Historic Moment: MrBeast Becomes First YouTuber To Achieve 300 Million Subs

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson has achieved a milestone as the first YouTuber to reach 300 million subscribers, barely a month after overtaking the Indian music label T-Series to become the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, as of July 10, 2024.

T-Series surpassed Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie to reach the 200 million subscriber milestone.

On June 1, MrBeast overtook T-Series, becoming the most-subscribed YouTube channel. His subscriber count has been rapidly increasing ever since.

Donaldson posted a screenshot of his follower count on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “I remember freaking out when I hit 300 subscribers 11 years ago.. lol.”

MrBeast’s fans filled Jimmy’s comment section with congratulations and well wishes

“Today, I will bless 50 lucky winners, tell me how much do you need, maximum is $500,000,” one use wrote.

Another said, “You’re a real pirate, you never gave up and you kept smashing hard. A true example of what dedication and consistency can lead to.”

“That’s life. It is an incredible reminder that nothing is impossible!,” an Elon Musk satire page joined in.

“Congratulations, MrBeast. Nobody deserves it more than you,” one user posted.

One heartwarming comment was from a user called BatMan: “You should be given a noble prize on these 4 things .. thankyou Mr Beast ,” to which Jimmy responded, “Check out the Beast Philanthropy channel, we’ve done this stuff way more than 4 times haha.”

Before reaching the 300 million mark, MrBeast recently gained attention by stating he would run for the US presidency if they “lower the age to run.”

“If we lower the age to run for president I’ll jump in the race,” he posted.

“If I were president I wouldn’t care about party lines, I’d just always truly make the American people my #1 priority. For problems I’m ignorant in I’d have experts from the left and right advise me on them and try to find the middle ground that’s best for America.”
