MrBeast, a YouTuber, has more subscribers than anybody else in the world, including PewDiePie.
MrBeast has overtaken PewDiePie as YouTube's most subscribed user, marking the first time the top spot has changed hands in over a decade. Swedish creator PewDiePie, actual name Felix Kjellberg, rose to prominence in 2013 with his gaming response videos and by August had amassed the most subscribers of any YouTuber.
This year (2019), he broke the record for most subscribers by a single individual with 100 million. But this month, MrBeast, whose actual name is Jimmy Donaldson, attracted his 112 millionth subscriber thanks to his charitable work.
Without being able to see the actual figures, it put him ahead of PewDiePie's 111 million. MrBeast is well-known for his charitable movies and large cash gifts.
He also has a licenced charity that acts as a food bank to serve communities around the US, and in 2021 he started a new YouTube channel focused on philanthropy that has more than 10 million followers.
TeamTrees, a global tree-planting initiative that he co-founded with fellow YouTuber Mark Rober, has raised over $24 million (£16.7 million) to date. To top it all off, PewDiePie gave over $70,000 to the TeamTrees initiative.
