For those who are unfamiliar, MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) is one of the most successful creators to ever grace YouTube. He recently surpassed 100 million subscribers on the platform. His channel quickly rose to popularity through his increasingly elaborate original videos that he funds himself. The more viewers and subscribers MrBeast gets, the more elaborate and expensive his videos have gotten over the past few years. MrBeast has gone so far as to even recreate Squid Game, the popular Netflix original series. The viral Squid Game video brought together a total of 456 contestants to face off and compete for smaller prizes and a grand prize of 456,000 dollars.

Recently, the content creator broke yet another record on the site. Thanks to the Twitter account PwnyGaming, which keeps track of YouTube channel analytics across the platform, it was revealed that MrBeast has just beaten the record for most subscribers in a single week for this current year. According to PwnyGaming, MrBeast’s analytics reveal that during the week of December 12 - December 18 he gained a follower count of a whopping 3,188,959 subscribers. With the amount of money MrBeast spends on his content, it appears that the effort is paying off.
Not only does his use of large budgets for his content generate tons of views, but viewers also flock to MrBeast videos because of his willingness to help other gamers. With his impressive on-screen antics, charitable nature towards the gaming community, and even being added as a skin in the newest chapter of Fortnite last week, it’s no wonder why MrBeast had such a big week. The total amount of subscribers MrBeast received last week were the highest for any YouTuber in all of 2022.
MrBeast seems to be an unbeatable giant. The moniker Donaldson chose suits him well, seeing as how he has become such a juggernaut among content creators. He has even voiced recent aspirations and plans to buy an official MrBeast League of Legends team. The high-speed surge of his YouTube channel and content have created an entire empire focused on going big or going home. As the world is heading towards the holidays, a milestone like receiving such a large subscriber count is sure to serve as a great early present.
