Gangtok, June 14 -- Jimmy Donaldson, globally known as MrBeast, has once again rewritten the YouTube record books. The 27-year-old content creator has officially become the first individual creator in the platform's history to cross 500 million subscribers, a milestone YouTube itself confirmed and celebrated on its official blog this week.

The achievement cements MrBeast's position as the most-followed individual creator on the planet, far ahead of his nearest rivals. He first became the most-subscribed individual creator on YouTube back in November 2022, and went on to become the most-subscribed channel on the entire platform by June 2024, overtaking long-time leader T-Series.
