YouTube star MrBeast has officially surpassed Addison Rae on TikTok, becoming the platform’s fourth most-followed creator.
Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is best known for his sprawling YouTube empire. The famous creator became the most-subscribed YouTuber back in 2022, officially beating out PewDiePie’s long-standing record on the site.
Hailed for his massive projects, charitable works, and viral videos, it makes sense that MrBeast is now the undisputed ‘king’ of YouTube… but fans were quick to notice that he might rule another platform very soon.
In May of 2023, fans became aware that MrBeast’s official TikTok account was quickly climbing the top of the rankings and launched an initiative to get him to the number one spot on the video-sharing app.
Now, it looks like MrBeast’s TikTok account has made a major stride in fans’ efforts to catapult him to the top.

Addison Rae is a massively popular influencer who rose to stardom on TikTok. However, since achieving viral fame, she’s gone on to launch a music career and even appear in several films, one of which is set to release in theaters this Thanksgiving.
It’s also worth noting that Rae hasn’t posted to her TikTok account in nearly three months – but in that timeframe, MrBeast has managed to overtake her to stand as the app’s fourth most-followed account.
In front of MrBeast sits Bella Poarch in third place, Charli D’Amelio in second, and Khaby Lame in the top spot.
MrBeast responded to the situation on Twitter/X, saying that he “should probably start posting more on TikTok, whoops.”
