He is a man for superlatives, even away from the soccer field. Cristiano Ronaldo (34, "Ronaldo"), who is currently lacing up his cleats for Juventus, was the first person to break the 200 million Instagram follower mark. A fact that amazes even the five-time Champions League winner: "Wow, 200 million !!! I thank each and every one of you for sharing this trip with me every day," writes "CR7" for a video that shows his development from the youth kicker to a world star.
As the first woman, US singer Ariana Grande (26) is preparing to go into the Instagram annals. It ranks right behind Ronaldo, albeit at a distance. With its 173 million followers, it will take some time before the hurdle that the footballer has now overcome also falls. In third place is actor Dwayne Johnson (47, 170 million). Ronaldo's constant competitor, Lionel Messi (32), is currently eighth with "only" 141 million Insta followers.
