MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, has become YouTube's most subscribed channel, surpassing Bollywood music label T-Series. This milestone comes years after PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, lost his top spot to T-Series. Donaldson celebrated the achievement by noting that his channel gained 2 million subscribers in a single day, setting a new record. Social Blade now lists MrBeast at 268 million subscribers.
MrBeast is renowned for his videos featuring large cash giveaways, prizes, and charity work. He has been active on YouTube since 2012 and has diversified into the food industry with his Feastables chocolates and MrBeast Burger brand. However, Donaldson has sued the company behind MrBeast Burger, alleging that poor quality burgers were harming his brand.
