Cristiano Ronaldo aims to dethrone MrBeast to become the most subscribed individual on YouTube

"My kids joke that I've become a YouTuber... And yes, I want to beat MrBeast," Ronaldo shares as his subscribers soar.

Cristiano Ronaldo, renowned for his relentless determination on the football field, is now applying that same drive to conquer the digital world. 

The Portuguese football legend has revealed his latest ambition: to become the most subscribed individual on YouTube, a title currently held by MrBeast, who boasts an impressive 313 million subscribers.

Ronaldo's YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, has already made a massive impact. Within just 12 hours of its launch on July 8, 2024, the channel reached 10 million subscribers, shattering MrBeast's previous record of 132 days to achieve the same milestone.

This rapid success underscores Ronaldo's vast global influence, both on and off the pitch.

As of September 3, Ronaldo's channel has soared to 55.9 million subscribers, placing him in close competition with major YouTube figures like Taylor Swift (59 million) and Justin Bieber (73 million). 

For context, even Lionel Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever, has only 2.7 million subscribers, highlighting Ronaldo's unprecedented impact in the digital space.

"My kids joke that I've become a YouTuber, but my real goal is to connect more closely with my fans. And yes, I want to beat MrBeast," Ronaldo humorously shared in a recent interview.

His journey to the top of YouTube is just beginning, but with his competitive spirit and enormous fanbase, Ronaldo is poised to give MrBeast and other top creators a serious challenge. 

Whether on the field or online, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove that his ambition knows no bounds.
