Next, we have YouTuber Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie. By far the most famous YouTuber in the world, in part thanks to a number of controversies and his rivalry with another channel, T-Series, he's also one of the highest earners on the platform.
Two channels recently managed to break the 100M subscriber barrier: Felix Kjellberg's PewDiePie channel and T-Series from India.
The most-subscribed channel is that of Indian record label T-Series, which hosts its music videos on its channel. With over 231 million subscribers as of December 2022, the channel has held the top position since April 14, 2019.
In a statement, MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), said, “100 million means so much. I've been making videos since I was 11 years old. This number in a way represents everything I've ever done in my life and I'm so grateful to everyone who's ever watched a video.
As of November 2022, T-Series had reached surpassed 207 billion lifetime video views, making it the most-viewed YouTube channel owner of all time. Popular children's rhymes and song channel Cocomelon followed, with 143.7 billion lifetime views.
In 2021, it was estimated that YouTube Mr. Beast (Jimmy Donaldson) ranked first as the top-earning YouTuber worldwide with earnings of approximately 54 million U.S. dollars. Jake Paul ranked second, with an estimate of 45 million U.S. dollars earned during the last measured year.
The average YouTube channel can receive around $18 per 1,000 ad views, which equals around $3 to $5 per video view, according to data from Influencer Marketing Hub.
Few people demonstrate YouTube's shift better than Jimmy Donaldson, better known to his 112 million subscribers as MrBeast. This week Donaldson, 24 and born in Wichita, Kansas, became YouTube's king, surpassing Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg as the most subscribed-to individual on the platform.
