Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved various milestones, including gaining 20 million subscribers in 24 hours, beating MrBeast’s YouTube record as the fastest growing channel.
On August 21, 2024, one of the greatest soccer players ever opened his YouTube channel to the world and shared it with his 636 million followers on Instagram.
Viewers quickly flocked to his channel, making millions of dollars within 24 hours, and YouTube awarded him a golden play button that same day.
Ronaldo, who easily surpassed 20 million subscribers, broke the previous record held by Mr.Beast for the fastest time to reach 20 million subscribers and broke other records as well.

With a staggering 28.2 million views, Ronaldo hit that mark within two days – in fact, he surpassed the 20 million mark within 24 hours.
For comparison, it took MrBeast 132 days to reach 10 million subscribers on one of his channels, while Ronaldo reached the milestone within 12 hours.
Technically, Ronaldo’s user was created on July 8, 2024, but his announcement is when things really started to move.

MrBeast’s largest single-day subscriber growth was nearly 2.1 million, a far cry from Ronaldo’s staggering numbers.

Not only that, Ronaldo’s feat would essentially break other subscriber-related records for Mr.Beast: Mr.Beast holds the records for most subscribers in a week, most subscribers in a month, and if Ronaldo pulls it off, he might even claim the record for most subscribers in a year.
Currently, Ronaldo’s channel has 19 videos, most of which were uploaded shortly before the channel’s announcement. They are all short, with the longest running just over three minutes.

However, there’s also speculation that Ronaldo is looking to launch his own podcast, which would no doubt further increase his presence on the platform, so if YouTube hasn’t already got his Diamond play button ready for him, now might be the time to start.
