Cristiano Ronaldo gains 15 MILLION new Instagram followers in 30 days

The Portuguese superstar, who is the most followed person on Instagram, now boasts 564m fans on the Meta-owned social network. Ronaldo’s star continues to rise despite the five-time Ballon d’Or winner now plying his trade in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr. He did not gain the most followers on Instagram over the course of the last month, with Lottery Texts revealing that said honour goes to American singer/actress Selena Gomez, but the 38-year-old’s global appeal cannot be ignored.

Messi’s PSG team-mate Mbappe has also slipped by over 250,000 followers to leave him on 101m in total, but his stock should continue to rise in the coming years as he attempts to cement his standing as the natural heir to Messi and Ronaldo in the best footballer on the planet stakes.
