YouTube CEO's message for MrBeast as he makes history with 300,000,000 subscribers
MrBeast just hit another insane milestone and the YouTube CEO shared his thoughts.
Known for creating out of the box videos like the ‘world’s deadliest obstacle course’ with his celebrity friends and giving out incredible cash prizes, MrBeast is no stranger to being in the news.
After taking the crown from T-Series just last month to become the most subscribed to channel on YouTube, MrBeast (real name Jimmy Donaldson) has made history once again.

When he overtook T-Series at the beginning of June 2024, MrBeast was sitting on an impressive 269 million subscribers. But that’s not a nice round number is it? Just over a month later and Donaldson has gained a further 31,000,000 subscribers to secure his spot as the top. The YouTube sensation has officially made history as the first ever creator to reach 300,000,000 subscribers on the platform.
Donaldson took to Twitter on July 10 to share his excitement with fans, posting a picture of the incomprehensible stat and saying: "I remember freaking out when I hit 300 subscribers 11 years ago.. lol."
Getting even more nostalgic, Donaldson also posted a clip from an old video where he was celebrating reaching 300 subscribers, captioning: "This is my 300 subscriber special video from 11 years ago, so crazy to watch it now."
We all love a bit of praise from our boss. And I guess in some respect you could consider the CEO of YouTube MrBeast’s boss? Kind of.
Well, Neal Mohan, CEO of the video sharing platform, shared his thoughts on Donaldson’s incredible achievement on July 11. Replying to Donaldson’s original post, Mohan wrote: "@MrBeast, I'd say congrats on 300M subs, but by the time I tweet this you may already be at 400M..."
He’s not wrong.
With X flaring up with commentary on Donaldson’s achievement, one account posted a graph showing how MrBeast has posted one video every 11 days for 10 years.
Crediting this dedication to his success, @kwharrison13 wrote: "Mr Beast has published one video every 11 days for ten years.
"Majority of anything is just doing the thing."
Donaldson replied to this post with a simple "Yup."
At the point of writing this article, MrBeast sits about 31,000,000 ahead of T-Series, who now holds the spot of second most-subscribed to channel.
According to Social Blade, MrBeast gained around 21 million subscribers over the last month. If he keeps up that kind of momentum, who knows where he could be in years to come.
