Jimmy Donaldson or widely recognized as MrBeast, recently broke the 100 million YouTube subscribers benchmark surpassing Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg over a month ago. His self-funded videos and partnerships with Epic Games, among others, have now catapulted his popularity into a new stratosphere. According to the Twitter account of YT Battles, a YouTube analytics community with close to 300,000 subscribers, MrBeast’s channel registered the biggest subscriber count growth over a week for the year. With 3,188,959 new subscribers gained from December 12 to 18 in the 50th week of the year, MrBeast posted this year’s fastest-growing YouTube channel. Which is impressive on its own, until you remember that he’s already at the top.
