Jimmy Donaldson, popular YouTuber, also known as MrBeast became the first person to gain over a million followers on Threads, even beating Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Guinness World Record, the record-keeping franchise shared a video of the moment MrBeast reached the 1 million followers mark, with a caption, "The moment @mrbeast reached one million followers on Threads... (yes, this is how we monitored the record) (and yes, it drained the battery from our phone a lot)"
