This summer saw a slight lull in the content creation world, with streamers, YouTubers, and TikTokers taking short breaks to recharge for the upcoming season. Despite the pause, social media remained active with a few notable events, such as the breakup of Masi and IlloJuan, the relationship between Gemita and AuronPlay, and the highly publicized dispute between Frank Cuesta and his ex-wife Yuyee over the Thailand Animal Sanctuary. The drama even involved other creators like TheGrefg, Plex, and Javi Oliveira, who helped Frank during the ordeal.

However, for football fans, there was a major announcement: Cristiano Ronaldo launched his YouTube channel, 'UR · Cristiano,' marking a new chapter in his career. The Portuguese star ventured into the world of content creation, offering a side of himself that fans rarely see—away from the pitch and the press. This was exactly what Ronaldo aimed to achieve with the channel, and he has been wildly successful.

Since its launch, 'UR · Cristiano' has shattered YouTube records. Millions of fans rushed to subscribe to the channel, and in just over two months, Ronaldo has amassed more than 67 million subscribers. The Portuguese football legend isn't just breaking records in terms of subscribers; his videos are also attracting extraordinary view counts. The five most viewed videos on his channel have accumulated 52, 45, 36, 21, and 19 million views, numbers that are usually reserved for the biggest YouTubers globally.

Ronaldo's YouTube success seems to be only the beginning. His recent statement, "My next guest on YouTube will break the internet," has sparked speculation across social media. The most likely candidate for this groundbreaking collaboration is none other than his long-time rival, Lionel Messi. A video featuring both football icons would undoubtedly create one of the most talked-about moments in social media history. Another possibility is a collaboration with IShowSpeed, one of the world’s most popular streamers and a massive fan of Ronaldo, which would also send the internet into a frenzy.

Financially, Ronaldo is already reaping the benefits of his YouTube venture. In just 72 hours after creating his channel, he reportedly earned six figures. With YouTube paying around $6 per 1,000 views, and his videos accumulating millions of views, Ronaldo is on track to generate substantial revenue. His 20 videos have already garnered over 177 million views, which could potentially bring in anywhere from $1,200 to $6,000 per million views. Before joining YouTube, Ronaldo’s net worth was estimated to be around $500 million, and with collaborations like a video with Messi, that figure could easily double.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube Success: Launched his channel 'UR · Cristiano' and gained over 67 million subscribers in just two months.
  • Record-Breaking Views: Ronaldo’s videos are pulling in millions of views, with the top five videos reaching up to 52 million views.
  • Future Collaborations: Ronaldo hinted at a future collaboration that could "break the internet," with Messi or IShowSpeed being the leading candidates.
  • YouTube Earnings: Ronaldo has already earned a significant amount, potentially making between $1,200 and $6,000 per million views. His net worth could grow significantly with more high-profile collaborations.
