The social media star declared that he had avenged fellow content creator Pewdiepie

MrBeast, that long-lasting denizen of YouTube whose stunts such as giving away private islands have shot him to virality, has dethroned the Indian music channel T-series to become the most subscribed YouTuber online, reported BBC.

At the relatively young age of 26, MrBeast, whose real name is Jim Donaldson, can now boast a whopping 269 million subscribers to his name. The feat, aided by an unusually large spike in subscribers on Saturday numbering roughly 2 million, led him to overtake the 266 million subscribers held by T-series. MrBeast typically averages 250,000 new subscribers every single day.
