@iris.apple
A real icon
A true social media legend, American businesswoman and interior designer Iris Apfel is not only a trendsetter in fashion and interior design, but also an opinion leader. With her 101 years under her belt, she still shares extravagant outfits on her account every day. And never without her legendary glasses, which are her ultimate trademark. As a Granfluencerin, with 2.7 million followers, she has one of the largest communities on the web, who are currently celebrating her trendy nail designs in particular.

Posts that make you smile
These famous grandparents from Taiwan definitely stand out from the crowd. Cool outfits and (mostly) a heartbreaking smile on her face are her trademarks. Hsu Hsiu-e and Chang Wan-ji present outfits with items of clothing that customers forgot in their laundry – sometimes chic, sometimes casual. The two are inspirational for those who are fed up with boring looks and want to learn how to dress cool together as a couple and get everyone’s attention. 712,000 people are following them today. Unfortunately, things have been quiet on her account for the past few weeks because Hsu Hsiu-e passed away in March at the age of 87. Let’s hope her 86-year-old husband carries on and doesn’t lose the fun of modeling.
@erikarischko
Fit in old age? No problem!
Hard to believe, the German Erika Rischko is 83 years old and a real fitness junkie, as she claims. Her likeable Instagram posts polarize in a different way, because she shows what she’s sporty. Her videos and exercises inspire and motivate 116,000 followers. Incidentally, the dance videos with her husband are also wonderful.
@mindconnectionskent
Therapy and Life Advice
Pat Whitson is known on TikTok and Instagram for sharing so-called therapy videos. Her way of speaking is calming and her life advice is uplifting and empowering. In principle, she is the personal coach for the inner workings and not the outer shell. Great wisdom and perspectives that you should definitely take a look at if everything doesn’t seem colorful and happy to you. Pat always has good advice.
@wormrani
Zero waste, plastic-free living and pure nature!
We can learn a lot from these ladies! 61-year-old Vani Murthy (also known as Wormrani on Instagram) is very concerned about sustainability. On her profile, the Indian shares beautiful and enriching posts that inspire young people in particular. She became known with videos and articles on how waste in urban areas can be composted and disposed of in a sustainable manner. Or even better, how waste can be avoided in general to protect the environment. In the meantime, she also shares many other things such as recipes, beautiful natural spectacles or enriching experiences from her everyday life. She is followed by 300,000 people who regularly enjoy her tips on making the world a little bit greener and more sustainable.
@baddiewinkle
Colourful, lively, extravagant
More is more and don’t take yourself too seriously – that’s the motto! Helen Van Winkle proudly shares her wrinkles, vices and colorful personality. And that’s why they love their 3.2 million followers online. She is 94 years old and not above having fun. Sometimes it’s the neon nail polish that fascinates, sometimes it’s the walking frame covered with fur or outfits that are more reminiscent of teenagers. Helen rocks everything! She doesn’t care what others think of her and likes that! An account that is really fun and puts you in a good mood.
@susan_unefemme
Wearable fashion and travel tips
This granfluencer can help with the everyday question “What am I wearing today?”. 25,900 people follow Susan Blakely and for a good reason: She is wonderfully normal, many can identify with her. Her goal is to encourage other older women to have new experiences – whether traveling or in front of the closet. Your concrete fashion tips in terms of color and style analysis are terrific. With this account you have a great source of inspiration.
@betterworld.ip
Van life over 60
“Psychologist, mentor and vanlifer” says Dr. Irene Petersen. Although she doesn’t have that many people who follow her and she’s quite unknown compared to an Iris Apfel, she likes her message: You’re never too old to travel alone in a camper van and you have a thirst for adventure to wake up. She is authentic on all her trips in her converted mini-van. Simply great! Your posts offer great travel inspiration, encourage and make you want to explore the world – and that alone.
@g.krabbenhoft
Elegant and charming with depth
German style icon Günther Anton Krabbenhöft has lived in Berlin since the 1970s. And no other city suits the fashion-loving gentleman as well as this one. Because he attracts attention, he breaks taboos, goes to clubs and shows that one can live longer without losing authenticity. He is also referred to as “Berlin’s coolest hipster grandpa” and has 227,000 followers on Instagram. But the 78-year-old also shares thoughts that make you think and show that the way you look at life changes with age. Words like “sometime”, “later” or “one day” suddenly disappear from everyday usage. The result: “Elegant clothing, the fine, expensive porcelain and the outrageously expensive perfume – all these things are now used every day.”
@rosssmith
Older people can have fun too
Gangster Granny & Ross Smith call themselves the funniest grandma duo on Instagram. The two make people around the world laugh every day. The users enjoy their crazy pranks, funny gags and pranks (which are sometimes a bit below the belt). One funny situation follows the next – an account that does you good, cheers you up, invigorates you and brings back childhood memories. Wonderfully different!
@anastasia_gerolymatou
Perfect wave even in old age
Not only women, men also follow 84-year-old Anastasia Gerolymatou. No wonder, her passion for windsurfing and her lightness infect everyone. Unbelievable, but the Greek woman stood on a surfboard for the first time at the age of 40 and has been an enthusiastic water sports enthusiast ever since. It even made it into the Guinness World Records book! She not only shares beach body pictures with her followers, no, she also shows herself in other (extreme) sports – whether sailing, horseback riding, beach tennis or paragliding. Her motto: Have courage! And we think that’s great.
Conclusion: Life is way too short to be bored. We hope that the crazy Granfluencers will inspire you and, above all, motivate you to try and dare more – no matter what your age. In the sense: Livin’ la Vida Loca!
