Cristiano Ronaldo has recently added a YouTube Gold Play Button plaque to his impressive trophy collection. The renowned football star, who has clinched five Ballon d’Or awards, the most prestigious individual accolade in the sport, has amassed a total of 33 trophies in his illustrious career. Among his notable achievements are five Champions League titles, where he holds the record for the most goals scored (140), as well as triumphs in the European Championship and the Nations League.
Notably, Ronaldo, formerly of Real Madrid and Manchester United, has set a new record off the field by becoming the first YouTuber to reach 20 million subscribers within just 24 hours. This milestone surpasses the previous record held by Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, whose channel hit 10 million subscribers in 132 days.
Ronaldo's YouTube channel, UR Cristiano, offers fans an intimate look into his personal life, featuring videos with his wife, Georgina Rodríguez, and their five children. The family currently resides in Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo's team, Al Nassr, is based. The channel showcases a variety of content, including Ronaldo's interactions with his Madame Tussauds wax figure, highlights of his best Euro goals, and engaging challenges like a father vs. son free-kick showdown with Cristiano Jr.
With over 30 million subscribers, or 'siuuubscribers' as Ronaldo playfully refers to them, his channel has garnered significant viewership. His top two videos, each under two minutes in length, have collectively amassed 24 million views. Ronaldo's foray into YouTube aligns with a trend of sports stars joining the platform, with notable figures like Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Cam Newton, and Jimmy Butler also sharing content.
While Ronaldo's channel continues to grow, he still trails behind MrBeast, the most subscribed channel with 331 million followers. Ronaldo's YouTube presence underscores his commitment to engaging with fans and providing unique insights into his life beyond the football pitch.
