Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes First Person Ever to Pass 400M Followers on Instagram

Manchester United star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has surpassed 400 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first person ever to do so.

In September 2021, the forward had 237 million followers that made him the most followed man on the application, an amount that has since grew exponentially in a matter of months.

With 3242 posts, he has an average of 10 million ‘likes’ for each one and only follows 500 users. 

Kylie Jenner is second in the rankings with over 308 million followers, with Lionel Messi sitting in third with 306 million.

Ronaldo, who celebrated his 37th birthday only a couple of days ago, thanked all his fans for the wishes on the popular social media platform.

“Life is a roller coaster. Hard work, high speed, urgent goals, demanding expectations… But in the end, it all comes down to family, love, honesty, friendship, values that make it all worth it. Thanks for all the messages! 37 and counting! (sic)”, he wrote on Twitter.

Popular British broadcaster, Piers Morgan, shared a picture with himself and the Manchester United forward on Twitter.

He wrote, ⁩”Congratulations on becoming the first human being ever to reach 400 million followers on Instagram. The undisputed social media goat, p.s he only follows 500 people, including me… he knows a good grammer when he sees one.”
