Baku, August 13, AZERTAC
In a groundbreaking achievement, soccer sensation Cristiano Ronaldo has become the very first individual to amass a staggering 600 million followers on the popular social media platform, Instagram, according to Economic Times.
Ronaldo already had the honor of being the first user on the platform to have more than 300 million followers, so this incredible feat gives him even more bragging rights.
Holding the prestigious title of the world's highest-paid athlete in Forbes' list for 2023, Ronaldo's remarkable journey to the top began with his move to Saudi Arabia. His popularity and charisma transcend the soccer field and extend into the digital realm, propelling him to the zenith of the 2023.
Astoundingly, each of Ronaldo's Instagram posts generates an astounding $3.23 million, according to Hopper HQ. This remarkable earning capacity aligns with his rapidly swelling base of nearly 600 million followers on the social media platform.
Notably, the renowned World Cup champion from Argentina, Lionel Messi, is his top rival on the list. Messi's postings are worth a significant amount of money—nearly $2.6 million each—underscoring their enormous social media influence.
