MrBeast Achieves Record Growth as YouTube’s Fastest-Growing Channel of 2024 with Incredible Statistics

In 2024, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson solidified his position as YouTube’s fastest-growing channel, amassing an impressive surge in subscribers.

Over recent years, MrBeast has transformed from a popular YouTuber into a cultural phenomenon, achieving a plethora of remarkable milestones along his journey.

Known for his extravagant videos filled with thrilling challenges and substantial rewards for friends, fellow creators, or his audience, Donaldson has surpassed PewDiePie to become the largest solo channel on the platform. Remarkably, he has even launched his own TV series, ‘Beast Games.’

2024 Subscriber Milestone: 115 Million New Followers

Entering 2024 with over 225 million subscribers, MrBeast achieved an astounding growth of 115 million new followers by year-end. This dramatic increase brought his total subscriber count to an impressive 340 million, earning him the esteemed title of the year’s fastest-growing channel.

Interestingly, comments highlighted the remarkable growth of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom MrBeast collaborated several times in 2024. However, Ronaldo gained only 60 million subscribers during the same timeframe. Having joined YouTube midway through the year, one wonders how his numbers would compare if he had the full year.

As viewers look ahead, 2025 promises to be a competitive year for both icons. Nonetheless, the journey has not been without its obstacles for MrBeast. The creator faced various allegations regarding the treatment of employees and participants in his videos, alongside challenges from an upcoming video concerning private jet pilots remaining on a plane for over 100 days.
