Portugal’s seasoned forward Cristiano Ronaldo broke the record for hitting the fastest 10 million subscribers on YouTube.
Ronaldo has been known for making history on the football field. But his accolades have started to spread off the field as well. Ronaldo became the quickest to reach 1 million subscribers on YouTube after opening his channel on Wednesday.
According to Goal.com, Ronaldo broke the record by ousting Hamster Kombat. Hamster took seven days to hit the 10 million mark, while Ronaldo achieved it within a day.
Apart from YouTube, Ronaldo has 112.6 million followers on X, 170 million on Facebook and a record-setting 636 million on Instagram.
The 39-year-old, who has five Ballon d’Or titles to his name, is currently playing in the Saudi Pro League for Al Nassr.
Meanwhile, on the field, Ronaldo has faced ups and downs in 2024. Ronaldo-led Portugal crashed out of the ongoing Euro 2024 after their disappointing loss against France.
Portugal kept the game 0-0 until the full time of the match, but in the penalties, they failed to save a single shot from the French players and lost by 5-3.
The 2024 edition of the EURO Cup was disheartening for Ronaldo as he failed to score a single goal in the tournament after playing all five matches for the first time since making his debut in the tournament.
While in the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo has fared well with Al Nassr. He has netted 49 goals in 47 matches and registered 13 assists as well.
Last week, Ronaldo featured in Al Nassr’s line-up in the final of the Saudi Super Cup against Al Hilal.
Ronaldo featured on the scoresheet, but his effort wasn’t enough, with Al Nassr falling short in the final following a 4-1 defeat.
What Is Hamster Kombat?
Hamster Kombat, a viral Telegram-based game, claims to be the third-fastest app in history to reach 150 million users. This remarkable feat puts it in the spotlight, with many wondering if it’s set to break a Guinness World Record.
In the tech world, reaching 150 million users is a milestone few achieve. Hamster Kombat, which combines elements of a “crypto exchange CEO simulator” with clicker mechanics, has managed to do this in a matter of months. The app follows in the footsteps of Pokémon GO and Threads, both of which also saw rapid user adoption.
Hamster Kombat is more than just a simple game. Players start as bald hamsters who sign a contract to become the CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange. The game involves clicking to earn virtual coins, which can be used to upgrade the exchange. These upgrades help players earn points passively, adding a layer of strategy to the game. This unique approach has captured the attention of millions, with a player base that has grown exponentially over the past few months.
The game’s success isn’t confined to just the app. Hamster Kombat’s YouTube channel has outpaced subscription numbers of even the most popular channels like Mr Beast. The channel, which features animated content and educational videos about Web3 and cryptocurrency, has amassed over 473 million views and earned $5.2 million in ad revenue since its launch.
