The 10 Most Followed Instagram Accounts In The World

Who gets the most likes? We find out.

 

Instagram

The number one spot on Instagram goes to, well, Instagram. With over 448 million followers, the social online community follows and checks in to see what's new, what's trending and what they should be following.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Famed footballer Cristiano Ronaldo takes the number two spot and the number one spot as most followed actual person on Instagram. Why? Well, his range of motivational tips, candid shots of his private life and action shots on the pitch seem to resonate with 375 Million people.

Lionel Messi

In the third spot with 288 Million followers is Argentine Captain and Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi. While his page is mostly on-pitch action shots, there are the occasional family snap and brand partner campaign to enjoy too.

 

Kylie Jenner

We have to admit that we thought Queen of Lip Kits, Kylie Jenner would be further up the list but here we are at number four with 287 Million followers. Anyone who knows the family brand will know what to expect - from breaking pregnancy news to showing her enormous closet - her followers are growing as quickly as her brood.

Dwayne Johnson

Ah, we love The Rock and it seems that 282 Million of you do too. Actor, professional wrestler, tequila maker and all round good guy - while we don't try and recreate his epic workouts, we like to watch them, and his daily good deeds, from afar.

Ariana Grande

Just behind The Rock is Singer, Actress and all-round Super-star, Ariana Grande. At just 28 years old, she's faced a tumultuous break-up, a horrific incident during her Manchester Concert and struggled with her mental health but all this has led to her being followed and adored by 280 Million 'grammers.

Selena Gomez

Another Singer and Actress who has faced her share of struggles, mainly a kidney transplant and depression, is Selena Gomez who sits snugly in at number seven with 278 Million followers.

Kim Kardashian 

It must be an interesting discussion over at the Kardashian compound when little sister Kylie, tells the one who started the families fame, Kim, she has nearly 20 Million more followers. But anyhoo, the soon to be ex-Mrs West uses her platform to sell her SKIMS, post updates of her growing family and push her political messages.

Beyonce

Pick our jaws off the floor with shock that Queen B is in at number nine, behind her rumoured rival, Kim K, by 46 Million followers. Well, it's true but she still boasts 222 Million followers who love updates on her Ivy Park brand, family shots of her and Jay Z and of course, shots on stage.

Justin Bieber

Sneaking in at number 10 is the Beebs with 208 Million followers. The once-troubled young man turned husband and entrepreneur uses his platform to give words of wisdom, talk about his strong religious beliefs, show his Drew House brand and give a peek into his super-sweet marriage.
