Celebrities With the Highest Instagram Followers

Over history, fame was measured in different ways – in the age of the internet, this measure is social media.

Anyone can go viral and get their 15 seconds of fame online but to form a truly big and devoted following, it takes time, effort… and, of course, a large and devoted following in the real world as well – like the people below.

3. Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has first made a name for himself in the ring – he is a successful professional wrestler with dozens of titles to his name. After a few minor appearances on the screen, he made his ‘serious’ acting debut as the protagonist of “The Scorpion King”, a 2002 action-adventure movie that immediately put him on the Hollywood map. Since then, he has become one of the most beloved action movie actors of our time.

And his Instagram presence is also attractive for his audience… well, 224 million of them, making him the third most-followed person on the platform.

 

2. Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande made a few forays into acting during the last decade… but it’s her career as a singer that put her in the spotlight. Her success story is the one every teenager is dreaming about: her YouTube covers were discovered by a bunch of producers and offered her a contract.

Since her debut, Ariana Grande recorded five studio albums, won two Grammy awards, nine MTV Video Music Awards, and amassed a 228-million-strong Instagram following.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

Surprising as it may sound, the most-followed person on Instagram is not a socialité, an actor or a singer… but a football player: Cristiano Ronaldo. If you’ve ever used the Betway app you are likely familiar with his name: every time he steps on the turf, Betway’s odds bend in his team’s favour. Cristiano Ronaldo is widely considered the best football player of our time – but he is more than that: he is a philanthropist who has supported a variety of causes over his career.

And he is the most-followed person on Instagram with 271 million followers.
