James Stephen Donaldson, popularly known as MrBeast, is celebrating another milestone in his YouTube journey. Apart from owning the most-followed channel on YouTube, he now has 400 million subscribers on the channel as of June 1, 2025.

"No one is bigger then him."

Another user (@Bradheat) expressed awe at how far the YouTuber has been able to come. He added photos from James' channel approximately six years ago. He wrote,

"Seems like just yesterday he hit 5 million. Time flies fr."

Fans also recalled the time that YouTuber PewDiePie and T-Series were competing to reach 100 million. One user (@GachaChagama) wrote,

"Remember PewDiePie vs T series."

Another netizen (@Lonerskii) added,

"He can change the world with that fan base if he got a great plan or he in the way."

One user (@Update1page) added,

"Am not sure anyone can beat that record."

Known for his quirky challenges and MrBeast Games, one fan (@Astarista_) wondered,

"I wonder what kind of challenge this will inspire."
