When Ronaldo stepped into the YouTube space in 2024 with UR Cristiano, his channel broke records. Within 90 minutes, the length of a football match, he had one million subscribers, far outstripping his fiancee's relatively measly tally so far. By the end of day one, the subscriber count had climbed rapidly to 10 million, and up to 15 million after 24 hours.
As of October 2025, it has 76.7 million subscribers. That pales into insignificance compared to MrBeast, which is the most popular channel on all of YouTube with 443 million subscribers, but UR Cristiano still sits an impressive 32nd on the overall list.
