Here is a list of the top eight Instagram users, including celebrities and sports stars. In no particular order, they&#8217;re listed alphabetically: Virat Kolhi, Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, Dwayne Johnson, and many more. Find out how they got their high follower numbers, and why you should follow them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virat_Kolhi\"><\/span>Virat Kolhi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli has the highest number of followers on Instagram, with over 200 million. He is the first Indian sportsperson to reach this milestone, and is the third-most-followed athlete on the social media platform. Other sports icons with high number of followers on Instagram include Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. Here are some interesting facts about Virat Kohli&#8217;s following on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Virat Kohli&#8217;s latest milestone in Instagram has come as no surprise. The former Indian cricket captain has surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who both have over 200 million followers. It is still unclear whether Kohli&#8217;s achievement is indicative of the cricketing world&#8217;s popularity in general, but it is certainly a milestone to be proud of. And while there are plenty of sportsmen with large numbers of followers on Instagram, cricket doesn&#8217;t have as many fans as soccer or football.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kylie_Jenner\"><\/span>Kylie Jenner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Thursday, Kylie Jenner hit a milestone as the most followed woman on Instagram. The reality star surpassed the previous record held by Ariana Grande, who has 289 million followers. The three-year-old entrepreneur is now the second most followed person in the world, right behind Cristiano Ronaldo. However, it&#8217;s not clear how long she&#8217;ll keep the high-profile status.<\/p>\n<p>While Kylie Jenner has a busy schedule with several companies, a big TV presence, and many fans, she doesn&#8217;t post on her own account very often. Yet her photos are enough to earn her millions of likes. The latest picture has 155.6 million views, and more than 24 million likes. The photo was shared on September 7, the day after the tragic Astroworld concert in Orlando. It&#8217;s now the fifth most liked post on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selena_Gomez\"><\/span>Selena Gomez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wondered why Selena Gomez has the highest number of Instagram followers, there&#8217;s probably a good reason for that. The star&#8217;s health crisis brought the spotlight back to her. While she had to take time off from music to deal with her lupus, Selena has kept her fans on Instagram and her profile updated. The fact that Selena is Latina and doesn&#8217;t speak Spanish is a bonus for her appeal to a broader audience. Compared to fellow pop stars like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, Selena&#8217;s diversity is greater.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Instagram community, Selena Gomez has 89.3 million followers, which beats out Taylor Swift, who had 89.2 million. Gomez is closely followed by Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, and Justin Bieber. She&#8217;s still the highest-followed celeb, but has become more accessible to everyday people who use social media.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dwayne_Johnson\"><\/span>Dwayne Johnson<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dwayne Johnson has surpassed 200 million followers on Instagram. The pro wrestler and box office star is now the most followed man in the United States. He once earned the title of the&#8217;sexiest man alive.&#8217; However, his career has taken a different direction since moving from the world of sports to the world of acting. Forbes recently ranked Johnson the highest paid actor in Hollywood for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The movie star has a number of unconventional uses for his Instagram account. Most recently, he announced the cast of his upcoming sitcom, Young Rock, by cutting out the middleman and revealing the cast members directly to his followers. The actor also made a historic political declaration last month. For those who don&#8217;t follow Johnson on Instagram, he&#8217;s probably the most influential American man.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ariana_Grande\"><\/span>Ariana Grande<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is no surprise that Ariana Grande has the highest followers on Instagram. After all, the singer recently overtook Selena Gomez to become the most followed woman on the social media site, grabbing over 146 million followers. However, there&#8217;s still a long way to go before she surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo as the most followed human. While Grande is now the highest-followed woman on the website, there are a few other famous people who have higher numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Although Ariana Grande is notoriously private about her love life, she has recently shared a photo of herself and new boyfriend Dalton Gomez with her fans. In addition, sharing pictures of yourself with other successful celebrities can help grow your fan base. Among her most liked posts are pictures of her and BLACKPINK, who are active members of the Black Lives Matter movement. Whether it&#8217;s an album release, concert or music video, you can be sure that the pictures will go viral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Has Highest Followers on Instagram?
