Cristiano Ronaldo: The king of Instagram just broke a huge social media record   

This is now the ranking

Cristiano Ronaldo is not called the “King of Instagram” by chance, since after his incredibly viral photo with Lionel Messi that made the rounds on the internet, now the Manchester United striker has broken an impressive record on social media.

And officially, Ronaldo is the first Instagram user to surpass 500 million followers . So far only Instagram’s own official profile has reached this theoretical number, with no other user coming close. So if we take this brand profile out of the equation, Cristiano Ronaldo is the Instagram user with the most followers .

In fact, the difference compared to the second place is very large , since Messi follows with 375 million followers, while in third place we have an influencer from a completely different industry, Kylie Jenner, who has 372 million followers.

The 10 Most Popular Instagram Accounts:

  1. Instagram – 568 million followers
