Jimmy “MrBeast” has presented a custom-made Play Button for his employees. The Play Buttons feature the names engraved on the plaque (similar to YouTube’s Silver Play Button). Additionally, the plaques also include the subscriber mark from the time the said employees joined.

For instance, Shawn Hendrix, who works as a developer in Jimmy’s team, joined when the YouTuber had less than 100 million subscribers. He took to his X account to share the Play Button he received:

“Got this from @MrBeast probably one of the coolest work trophies I have. It’s been an amazing almost 3 years! Thanks, Jimmy! The road to 1 billion!”

Another employee, Gavin DeSantis, who works as one of the lead video editors, shared a picture of his Play Button as well. he wrote:

“So sick! Thank you Jimmy @MrBeast. Let’s crush this year!”

How Many Play Buttons Does MrBeast Have?

MrBeast holds the title of the most-subscribed creator on YouTube, boasting a combined subscriber count of nearly 500 million. This impressive total includes 341 million subscribers on his main channel, 48.1 million on MrBeast 2, 27.1 million on Beast Philanthropy, 46.2 million on MrBeast Gaming, and 35.2 million on Beast Reacts.

Naturally, the YouTuber has amassed an impressive collection of Play Buttons for his channels. In fact, he holds the record for earning the most Play Buttons among all creators. Currently, his collection boasts over 40 Play Buttons.

He is also one of only nine individuals or organizations to receive the prestigious Red Diamond Play Button, awarded to channels that surpass the 100 million subscriber milestone. Other recipients of this rare honor include PewDiePie, Like Nastya, Vlad and Niki, T-Series, and Cocomelon.

Currently, he is one of only two channels, the other being T-Series, to surpass the 200 million subscriber milestone. In recognition of this achievement, YouTube presented him with a custom-made Play Button. This unique award was crafted in the shape of the YouTuber’s iconic logo and made from crystal. He revealed the Play Button in March 2024:

“YouTube sent us this 200,000,000 subscriber award.”

YouTube has not announced any plans to create a special subscriber Play Button for Jimmy upon reaching the 300 million milestone, a feat he is uniquely the only YouTuber to have achieved. With an average daily subscriber growth of 200K, he is projected to surpass 400 million subscribers later this year.

Currently, he is hosting his largest game show to date, Beast Games, which is inspired by Netflix’s hit series Squid Game. The show is available for streaming on Prime Video.
