Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record – this time far away from the pitch.
The 39-year-old Portuguese’s new YouTube channel “UR Cristiano” reached around 57 million subscribers in the initial phase, and now has around 63 million. With almost 20 million subscribers within 24 hours, Ronaldo secured a “Guinness World Record” for himself, and the 2016 European champion proudly presented the certificate for it.
However, the multiple world footballer does not yet have the account with the most followers: Around 315 million subscribers follow the influencer “MrBeast”, who produces videos in which he challenges guests and offers a large amount of money, sometimes in the millions, as prize money.
Videos in various formats
Ronaldo publishes his videos in different formats. Sometimes they are short videos in portrait format, and sometimes there is a YouTube premiere. This is the announced release of a new video that viewers can watch together as soon as it is released. The number of videos – over 30 in two weeks – is also rather unusual. The content is about both football and his relationship with his wife.
Ronaldo wants to overtake “MrBeast”
With 132 goals in 214 international matches, Ronaldo is the five-time World Footballer of the Year, his country’s record player and record goalscorer. He recently said he had a combined total of one billion followers on social media. “We have made history,” the Portuguese posted on Instagram, X, Facebook and Kuaishou, among others.
But that’s not all. Ronaldo wants to overtake YouTube star “MrBeast”. According to broadcaster “Giga”, he wants to achieve this in the next two years. There are already live counters that compare the subscribers of the two YouTube channels in real time.
