MrBeast aka Jimmy Donaldson, who boasts a whopping 318 million followers on YouTube platform, the highest number in the world, has publicly stated his intention to not let Portuguese footballing superstar Cristiano Ronaldo pass him on the video streaming platform. In his bid to stop “UR Cristiano” from becoming the highest subscribed channel on YouTube, MrBeast commented on collaborating with Lionel Messi, the arch-rival of Cristiano Ronaldo, to ensure his subscriber number goes upwards.

Notably, after launching his YouTube channel “UR Cristiano,” the 39-year-old became the fastest to one million subscribers within 90 minutes before reaching the 10 million subscribers mark in just 12 hours. As of this writing, Cristiano Ronaldo has more than 63 million subscribers in over a month and a half, but the growth of his channel has stagnated a bit after the initial hype of the first couple of weeks.
