The legendary five-time Ballon d’Or winner and global soccer sensation, Cristiano Ronaldo Beats MrBeast, shattering records yet again by becoming the fastest person to reach 20 million subscribers on YouTube. The Portuguese superstar achieved this milestone in just over 24 hours, outpacing the previous record set by YouTuber MrBeast, who took over two years to hit the same mark.
At 39, Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel “UR” on Wednesday, instantly drawing in more than one million Youtube subscribers within the first 90 minutes. The channel is set to offer fans exclusive insights into Ronaldo’s greatest passion—soccer—as well as a behind-the-scenes look at his life off the pitch, including his interests in family, wellness, nutrition, and business ventures. Ronaldo also plans to engage in conversations with a variety of guests on the channel.
Expressing his excitement, Ronaldo shared, “I am thrilled to bring this project to life. It’s something I’ve envisioned for a long time, and now we have the opportunity to make it a reality. I’ve always valued my strong connection with fans on social media, and my YouTube channel will provide an even bigger platform to share more about myself, my family, and my perspectives on various topics.”
Ronaldo’s rapid success on YouTube is no surprise, considering his unparalleled social media presence, with a staggering 917 million followers across all platforms. The launch of his YouTube channel marks another milestone in his illustrious career, which spans over two decades and includes playing for iconic clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. He currently captains both Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and the Portuguese national team.
