Logan Paul Weighs In On Cristiano Ronaldo's Chance Of Reaching MrBeast's YouTube Numbers

Jake Paul does not see anyone breaking MrBeast's YouTube subscribers record soon, not even Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7)!

The boxer expressed his admiration for the soccer player's impressive achievement of gaining the most YouTube subscribers in 90 minutes but argued that he could not topple MrBeast's subscriber count.

Cristiano Ronaldo's subscriber count currently stands at 43 million, against Mr Beast's 312 million, and both are growing by the second.

The professional boxer acknowledged CR7's record-breaking feat, saying, "Kudos to him. Hopefully, he drops some awesome videos, and I think it's dope that he's on the platform."

However, his admiration ends there, as the boxer argues that the footballer cannot match MrBeast's reach on the streaming platform.

Paul's opinions on the discourse of trending followers are pretty valuable, as he's famous for trying to amass numbers on the platform. He currently has 20 million subscribers.

He also predicted an end to the subscribers' frenzy soon on Ronaldo's end, which may not threaten Mr Beast's dominance in any way.

According to TMZ, there is somewhere else Ronaldo has a huge edge ahead of MrBeast, and that is on Instagram, with a whopping 637 million followers against Mr. Beast's meager 60 million.

The soccer player has reportedly hit the six figures mark in YouTube earnings over 72 hours since he created the channel.

According to Marca, his opponent, MrBeast, makes around $5 million on an average monthly ad spend on the platform alone. He also gets an estimated 400 million views on average on the channel.

So far, Ronaldo has posted 20 videos, all of which have surpassed 170 million views. YouTube reportedly pays $6 per every 1000 views, which means the athlete could make between $1,200 and $6000 per one million views.

Per our estimate, after 72 hours, the Instagram influencer has already made around $100 million, minus the potential sponsorship deals he will get to launch on the account. This puts Ronaldo's account on the list of one of the most valuable YouTube channels in history.

Little wonder predictions are high that the athlete will surpass MrBeast's achievements within a short time. Last year, Ronaldo became the highest-earning account on Instagram.

The Blast shared that he topped the list by earning a whopping $2.4 million per sponsored post, leaving Jenner in the second spot, who earned $1.8 million per post.

Ronaldo's Instagram account became home to sponsored posts from various prestigious brands, including LiveScore, Therabody, and cryptocurrency brand Binance. In 2019, he appeared at number 3 on the Instagram Rich List with about $970,000 in sponsored post earnings.

In a 2022 Rich List, Ronaldo's rival and World Cup champion Lionel Messi snatched the third spot with $1.77 million per sponsored post, exceeding Selena Gomez's $1.73 million per post in fourth place.

Quite the achiever, the 39-year-old rose to the top of the follower count table last November when he became the most followed person on Instagram with 597 million followers.

He leaped ahead of Messi, leaving him in second place with 376 million followers(updated to 480 million) and Jenner in third place with 372 million followers. 

However, a slight tussle emerged between Jenner and Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez, who kicked Jenner to the number 4 spot with 426 million followers. In contrast, Jenner's follower count was updated to 397 million.

The soccer icon doubled down on his clear lead this year as the most followed person on Instagram, currently standing at 637 million followers.

Messi maintained his second-place position with 504 million followers, over singer Gomez, who was third with 424 million followers.

Jenner is 27 million followers behind Gomez, with 397, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in fifth place, with 395 million followers.

Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Khloe Kardashian, and Justin Bieber filled the remaining five spots as the most followed people on Instagram, with 377 million, 361 million, 316 million, 307 million, and 293 million followers, respectively.
