Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has made a new record but not in his field of sport. Cristiano Ronaldo has been the most followed person on Instagram for quite some time now.

However, he has recently become the first person to cross the 500 million mark on Instagram. With Fifa being the most followed sport globally, the first two spots on the list of the top 10 most followed people on the gram are taken by the two biggest FIFA players, Ronaldo & Messi. Lionel Messi stands second with more than 378 million followers.

Instagram has become a very crucial social media platform for celebrities to stay connected with their fans and to generate business through brands that are looking to tap into their fan base.
