Jimmy Donaldson, more popularly known as MrBeast, has again broken the YouTube record for the most-viewed non-music video in 24 hours, seven days after setting the last record with his previous video. The YouTuber has been releasing viral videos back-to-back. His most recent one was about a $250,000 vacation and was destined to become popular as it had collaborations with PewDiePie and some members of Sidemen.
Jimmy currently has the highest number of subscribers on YouTube as an individual creator, with his main channel standing at over 175 million subscribers. The only channel with more subscribers is T-Series at 247 million. While the gap is significant, MrBeast has all but declared a subscriber war against the brand, urging viewers to follow his channel in the same way PewDiePie did years ago.
The YouTuber took to X to celebrate after his most recent video titled $1 vs $250,000 Vacation! got over 52 million views in the first 23 hours and 49 minutes, which means he beat his previous record by three million views.
