Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his relentless drive on the football field, is now channeling that same energy into the digital world. The Portuguese legend has revealed his latest ambition: to become the most subscribed individual on YouTube, a title currently held by the platform’s biggest star, Mr.Beast, who boasts 313 million subscribers.
CR7’s Digital Domination Begins
Cristiano’sYouTube channel, UR Cristiano, has already shattered records. In just 12 hours after its launch on July 8, 2024, the channel reached 10 million subscribers, eclipsing Mr. Beast’s previous record of 132 days to reach the same milestone. The immediate success of Ronaldo’s channel highlights the immense global reach of the football icon, both on and off the field.
My kids joke that I’ve become a YouTuber, but my real goal is to connect more closely with my fans. And yes, I want to beat MrBeast,” Ronaldo humorously remarked in a recent interview
As of September 1, Ronaldo’s channel has surged to 55.6 million subscribers, putting him in striking distance of other major YouTube figures like Taylor Swift (59 million) and Justin Bieber (73 million). For context, even Lionel Messi, considered by many as the greatest footballer ever, has only 2.7 million subscribers on his channel, underscoring Ronaldo’s unprecedented impact in the digital space.
Ronaldo’s journey to the top of YouTube is just beginning, but with his competitive spirit and massive fanbase, he is poised to give Mr. Beast and other top creators a serious challenge. Whether on the pitch or online, Cristiano Ronaldo is proving that his ambition knows no limits.
