About This Dataset
Most-Followed Instagram Accounts 2026Excluding Instagram's own house account (685 million), footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is the most-followed individual on the platform with about 674 million followers, comfortably ahead of fellow footballer Lionel Messi at 512 million. The two athletes are the only individuals above the half-billion mark. Entertainment figures fill most of the remaining spots: Selena Gomez (404M) leads the musicians and actors, followed by Dwayne Johnson and Kylie Jenner (both 382M) and Ariana Grande (363M). The Kardashian-Jenner family is notably prominent, placing three members in the top ten. The data highlights how global sport, led by two footballers, commands even larger social followings than the biggest names in music and film.
