After dominating the football pitch for years, Cristiano Ronaldo now aims to dominate the world of content creators as he is aiming to dethrone Jimmy Donaldson's, aka "Mr Beast", title of most subscribed channel on global video-sharing platform, reported News18.

Speaking to reporters during a media talk ahead of Portugal’s Nations League fixture against Croatia, Ronaldo said: "Mr Beast on YouTube? In two years, let's try to beat him."

Mr Beast has about 313 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, whereas star footballer boasts 55.9 million subscribers which he gained in less than a month after launching his YouTube channel in August.

 

It is to be noted that the Portuguese footballer's YouTube channel "UR · Cristiano" had garnered 1.69 million subscribers within hours and the 39-year-old soon received the gold Play Button only a day after launching the channel.

He is also the fastest person to reach one million subscribers on the world's largest video-sharing platform.

The achievement has been recognised by the Guinness World Records (GWR) which has acknowledged Al Nassr star's YouTube channel as one with the most subscribers gained in 24 hours.

According to WikiTubia, a site specialising in YouTube records, Ronaldo's channel reached 100,000 subscribers in 22 minutes, one million subscribers in 47 minutes, and 10 million subscribers in 11 hours and 31 minutes.

With being one of the most followed individuals on the planet across various platforms, it would be interesting to see whether the Portuguese footballer — one of the most followed individuals on the planet across various platforms — is able to surpass Mr Beast on YouTube.
