Cristiano Ronaldo has made history by becoming the first person to surpass 1 billion followers across his social media platforms. This staggering number encompasses his combined total on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Weibo, and Kuaishou.
While this figure doesn’t represent 1 billion individual followers, due to duplicate accounts and bots, social media expert Paolo Pescatore describes it as a “staggering number” that commands attention from media and brands. Ronaldo’s achievement highlights the significant shift in media and his ability to reach new, younger audiences through technology.
Ronaldo’s social media dominance leaves his rivals in the dust, including his on-pitch rival Lionel Messi, who trails behind with 623 million followers. Other top celebrities with significant social media presence include:
- Selena Gomez – 690 million
- Justin Bieber – 607 million
- Taylor Swift – 574 million
Ronaldo’s unprecedented 1 billion follower milestone solidifies his status as a social media powerhouse, showcasing his immense global influence and appeal.
