Cristiano Ronaldo has recently refocused his ambitions from football to social media stardom.
Back in the selection with Portugal, CR7 revealed a new objective: to surpass MrBeast, the best YouTuber in the world.
At a recent press conference, he answered a reporter’s question about MrBeast with a mix of humor and seriousness.
The reporter asked: “ Who is MrBeast? “, before the Al Nassr captain replied:
« This is the guy I have to beat on YouTube (laughs). My kids already say I’m a YouTuber. But seriously, my goal was to be closer to my fans. But I want to beat him, so be careful ».
Cristiano Ronaldo’s drive to surpass MrBeast reveals a broader ambition beyond the football pitch, targeting new areas of digital influence as he continues to dominate both the sports and digital worlds.
However, to overtake MrBeast, he would have to amass over 313 million subscribers on YouTube, a feat that seems achievable for the world’s most followed individual on Instagram.
