Social media is an easy world to enter. Millions have put their investments on it, and influencers have popped up here and there. Fresh talents are always discovered. However, while this industry offers an easy way in, the algorithm to skyrocket to fame is hard to solve. In the end, only the best come out on top. Among the thousands of influencers, only a few have won in charming the hearts of millions.
1. Pewdiepie – YouTube’s Reigning King
Felix Kjellberg, also known as Pewdiepie, is one of the most subscribed channels on YouTube. At one point, he even ranked number one. He doesn’t only offer original and varied content, but he has also presented a wonderful person to watch — himself!
As we all already know, the internet is a scary place. It picks at everything everyone does, and at times, to some degree, forgets that people make mistakes. The star has been under heat dozens of times already. However, despite the many times the internet has tried to cancel the YouTube king, he has braved all the controversies and has come out of it alive. Take that, haters!
Right now, he has a whopping 110 million subscribers, and we could probably expect it to grow bigger and bigger.
2. MrBeast – YouTube’s Resident Philanthropist
Jimmy, better known as MrBeast, is undoubtedly one of the most original content creators on YouTube. Furthermore, we can also credit the YouTuber as one of the most generous influencers of all time. His content is practically about giving!
While thousands have said they want to change the world, only a few have actually meant it and pulled through with a plan. It’s a phrase often said but rarely done. Not MrBeast though. He said it, and he’s actually working on achieving it. There is no doubt YouTube’s philanthropist is one of the most talked-about influencers today. The world needs more MrBeasts!
Currently, he has 61.8 million subscribers, and there is little doubt that he’ll be gaining more in the future!
3. Charli D’Amelio – TikTok’s Ruling Queen
Whether you like scrolling on TikTok or not, you have probably heard of the name Charli D’Amelio already. The TikTok superstar can take credit as the youngest influencer on this list. She is currently seventeen years old but has already dominated the video-sharing platform!
D’Amelio won the hearts of many with her incredible moves and undeniable charm. Currently, the star has 115.1 million followers and will probably be able to gain more in the future.
4. Addison Rae – Tiktok’s Beloved Princess
If we are going to talk about Tiktok’s queen, then it only seems right to mention the platform’s princess. The second most followed influencer on Tiktok is none other than Addison Rae.
Just like Charli D’Amelio, we can also credit Rae for littering the video-sharing platform with her amazing dance moves. Currently, she has 80.2 million followers, which can be expected to grow in the coming months.
5. Dude Perfect – YouTube’s Record Breakers
Of course, we can’t forget about Dude Perfect! The group consists of brothers Cory and Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler Toney. They don’t just have record-breaking numbers on social media; Dude Perfect has also set multiple Guinness World Records!
Their channel takes credit for being the most-subscribed sports channel on YouTube, with 56 million subscribers. If we’ve learned anything from watching their videos, it’s that the group beats records, so there’s little doubt that they can break their own number, and that sub count will be going up!
6. Brent Rivera – The Youtube Veteran
While many of the people on this list catapulted to fame in just a few months or years, Brent Rivera had to wait a little longer. He started being a YouTuber at 14, and it was just recently that his name echoed. Many of the influencers he started out with have already quit or have lost their followers throughout the years. On the flip side, Rivera has managed to grow his following. To some degree, he is one of those social media personalities who really worked hard to get to where they are. Currently, he has 15.9 million subscribers, and with all his hard work, we can expect that number to grow.
Deciding to be an influencer is no easy task and YouTube — or some other sharing platform — is actually a risky place to put your investments. That’s why we laud these content creators for their talent and bravery. Furthermore, we commend those who are on this list for standing out and keeping their spot in a generation set on canceling people.
