But there is no denying that fans love his content. To prove his massive fandom, he now has over 100 million subscribers on his multiple channels. But his main channel alone crossed the 100 million mark, making him only the second individual to do so. Undoubtedly, it’s the grandest of milestones in Jimmy’s career right now.

MrBeast shares his 27 to 100M journey

There were only four YouTube channels with over 100 million subscribers, and PewDiePie was the only individual creator on that list. However, Donaldson has joined that elite list, becoming the second individual creator to reach a hundred.

MrBeast came into the spotlight in 2017, but he has been on the platform even before that. Jimmy started his journey in 2012 with ‘Minecraft let’s play’ videos and back then his channel was called MrBeast6000. The 24-year-old shared that in July 2012, he had around 27 subscribers.

Jimmy revealed around eight years ago, that reaching a thousand subscribers was like a huge event for him. He saw many ups and downs on this journey and it has rewarded him as he is now among the richest YouTubers. However, not every day was like now in the past. MrBeast said after graduation that he was making $100 from YouTube and had to choose if he wanted to continue or get a proper job.

Jimmy opted to follow his passion and continue making money. He mentioned how he used to spend whatever he saved on his videos. After grinding for years on his channel, his efforts bore fruit. He started getting sponsorship deals. Now he is not only a big YouTuber but also a successful entrepreneur. He has set up businesses like Beast Burgers and Feastables chocolates.
