Ronaldo broke a world record by becoming the first person to reach one million subscribers on YouTube just a few hours after launching his channel. He shared a video on X unboxing the “golden button” he received from the video streaming platform.
In the video, Ronaldo surprises a group of kids with gold buttons. The kids can be seen jumping up and down with delight after learning about the buttons. Ronaldo shared the video on X, commenting, “A gift for my family. Thank you SIUUUbscribers!”
