Ronaldo sets world record for fastest YouTube channel growth

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to break records, this time with his newly launched YouTube channel.

The 39-year-old football superstar, already a dominant force on social media with 112.6 million followers on X, 170 million on Facebook, and a record 636 million on Instagram, has now set his sights on YouTube.

Ronaldo excitedly announced his latest venture to his massive fan base, saying, “The wait is over. My @YouTube channel is finally here! SIUUUbscribe and join me on this new journey.” His channel, titled ‘UR Cristiano,’ quickly made history by becoming the fastest ever to reach 1 million subscribers.

But Ronaldo didn’t stop there. Just 24 hours later, he shattered another record by hitting 10 million subscribers, earning him a Gold Play button from YouTube to mark the achievement.

The previous record for reaching 10 million subscribers was held by Hamster Kombat, which took seven days to hit the milestone.
