So who is following them? Read on to find out. Listed below are the top 100 sportspeople on Twitter. You may be surprised by who you find at the top. And who doesn&#8217;t like footballers? There&#8217;s even a list of famous athletes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rihanna\"><\/span>Rihanna<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The singer Rihanna has the most followers on Twitter, outshining billionaires like Elon Musk. Rihanna is a billionaire in the making, according to Forbes. The singer is also known for her lingerie line, Fenty Beauty. The singer has more than 106 million followers on Twitter. She posted a video of herself applying makeup to promote her Fenty Beauty line while pregnant. In May, Rihanna gave birth to her first child with her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky.<\/p>\n<p>Rihanna has the most followers on Twitter, but the list isn&#8217;t as interesting as it sounds. According to Forbes magazine, Rihanna is just two million followers away from surpassing Donald Trump, who had 88.8 million followers on January 8, 2021. As of this writing, Rihanna is the youngest self-made billionaire in the United States. Her fortune is estimated to be around 1,400 million dollars.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wayne_Rooney\"><\/span>Wayne Rooney<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>English soccer player Wayne Rooney has the most Twitter followers. The former Everton forward joined the social network in April 2011 and has accumulated 17.1 million followers. The former Manchester United player has won several trophies and is one of the all-time Premier League scorers. He has also tweeted a lot on his personal account, from emotional posts about Whitney Houston to mistranslated text messages. Rooney has a large following on Twitter and his posts have become increasingly popular with fans.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne Rooney has more Twitter followers than any other UK athlete. He has more followers than tennis champion Andy Murray, Olympic diver Tom Daley, and Prime Minister David Cameron, who has 813,000 followers. Rooney&#8217;s following is bigger than the following of pop star Katy Perry, who has 1.44 million followers. Wayne Rooney has more Twitter followers than a pop star, as he follows more than five million people.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cristiano_Ronaldo\"><\/span>Cristiano Ronaldo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a sports fan, you&#8217;re probably wondering who has the most Twitter followers. While it&#8217;s true that celebrities have a lot of followers, Cristiano Ronaldo is far ahead of these celebs. Ronaldo has over 100 million followers, edging out NBA superstar Kevin Durant, who has 8.17 million followers. He still has a ways to go to catch Katy Perry, who has over 57.5 million followers.<\/p>\n<p>UEFA&#8217;s annual football benchmark report includes social media as a measurement of how popular a player is. According to a report by Twitter, Cristiano Ronaldo has over 102 million followers on his personal Twitter account. The same is true of Lionel Messi, who has 375 million followers but does not have a Twitter account. Rihanna, meanwhile, has almost half as many followers as Ronaldo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LeBron_James\"><\/span>LeBron James<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The fact that LeBron James has the most followers on the micro-blogging platform has been a matter of great debate. Several players have been criticized for their performance, and James has recently come under fire for a tweet he made that was used against him. However, many people seem to believe that the star player is just as important on social media as he is on the court. So what is it about James that makes him so special?<\/p>\n<p>The basketball star is arguably the most popular athlete in the world. He is the highest-paid athlete in the world, earning more than $1 billion during his 18-year career. He has also been successful in the business world, with his own clothing lines and even an acting career. Despite all of his successes, James&#8217; Twitter followers remain small compared to his other responsibilities. However, it is hard to ignore the positive impact he has had on the sport.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kim_Kardashian\"><\/span>Kim Kardashian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian have massive Twitter followings, but Kim has the most. The two sisters have nearly 60 million followers, and the eldest has more than half that number, which makes her the Twitter queen. Kylie has 32.3 million followers, which makes her second, and Kim has a staggering 64.5 million. So who is the Twitter queen? Read on to find out! And, remember: Twitter followers aren&#8217;t all real! These celebrities are also real!<\/p>\n<p>The sister duo of the Kardashian clan have over 313 million Instagram followers, and Kim has nearly 72.5 million followers on Twitter. This makes her one of the most popular accounts in the world, and often draws thousands of comments on her posts. She&#8217;s managed to build a billion-dollar empire, a mobile game, a beauty line, and a popular shapewear brand. Those are huge numbers, and it&#8217;s no wonder they&#8217;re on top of the list of Twitter users.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"364\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has the Most Followers on Twitter?
