10 most followed Instagram accounts in the world, as of January, 2022
1. Instagram (@instagram). Followers: 461M
Yes, the official handle of Instagram itself comes out tops among the most-followed accounts on the platform, boasting over 461 million followers going into 2022
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano). Followers: 390M
Cristiano Ronaldo has had a great couple of years. Since making his grand comeback to Manchester United, Ronaldo’s star (and following) have both continued to rise. The first individual to reach 200 million followers on the platform, he should be crossing that 400 million mark any time now.
3. Kylie Jenner (@kyliejenner). Followers: 301M
Despite just falling behind Leo Messi in the most followed category near the end of 2021, the woman behind Kylie Cosmetics, Kylie Skin, Kylie Swim, Kylie Baby and more reclaimed her number three spot, and was also the first woman to break 300 million followers on the app. She’s also still the most-followed woman in the world, so don’t get too comfortable, Ronaldo. The race to 500 million is on.
4. Lionel Messi (@leomessi). Followers: 300M
Another entry in football’s G.O.A.T. conversation, one of Ronaldo’s biggest rivals in the football would happens to be one of CR7’s biggest on the ‘Gram, as well. Breaking the 300 million mark himself going into 2022, the Argentine forward has proven himself quite adept at the social media game, going neck-and-neck with Kylie Jenner for that #3 spot.
5. Dwayne Johnson (@therock). Followers: 290M
In another neck-and-neck battle for Instagram dominance, The People’s Champ and Ariana Grande continue battling it out for the 5th most-followed spot, seemingly changing positions every few weeks or so. Currently, it goes to Hollywood movie star, tequila mogul, future presidential candidate and former WWE champion The Rock, who has built his ever-increasing following with a candid look inside his life and by offering an endless supply of workout and lifestyle motivation
6. Ariana Grande (@arianagrande). Followers: 290M
Who doesn’t want to follow Ariana Grande? The Grammy-winning singer and coach on The Voice has had an eventful few years that have kept people paying attention. Grande became the most followed musician on the platform in 2019, and with a feed filled with teasers of what’s to come (and the occasional look back at what got her there), she doesn’t appear to be giving up that title any time soon.
7. Selena Gomez (@selenagomez). Followers: 289M
Gomez’s feed is an interesting mix of notes about her human rights activism, beauty brand Rare, her work in film and music, a creative side (such as her many beautiful shoot images), and the many things she’s so passionate about. Of late, she’s also been using her platform to talk about mental health, citing her own ups and downs and encouraging followers to educate themselves on the importance of mental fitness.
8. Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian). Followers: 279M
Despite being one of the most famous faces in the world, Kim has only grown more interesting in her post-Kanye West life, and it’s no surprise to see Kim Kardashian in the top ten. While Keeping Up with the Kardashians may have said farewell after 20 seasons, Kim continues to stay in the headlines, with no sign of slowing down. And with a new Kardashian-Jenner Hulu show in the works, we’ll still be seeing plenty of Kim for a long time to come.
9. Beyoncé (@beyonce). Followers: 232M
Still flawless after all this time, there will only ever be one Beyoncé. The singer-actress-songwriter-producer-dancer-businesswoman-director-and-more changed the way artists release albums forever with Lemonade, and Queen Bey has found a way to toe the line between larger-than-life superstardom while still giving us the occasional intimate glimpse into her and her family’s world through social media.
10. Justin Bieber (@justinbieber). Followers: 216M
The Canadian singer-songwriter’s Instagram feed has seen quite a transformation over the last few years. His journey from a teen sensation to troubled youngster and eventually growing into a deeply spiritual and religious personality has been well documented on his account. His posts generally feature him honing his skills as a performer, a few uplifting quotes, and adorable pictures with his wife Hailey Baldwin.
