YouTube megastar MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) has once again made history — this time by becoming the first creator ever to reach 400 million subscribers on the platform. In celebration of the milestone, YouTube has awarded him a custom one-of-a-kind play button, unlike anything seen before.
The commemorative award, unveiled in a special video on MrBeast’s channel, features a crystal core encased in a platinum-glass structure, glowing with interactive LED lights that display live subscriber data and embedded highlights from his most viral videos. The design is symbolic of MrBeast’s evolution from challenge videos to philanthropy, gaming, and global entertainment.
“MrBeast has redefined what it means to be a creator — inspiring millions with generosity, innovation, and jaw-dropping content. This unique award honors a milestone no one else has achieved.”
Known for giving away millions in cash, planting trees, feeding the hungry, and pushing the limits of content creation, MrBeast has become more than a YouTuber — he’s a cultural phenomenon. His subscriber base, now larger than the population of most countries, spans across every continent.
With 400 million subscribers, MrBeast now has more followers than the entire populations of the United States, Canada, and the UK — combined.
As he sets his sights on half a billion, one thing is clear: MrBeast isn’t just breaking records — he’s rewriting YouTube history.
