The YouTube Creator Awards honor creators and channels for achieving historic milestones, from the Silver Creator Award to the extraordinary Red Diamond Creator Award and beyond. As the leader in modern custom awards and high-end exclusive trophies, Society Awards designs and produces these prestigious milestone markers; an honor we’ve held since 2015 with the introduction of the Diamond Creator Award.
One creator that continues to push the limit on content and subscribers is none other than Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast. He achieved 400 million subscribers as of June 1st, 2025 – and doesn’t show signs of slowing down. To celebrate his achievements, let’s break down MrBeast’s incredible climb and the milestone awards earned along the way.
Silver YouTube Creator Award
They say the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and in February 2012, MrBeast uploaded his first YouTube video at the age of 13. It would take MrBeast 4 years to achieve his first 100,000 subscribers, accomplishing this feat in July 2016. This earned him the Silver YouTube Creator. The Silver Creator Award was redesigned in 2018 to its current look and is made of aluminum with a high-end silver electroplating finish over top.
Gold YouTube Creator Award
Less than a year later, in May 2017, MrBeast would hit 1 million subscribers. This quick milestone climb would soon become common for him and earned him the Gold Creator Award. Made of aluminum with high-end gold electroplating, the YouTube Gold Creator Award redesign was launched in 2018 alongside the Silver Creator Award. Each Silver and Gold Creator Award is engraved with Channel name, achievement message, and hand polished before being shipped to the recipient. Our Concierge team is there to help each channel every step of the way for a seamless luxury experience.
Diamond YouTube Creator Award
In November 2018, MrBeast reached 10 million subscribers and received the Diamond YouTube Creator Award. Society Awards collaborated with YouTube to create the new milestone trophy, announcing it at VidCon 2015. At the time, only 35 channels, like famed creator PewDiePie, qualified for the award. The Diamond Creator Award is crafted from a solid block of aluminum sculpted in the shape of the YouTube logo in 3D with a hand-fitted crystal play button centerpiece. The faceted and hand polished luster of the Diamond Creator Award set the stage for future prestigious Creator Awards and is a dazzling beacon for ambitious creators.

Custom Lucite Acrylic Award
MrBeast achieved 50 million subscribers in the first week of 2021 and was presented with a custom award designed just for him, in partnership with Society Awards and his team. Society Awards is trusted globally for our ability to turn logos or iconic mascots into prestigious awards. Our talented design team immersed themselves in MrBeast’s bold electrifying visual identity to create the MrBeast Blue Lucite Acrylic sculpture with red lightning bolt eyes, all in the style of his iconic logo. The custom sculpture is anchored by a sleek black Lucite base for contrast and presentation.

Red Diamond YouTube Creator Award
His meteoric rise unstoppable, MrBeast joined an exclusive club of creators and channels by reaching 100 million subscribers in July 2022 and earned himself the coveted Red Diamond Creator Award. This prestigious award is crafted in partnership with famed historic French luxury crystal house, Baccarat, and features the brand’s proprietary red crystal set in a polished black nickel aluminum frame. The coveted Baccarat red is obtained by a gradual fusion of clear crystal and 24 Karat Gold. Currently, only 14 channels have achieved this monumental milestone, yet there is an even more exclusive club than this.
Tiger's Eye YouTube Creator Award
We now enter a realm where only 2 channels have walked: 200 million subscribers. MrBeast continued his trajectory by hitting this major milestone in October 2023 and was awarded 2 trophies – a new creator award and a new custom award made just for him.
The Tiger’s Eye YouTube Creator Award was first achieved by the channel T-Series in 2021. The prized faceted and polished black nickel and aluminum trophy shares the same 3D YouTube logo design as the Red Diamond Creator Award but no longer has the Baccarat Red Crystal as the center piece. In its place, a rare and exception piece of Tiger’s Eye gemstone boldly stands out with a deep rich golden to red-brown coloration to set it apart from the red crystal counterpart.
Custom Diamond Logo Award
Society Awards collaborated with YouTube to create a 200 Million Subscriber Custom Award for MrBeast, a unique and modern trophy like his previous 50 million subscriber award. Our team once again used his iconic logo as the basis but challenged ourselves to create a distinctive and bespoke final design. Drawing inspiration from the Red Diamond Creator Award, this custom award is shaped like the famed ferocious Beast head, with a faceted and polished silver surface. The diamond-like shine of the award is further accented with a silver and red layered base and red lightning bolts for the eyes to evoke the Baccarat red crystal.

Malachite YouTube Creator Award
With MrBeast’s unmatched creativity and global influence, in July 2024 he accomplished what no other channel has done before – be the first to reach 300 million subscribers.
The 300 million milestone achievement is the Malachite YouTube Creator Award. For this new Creator Award, Society Awards took inspiration from one of our own highly treasured awards, the Limited Edition Malachite Obelisk. Like our obelisk, the Malachite Creator Award features superior quality gemstone with tight swirling shades of rich green and minimal inclusions, matching perfectly with the black nickel aluminum finish. The alluring color and characteristics of Malachite has drawn people to it for centuries to use in décor, jewelry, and even architecture, and is now a part of the YouTube Creator Award lineage.
Lapis Lazuli YouTube Creator Award
Finally, the recently revealed 400 million design, the Lapis Lazuli YouTube Creator Award. After hitting 400 million subscribers in 2025, the Lapis Lazuli YouTube Creator Award was presented to MrBeast by YouTube CEO Neal Mohan. Prized for its intense color, Lapis Lazuli gemstone is an aggregate of several minerals; most importantly lazurite, which gives it the iconic blue shade, pyrite, which gives it the gold streaks, and calcite. The striking color and design of the Lapis Lazuli Creator Award makes it a welcomed addition to the gemstone line of YouTube Creator Awards, while setting it apart from all others
The Next Creator Award
Since reaching 400 million subscribers in June 2025, it won’t be long until MrBeast achieves 500 million subscribers, or even soon enough maybe a 1 billion subscribers award! When this happens, Society Awards will be there to help craft a prestigious award for the ages.
