Currently, Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person, with more than 100 million. Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez are tied for second place, with 289 million followers each. But it&#8217;s not all about celebrities. Dwayne Johnson, Rihanna, and Selena Gomez also have millions of followers each. So how do they compare to each other?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selena_Gomez\"><\/span>Selena Gomez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Selena Gomez shares the top spot with a number of multifaceted and hyper relevant celebrities, her fervor for double-tapping and posting screenshots to social media is the stuff of fan fiction. Fans of the young pop star take it to a new level by printing out Selena&#8217;s Instagrams and canvassing their neighborhoods with them. Some fans even go so far as to print out photos of themselves as the star of the hit show, Barney.<\/p>\n<p>According to social media analytics firm Statista, Selena Gomez has the most followers on Instagram, surpassing Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Kim Kardashian West, and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, she is far from alone. Selena Gomez&#8217;s growth on Instagram has been accompanied by a string of recent viral videos and other posts, making her a top contender for the top spot.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kylie_Jenner\"><\/span>Kylie Jenner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a model and entrepreneur, Kylie Jenner has amassed a significant amount of Instagram followers. Her pictures, which often feature her daughter Stormi, have received millions of likes. In fact, Jenner&#8217;s first Instagram post garnered 18 million likes. That record has since been broken numerous times, including a recent post showing an egg, which has garnered more than 55.7 million likes.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Instagram announced that Kylie Jenner has hit a new record. She is now the second-most-followed person in the world, trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo. At the time of this writing, the official Instagram account had 460 million followers. However, this number is constantly rising. Despite her popularity, Jenner has kept a relatively low profile on social media after her Astroworld Festival performance.<\/p>\n<p>The newest record was set by Kylie Jenner, who now has 300 million Instagram followers, surpassing Ariana Grande, who had 289 million. Jenner has maintained a low profile on the site for months, but has recently been boosted by the recent birth of her daughter Stormi. As a result, Stormi became the most liked picture on Instagram, racking up 18.6 million likes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dwayne_Johnson\"><\/span>Dwayne Johnson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After Cristiano Ronaldo, who has two hundred million followers, and Ariana Grande, with 203 million followers, Dwayne Johnson has the most Instagram following of any American man. Those numbers may seem small, but they are indicative of years of work, business savvy, and personal branding that have contributed to Johnson&#8217;s massive social media following. He is the highest-paid actor in Hollywood for the second year in a row, and his continued success is an inspiration to us all.<\/p>\n<p>The actor has surpassed the 200 million-follower mark on Instagram and has more than 300 million followers overall. Johnson posted a photo to celebrate his new milestone, wearing a white shirt and bow tie, toasting his fans with Teremana tequila. His popularity on social media has gotten him a lot of attention, and he recently endorsed a Democratic candidate. If you&#8217;re new to social media, here&#8217;s a little about Dwayne Johnson.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rihanna\"><\/span>Rihanna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While pursuing a solo music career, Rihanna has also ventured into film. She has appeared in movies such as Battleship, Home, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Despite her fame, she doesn&#8217;t hide her use of Instagram. The singer posts to her story multiple times a day, promoting her latest ventures and attracting 87 million followers. Here&#8217;s a look at some of the reasons why Rihanna has the most Instagram followers.<\/p>\n<p>As far as a celebrity&#8217;s Instagram account goes, the Barbadian singer and entrepreneur is the most popular user. Rihanna has over eighty million followers, and her username is @badgalriri. Her influence score is 88, and her posts have a total of 1.8 million engagements.
