“MrBeast, in 2 years, I will surpass that guy, just wait and see,” Cristiano Ronaldo said at a press conference for the Portuguese national team.

After 2 weeks of officially joining the YouTube platform, Ronaldo’s “UR Cristiano” channel has attracted 55.7 million followers. This number is still quite a bit less than MrBeast’s YouTube channel with the largest number of followers in the world (312 million).

However, Ronaldo has every reason to surpass the American YouTuber, because he has 676 million followers on Instagram, the largest number in the world.

With the charisma of a world-class football star, Ronaldo set a Guinness World Record in the first week of announcing his YouTube channel. “UR Cristiano” was the channel with the most subscribers in the history of this platform in the first 24 hours since the channel appeared (19,729,827 people).

According to Thinkific , a YouTube creator can expect to earn between $2 and $12 per 1,000 views on the platform. This equates to about $0.002 to $0.012 per view. For every 1 million views, a channel owner can expect to earn between $1,200 and $6,000 .

With tens of millions of views per video, Ronaldo will earn a huge amount of money, not including advertising prices.

During the press conference, reporters pressed Ronaldo about his potential participation in the 2026 World Cup. The 39-year-old forward responded with measured restraint: “I’m not looking that far ahead right now. My focus is strictly on the goals at hand.”

Ronaldo and his teammates are set to face two crucial matches in the UEFA Nations League, taking on Croatia on September 6 and Scotland on September 9.
