With
Instagram closing in on its 10th birthday next year, some celebrities have done
better than others with the social media platform. Today, we’re going to break
down the most followed celebrities by their field. These statistics are
accurate as of December 20, 2019. Let’s take a look!
Most
Followed Account
Firstly,
the most followed account on Instagram is…well, it’s the Instagram official account.
This feels a little like cheating (and a bit like Tom,
who was everybody’s friend on Myspace), but they have amassed an impressive 322
million followers.
Most
Followed Musician
Which
musician has attracted the attention of the masses on Instagram? It’s actually Ariana
Grande
with a whopping 169 million followers. At the age of 26, Grande keeps going
from strength to strength and has actually been in the spotlight for eleven
years having first appeared on Broadway in 2008.
Most
Followed Actor
We
know, Ariana Grande has done plenty of acting, but she is probably now
considered a singer. Therefore, the most followed actor award goes to none
other than Dwayne Johnson. With 165 million followers, Johnson made his name
originally in the WWF and WWE. These days, he appears in global franchises like
Jumanji.
Most
Followed Sports Star
Not
only is Cristiano Ronaldo the most followed sports star on Instagram, he has
the most followed account after the official Instagram page. Boasting 193
million followers, he alone has more followers than the club he plays for, Juventus.
In terms of American sports stars, the top spot goes to LeBron James with 54
million (quite some difference!)
Most
Followed Reality Star
To
nobody’s surprise, this title is shared by Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian.
With both having 154 million followers, they’re best known for the reality show
Keeping Up with the Kardashians. However, both have launched many
business ventures between them and Jenner
even became a billionaire
as a result of these ventures.
Most
Followed Brand
Who
do people love more than any other brand (and Instagram)? It’s actually the
National Geographic page. Surprisingly, people from all over the world love the
stunning shots of the natural universe offered by National Geographic and they
now have 128 million followers.
Most
Followed Comedian
This title goes to the talented Kevin Hart, and his follower count may just increase again when his docuseries is released next week. It has been an eventful couple of years for the comedian, and most of his 82 million followers have remained loyal through it all.
There
we have it, the most followed accounts by job role in the celebrity world. Just
in case you’re interested in more Instagram facts to see in the ten-year
anniversary celebrations, Stormi Webster was the subject of the most-liked
Instagram post. However, at the beginning of 2019, this was overtaken by a
picture of an egg. You read that right, it’s a simple egg with a white
background and it’s now the most-liked picture in Instagram history!
