Cristiano Ronaldo Sets YouTube Record with 20 Million Subscribers in 24 Hours

Cristiano Ronaldo has again made headlines, this time in the digital world. The football icon launched his YouTube channel, “UR Cristiano,” on August 21, 2024, and achieved an extraordinary milestone by gaining 20 million subscribers in under 24 hours, setting a new record for the fastest growth in YouTube history.

Surpassing the previous record held by MrBeast, who took over two years to reach the same number, Ronaldo‘s channel quickly captured the attention of his massive fanbase and marked his transition into digital content creation. His aim is to connect with fans on a more personal level through engaging content.

The channel’s debut featured a variety of content, including a teaser trailer, a quiz game with his partner Georgina Rodriguez, and a video of Ronaldo meeting his wax figure at Madame Tussauds. These videos not only provided a glimpse into Ronaldo‘s life but also attracted his extensive following from other social media platforms:

• Instagram: 636 million followers
• X (formerly Twitter): 112.5 million followers
• Facebook: 170 million followers

Ronaldo broke the record for the fastest to reach one million subscribers within just 90 minutes. By the end of the first day, his subscriber count had surpassed 20 million, a feat that took other creators years to achieve.

His rapid success on YouTube highlights the influence of celebrity in the digital age, demonstrating how personal brands can leverage their fame for impressive growth on new platforms.
