American YouTuber MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, has finally dethroned T-Series. The Indian music record label and film production company, owned by Gulshan Kumar, had held the title of most-subscribed channel on the platform since 2019, after defeating popular Swedish YouTuber, PewDiePie.

MrBeast marked the occasion with a celebratory post on Twitter, where he shared a screenshot of a subscription comparison from Viewstats.com. According to the screenshot, his YouTube channel had 266,707,995 subscribers, as compared to T-Series' 266 million subscribers. This makes him the new reigning king of the channel, with 270 million subscribers at the time of this writing.

The YouTuber has also been successful in finding other ways to monetize his popularity. He launched a mobile game called “Finger on the App” in June 2020 and established a food company named Feastables in January 2022.
