But why would a former two-term US president have more Twitter followers than an aspiring actor? The answer may surprise you! In this article, we&#8217;ll examine each person&#8217;s Twitter account to determine who&#8217;s the most popular. And while it&#8217;s possible that we&#8217;ll never reach all four of these people, it&#8217;s clear that each person&#8217;s popularity on Twitter can be measured in followers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gareth_Bale\"><\/span>Gareth Bale<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Welsh international, born on 16 July 1989, has the most followers on Twitter. He plays for Real Madrid and the Wales national team. He is widely regarded as one of the best wingers of his generation. Despite his young age, the winger is still regarded as one of the most talented players of his generation. He has also been a highly rated player for Wales and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Wales reached the semi-finals of the European Championships last summer and lost to eventual champions Portugal. This time around, Gareth Bale is leading the Welsh side. His impressive performances on the international stage have made him the man of the moment. But, his career has not been without its setbacks. After leaving Real Madrid at the end of his contract, Bale struggled to settle into a regular role in the Spanish side. During his tenure, he played 258 games for Los Blancos and scored 173 goals directly.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cristiano_Ronaldo\"><\/span>Cristiano Ronaldo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite being a world-renowned football player, Cristiano Ronaldo is also one of the most popular Twitter users, attracting over 30 million followers. His handle is @Cristiano, and he has outstripped football icons Neymar, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry in number of followers. As of October 2014, he is the No 1 Twitter follower in world, a record that he is poised to continue breaking.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of reasons why Ronaldo is the No 1 Twitter follower: his global brand and his ever-impressive goal totals. While the other top tweeters in the world are mostly celebrities, such as Barack Obama, the two players are very different. The former is the most popular sports personality on Twitter, with more than 60 million followers and Messi trailing closely behind. Rihanna, meanwhile, is known for her fierce fashion and her own beauty line Fenty.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Deepika_Padukone\"><\/span>Deepika Padukone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has a massive following on Twitter. The actress has a total of 27.5 million followers and an average like count of 665. The star signed up for the social media platform in January 2010, and she has already amassed a substantial following. She currently has over 20 million followers, which makes her the most popular Indian woman on Twitter. In addition, she uses Twitter sparingly and hasn&#8217;t posted anything inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p>The No 1 follower on Twitter in world is a woman, and she&#8217;s the only Indian on the list. The talented actress made her Bollywood debut in 2007, with the movie &#8216;Dabangg&#8217;, which was the highest-grossing film of the year. Since then, Padukone has proven that she&#8217;s a talented actress. The Bollywood actress&#8217;s Twitter following is so strong that she has surpassed other Asian celebrities, including Agnez Mo, by a substantial margin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roger_Federer\"><\/span>Roger Federer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why Roger Federer is the No. 1 follower on Twitter. The Swiss star has been active on social media since 2011, and his fans are clearly enjoying his posts. He has an impressive list of endorsement deals with major brands, including Rolex, which is worth $15 million. His tie-up with Uniqlo, for example, is worth $300 million. And of course, there are plenty of people following his updates on Twitter, so it&#8217;s easy to see why he has so many fans.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to note that the tennis player has joined Twitter and has nearly a million followers. He originally rejected the social media site just a few days ago when asked about his serve speed. Now, he&#8217;s a Twitter watchdog. And he also doesn&#8217;t want to serve like Ivo Karlovic, who has more than 4.3 million followers. But he&#8217;s got to start somewhere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_DeGeneres\"><\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 79 million people who follow Ellen DeGeneres on Twitter are a testament to her popularity. Her personality and sense of humor have won the hearts of millions. Her show is currently the No. 9 most followed account on Twitter. However, her popularity isn&#8217;t entirely undeserved. Some people are not happy about this development and have taken to Twitter to vent their frustrations.<\/p>\n<p>The media circus surrounding Ellen DeGeneres continues to rage on. This month alone, her Twitter account has lost 18,000 followers. Yet despite her recent tumble, she remains one of the most followed people on the social network. In fact, Ellen DeGeneres is the ninth most followed person on Twitter, with 79.9 million followers. Her Oscar-selfie tweet broke the record for most retweeted tweet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elon_Musk\"><\/span>Elon Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Elon Musk is the most followed person on Twitter, with over 100 million followers. However, not everyone is as popular as Musk. The billionaire has 7% more fake followers than the average Twitter user. A recent study by SparkToro found that Musk has more fake followers than the average Twitter user. The study looked at 25 factors correlated with bots and spam accounts on Twitter. Among these factors are a non-resolving url, no URL, and suspiciously small number of followers.<\/p>\n<p>Musk is a prolific tweeter, posting about his plans for Tesla and SpaceX rocket launches. He tweets multiple times a day on seemingly random topics. His latest tweet was a picture of the gas price at a 7-Eleven, presumably as a test, but it does not reflect what gas prices will be in 2022. Musk also posted a series of tweets about his love for cheese.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"359\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hhaUAhwT8ko\" height=\"201\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the No 1 Follower on Twitter in World?
