Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo aims to surpass MrBeast's YouTube subscribers
What's the story
Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned Portuguese footballer, has set a new goal off the field. He aims to surpass American YouTuber MrBeast in terms of YouTube subscribers.
Ronaldo revealed the same during a UEFA Nations League press conference. He expressed his aspiration to outdo MrBeast's impressive subscriber count within two years.
In August, Ronaldo's newly-launched YouTube channel quickly gained an impressive 50 million subscribers, demonstrating his widespread appeal beyond the football field.
Rapid growth
Ronaldo's YouTube channel gains rapid popularity
Ronaldo's YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, has quickly gained popularity since its launch last month.
The channel racked up a million subscribers within two hours of its debut and crossed the 50-million mark in less than a week.
Despite this rapid growth, Ronaldo still trails MrBeast, who currently holds the title of most-subscribed creator on YouTube with a staggering 313 million subscribers.
Subscriber race
Ronaldo's channel growth outpaces MrBeast's initial progress
It is worth noting that Ronaldo's YouTube channel growth has been significantly faster than that of MrBeast.
Ronaldo took a solitary day to reach 20 million subscribers, a milestone that took MrBeast 28 days to achieve.
Despite the competition, Ronaldo remains confident about his channel's growth and its potential to eventually surpass MrBeast in the subscriber race.
