MrBeast's remarkable journey of becoming a YouTube superstar
MrBeast took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his growth and success as a YouTuber by highlighting how many subscribers he had on each birthday.
The creator, who ventured into the platform at a tender age, revealed that his journey began with just one follower when he was only 12 and had a single subscriber.
At 15, he had amassed a mere 75 subscribers. However, it was at the age of 16 that his channel's trajectory took a remarkable turn as he crossed the 1000-subscriber milestone.
However, he reached the highest spike by his 19th birthday as MrBeast suddenly had over a million subscribers, and his numbers haven't stopped rising ever since. At 20, he had 4.7 million subscribers and the creator had 94 million people following his account by the age of 24.

In another post, MrBeast further added, "When I was 12 I basically decided I’d either become a YouTuber or die trying. There really wasn’t a reality in my head where I didn’t make it, just the time was the issue."
He continued, "I’d still be making videos at 70 years old even if no one watched them. (Luckily it didn’t get to that point lol) I’m grateful I found what I loved at a young age."
