"You're already approaching 250m": Fans react as MrBeast shares custom YouTube play button for reaching 200 million subscribers

Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, has recently shared a photo of the 200 million subscriber player button sent over by YouTube. The popular content creator is the only non-corporate channel on the Google-owned platform to reach the impressive milestone, becoming one of only two to achieve this feat in October of 2023, along with the Indian music label T-Series.

Since then, Jimmy has added millions of more subscribers and currently stands at 242 million. Many of his fans noted this very fact while congratulating him on getting the unique award, with one X user stating:

As one of the most prolific YouTubers of the last decade, MrBeast has seen immense growth in popularity over the last couple of years, leaving behind all of his fellow content creators in terms of the number of subscribers on his channel. As per the latest numbers, the second most subscribed non-brand channel is Like Nastya, with around 113 million subscribers, less than half of Donaldson's main channel.

In addition, MrBeast has several secondary channels that produce philanthropic content and videos in other languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic.

Suffice it to say that the North Carolina-based YouTuber is a global sensation, and considering how the website is known to send over plaques and trophies to creators for achieving milestones, the 200,000,000 subscriber trophy was a long time coming. As per posts from him and others in his team, it is a custom-made award resembling the channel's tiger logo.

However, it does appear that the content king has been sitting with the custom-made award for some time, as in a subsequent post on X, he revealed:

MrBeast's post has gone viral, garnering over 5 million views in a couple of hours since it went live
