112 million.\u00a0

Donaldson also has four other channels, all of which have over 10 million subscribers. His MrBeast Gaming channel is the second-largest with 29.5 million subs.

Donaldson joined the platform in 2012 and since then has clocked up 18.5 billion views on his videos.\u00a0

His most popular upload to date is a "Squid Game in real life" video, were he flew 456 people out to a private island for a series of increasingly difficult challenges. The pay off? A cash prize of $456,000 USD for the winner and 304 million views.\u00a0

Mr Beast is known for his generosity when it comes to his subscribers, frequently gifting huge monetary prizes or once-in-a-life time experiences to random fans. This has most likely aided his rapid growth on the platform \u2013 in the last 30 days alone he has gained 6 million subscribers, an incredible 200% increase.\u00a0

He frequently organizes charitable giveaways and donations too through his charity Mr Beast Philanthropy, whose dedicated YouTube channel has over 10 million subscribers.\u00a0

One of his most epic undertakings was raising $20 million dollars to plant 20 million trees, a feat he achieved in partnership with fellow record breaker Mark Rober.\u00a0

\"Mr

Mr Beast\u2019s content on the platform ranges from ultra-swanky, such as staying in $1 million dollar a night accommodation or giving away a $2.5 million dollar private jet, to the more peculiar or mundane, such as reading the entire Bee Movie script or, quite literally, watching paint dry.\u00a0

Before Mr Beast, PewDiePie had been the most subscribed to individual on YouTube for close to a decade.\u00a0

It was also the most subscribed to channel of all time - but that changed in late 2018 when Indian music channel T-series began closing in.\u00a0

This sparked an intense competition for the top spot in 2019. Calls to action were issued by impassioned fans and other creators who were desperate to see him retain pole position on the platform, which resulted in PewDiePie accumulating millions of subscribers in a groundswell of support.

One of PewDiePie\u2019s key supporters in the race was, ironically, Mr Beast, who canvassed his fans (and Super Bowl LIII viewers) and drove huge numbers of subscribers to PewDiePie\u2019s channel.

Ultimately, T-series came out on top and became the first YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers and now holds the overall record for the most subscribers on YouTube with a staggering 229 million.\u00a0

PewDiePie was, however, the first individual YouTuber to reach this milestone. He also still retains the record title for the most subscribers for a gaming channel on YouTube.

All top three spots for the most subscribed channels are now occupied by brands or companies, much to the displeasure of many fans who believe the platform is becoming increasingly hostile to individual creators.\u00a0

However, both Mr Beast and PewDiePie still retain positions in the top five.

With his recent meteoric rise on the platform, some predict Mr Beast will very shortly put even more space between his channel and PewDiePie\u2019s \u2013 though it still remains to be seen if he will ever be able to dethrone T-series for the ultimate top spot.\u00a0
