The answer may surprise you. There are plenty of celebrities, including Ellen DeGeneres, Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Katy Perry, who all have a large following. However, if you&#8217;re wondering who has the most Twitter followers, here are a few examples to inspire you. We&#8217;ve compiled the top three lists for each of them and you&#8217;ll be sure to find a celebrity you can follow.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_DeGeneres\"><\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ellen DeGeneres has the most Twitter followers among all celebrities, and for good reason. She is a comedian and talk show host, and she posts on the site daily. Her followers are so massive that a mere five percent of the total number of Twitter accounts can keep up. She has more than a million followers, so her presence is highly likely to remain in the top ten for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>While Rowling has the highest number of Twitter followers, she has recently lost her following due to an attack on her reputation. The book author recently rebranded herself as an expert on trans life, comparing the healthcare options available for trans youth with conversion therapy. The Ellen DeGeneres brand has also been hit by countless accusations of toxicity. One producer, Kevin T Porter, branded her as one of the &#8220;meanest people alive&#8221; in a winding Twitter thread. DeGeneres has also fired a number of producers after an internal investigation uncovered several allegations of toxic behavior.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Bieber\"><\/span>Justin Bieber<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the past few years, he has gotten even more famous. His biggest hit, &#8220;Baby&#8221;, has made him one of the most popular stars on the planet. With his growing popularity, his fashion sense and style have changed as well. The pop star has now amassed more than 33 million followers on Twitter, surpassing the 25 million mark set by Lady Gaga. Other notable Twitter followers include Queen Latifah, Iggy Azalea, and Jaden Smith. Bieber has overtaken Lady Gaga, who is now in third place, while Rihanna and Katy Perry are tied for second place. Other notable users who follow Justin Bieber include Barack Obama, Rihanna, and Queen Latifah. In eighth place are Iggy Azalea, Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears.<\/p>\n<p>Former U.S. President Barack Obama is the most followed Twitter user, with over 131 million followers. Justin Bieber, meanwhile, has the second-highest following, at 103 million. As of August 2017, Justin Bieber was the second most-followed person on Twitter, behind Katy Perry and Rihanna. While it&#8217;s still difficult to gauge whether Justin Bieber is the best choice for this task, he does have a fan base that is wildly loyal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Katy_Perry\"><\/span>Katy Perry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The singer Katy Perry has reached the milestone of one hundred million followers on Twitter. Her massive fan base is impressive, but her recent surge of more than 40 million followers over the last two years makes her the reigning Twitter queen. Katy Perry is now confirmed by Guinness World Records as having the most Twitter followers among females. Justin Bieber is not far behind with 72.9 million followers. It&#8217;s unclear who will become the next Twitter megastar, but we can expect her fan base to continue to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being the most followed Twitter account, Katy Perry has not posted new music since 2011. Her number of followers will likely increase when she releases new songs. After a few years of not releasing new music, fans are eager to hear it. Katy Perry and her label put their money behind promotion of new music, which helps to keep her fans interested. However, it is unclear if she will use Twitter as her primary social networking site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kim_Kardashian\"><\/span>Kim Kardashian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a world where celebrity status is the key to success, Kim Kardashian has done just that. Her social media accounts have grown to 313 million followers on Instagram and 72.5 million on Twitter. She is consistently in the top 10 most-followed accounts and receives thousands of comments on each of her posts. Not only has she built a billion-dollar empire, but she has also managed to launch her own beauty line, perfume line, and shapewear line.<\/p>\n<p>While Kourtney Kardashian has a modest following of 26.5 million, Kim has nearly seventy million followers. Of these, 36.3 million of them are fake, while only 14% are real. Kylie and Kendall have almost the same number of followers, but their following is considerably smaller than Kim. In addition to being the most famous celebrity, Kim is the most recognizable person on Twitter, and her profile is followed by more than eight million other people, including many fans of other celebrities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ronaldo\"><\/span>Ronaldo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Football star Cristiano Ronaldo is the top celebrity on Twitter, with more than 100 million followers. He is followed by Argentine football player Lionel Messi, the current US president, and Brazilian footballer Nimas Jr. The following is rounded up by the fact that former NBA player LeBron James has more than 50 million followers, and American singer Katy Perry has 84 million followers. However, there are still some gaps to be filled before Ronaldo catches Katy Perry, who has 57.5 million followers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Ronaldo, Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is also on Twitter, with 215 million followers. Dwayne The Rock Johnson, the highest-paid actor in the world, has more than two hundred million followers. Other notable athletes on Twitter include Ariana Grande, LeBron James, Neymar Junior, and Ronaldinho. Ronaldo&#8217;s Twitter following is so vast, it&#8217;s hard to keep up with him.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"517\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has the Most Followers on Twitter?
