The global football legend, Cristiano Ronaldo, has once again made history, this time by becoming the fastest person to reach 16 million subscribers on YouTube.
The channel, which was launched on Wednesday afternoon, rapidly gained traction, hitting 10 million subscribers in under 12 hours—a feat that took renowned YouTuber MrBeast 132 days to achieve.
By Thursday, Ronaldo’s channel had surged to 16 million subscribers, whom he affectionately refers to as “SIUUUbscribers,” a nod to his famous “Siuuuu” goal celebration.
This astonishing growth underscores Ronaldo’s unparalleled influence, not just on the football field but also across the digital landscape.
Ronaldo’s dominance on YouTube adds to his already impressive social media empire.
The football star boasts 636 million followers on Instagram, 107 million on Facebook, and 112.6 million on X (formerly Twitter), making him one of the most followed individuals across all platforms.
His rapid rise on YouTube further cements his position as a global icon, with a fan base that spans continents and transcends the sport that made him famous.
