MrBeast celebrates 100m YouTube subscribers by ‘giving away a private island in Squid Game style challenge’

MrBeat, the hugely popular YouTuber, has hit another impressive milestone, as he’s celebrated reaching 100 million subscribers on his main channel.

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. I hope to do YouTube until the day I die.”
