Nike, the top company on our list, has clearly seen the value of having a robust social media presence. Instead of merely checking a box, their account serves as a tutorial in how to operate a successful one.

13. Khloé Kardashian(190m followers)

She and her family have had a lot of success on the site, posting about their daily lives, companies, and hobbies.

12. National Geographic (188m followers)

National Geographic, a magazine about nature, is another name on the list.

Unsurprisingly, stunning photos and videos from throughout the world have proven popular among consumers.

11. Kendall Jenner (195m followers)

The next person we have is the model Kendall Jenner.

10. Justin Bieber (200m followers)

Here’s a look at Justin Bieber. It’s no wonder he made the cut, given his status as one of the most popular music singers in the world.

His Instagram is a little goofier than the usual pop star’s, with images of him hanging out with celebrities, cartoon versions of himself, and, of course, his April Fools pregnancy hoax.

9. The pop singer Beyoncé (214m followers)

Then there’s the real deal: Beyoncé.

Her pregnancy announcement was the most-liked Instagram post before it made the list.

Most of her postings feature photos from her concerts and professional activities, but there are also some more personal ones sprinkled throughout.

The most well-known of the Kardashians and Jenners, and the second-to-last on the list.

6. Ariana Grande (2m followers)

Ariana Grande, the global pop sensation, rounds off the list.

As one of the world’s most renowned and well-liked singers, it’s only logical that she’d be so well-liked on Instagram.

Photos of her performing, meeting other celebs and generally enjoying the pop star high life fill her Instagram account.

5.  Lionel Messi (274m followers)

Argentina’s national football team, soccer star Lionel Messi, is next on our list.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is the only wrestler from the United States to make the top twenty.

His 4th place finish comes as a result of his success as a WWE star turned actor.

There aren’t many surprises on his account — he shares images from filming, gym pictures, and updates about his family.

3. Kylie Jenne (276m followers)

Despite the fact that she didn’t make the cut, Kylie Kenner is the most well-known Instagram user. She once topped the list of most-liked Instagram posts, and she’s now in the top 20 on a number of occasions.

On her account, you’ll see photographs of her family, including her newborn kid, as well as work.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo (356m followers)

Finally, we’ve arrived at our most popular Instagram user: soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s a star forward for Juventus and Portugal’s national team captain, and he’s one of the finest players in the world.

When it comes to his feed, there aren’t many surprises. There are a lot of photographs of him with his family, playing football, and just having a wonderful time in general.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo is the first individual to have 200 million Instagram followers. Nice!

1. Instagram (434m followers)

Instagram’s official account, which is well out in front with 300 million followers, rounds out the top three.

Their feed has a clear goal: to showcase the most intriguing and well-known Instagram users and trends. In addition, they advertise their own IGTV material, which they produce independently.

Will there ever be a social media platform that has more followers than Instagram?

Anything is possible if an egg can defeat Kylie Jenner.
