Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, has taken the next step in his career. After nearly two decades of dominance in football, Ronaldo has opted to pursue a career as a content creator, beginning with the launch of his YouTube channel ‘UR Cristiano’. Within a few hours of announcing the launch of his YouTube channel, Ronaldo broke a ‘world record’ by being the first person to reach one million subscribers on the network in record time. Not only that, but Ronaldo’s YouTube account reached 10 million subscribers in just 24 hours, setting yet another global record.
Ronaldo is already among the most followed personalities across social media platforms. He has 112.5 million followers on the X (formerly Twitter), 170 million on Facebook and 636 million on Instagram.
“The wait is over. My @YouTube channel is finally here! SIUUUbscribe and join me on this new journey,” Ronaldo posted on Wednesday on his social media accounts, announcing the start of his new journey.
Ronaldo marked the opening day of the channel with videos, including a teaser trailer, a fun quiz game with his partner Georgina Rodriguez. The channel also featured a clip of the Portuguese footballer meeting his wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
The record of hitting the 10 million mark on YouTube was earlier held by Hamster Kombat, with the channel taking 7 days to reach the milestone. Ronaldo’s channel has already went past the 12 million subscribers mark and continues to grow at a never-seen-before pace.
