Summary
- MrBeast reached 400 million YouTube subscribers, surpassing T-Series by over 100 million.
- He began his journey in 2012, creating unique content.
- MrBeast has worked to produce videos out of passion, achieving massive success.
MrBeast just hit 400 million YouTube subscribers, a milestone that no other content creator on the platform is even close to. What makes it even more surprising is the gap - he’s now over 100 million subscribers ahead of T-Series, the platform’s second most-subscribed YouTube channel.
MrBeast started his YouTube journey in 2012, posting gaming videos and trying different content formats. His breakout moment came in 2017 with a video where he counted to 100,000, which helped kick off his rise. Since then, MrBeast has become known for over-the-top challenges and massive giveaways, ranging from cars to cash, all of which helped him grow at an incredible pace. In early 2023, the YouTube personality made it clear he wanted to surpass T-Series, who held the top spot at the time. Back then, MrBeast had about 125 million subscribers, while T-Series had already passed 230 million. By mid-2024, the gap had closed, and MrBeast officially became the most-subscribed YouTuber on the platform.
Technoblade YouTube Channel Passes Incredible Milestone
Late Minecraft creator Technoblade reaches a remarkable subscriber milestone on his YouTube channel, all thanks to his dedicated fanbase.
In January 2025, YouTube star MrBeast reached an incredible milestone of 341 million YouTube subscribers. Just five months later, he has hit another remarkable achievement by crossing the 400 million subscriber mark - a huge accomplishment by any standard. Reflecting on the journey, MrBeast shared that a decade ago, people around him thought he was “too obsessed” with making videos and constantly told him he’d “never make it.” Despite the doubts, he stayed focused, working non-stop for years out of pure passion - even telling his mom he’d rather be “homeless” than do anything else.
MrBeast hits 400 Million YouTube Subscribers
MrBeast described waking up each day with purpose as “the greatest gift in life,” and credited YouTube and his audience for making that possible. It is worth mentioning that when MrBeast passed 300 million subscribers, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan jokingly tweeted that he would congratulate him for reaching this milestone but would probably have to update it to nearly 400 million by the time the post went live. MrBeast now leads YouTube by over 100 million subscribers, ahead of T-Series, which holds the second spot with more than 295 million subscribers.
Beyond subscriber counts, MrBeast also holds several major YouTube records. In one instance, he gained over 2 million subscribers in just 24 hours, setting a new platform record. It’s safe to say that 500 million subscribers isn’t far off, and while it’s tough to predict exactly when he’ll reach it, the momentum is clearly working in his favor. Outside of YouTube, MrBeast has made headlines for becoming the youngest self-made billionaire, having built his empire from the ground up without inherited wealth.
