Fair play.
We all have this obsession with celebrity culture.
Whether you like to admit it or not, there is a level of envy, mixed with a fascination.
So, adding to this nosiness I decided to have a good gawk on Instagram, and find out who had the most followers.
For no real reason, other than a genuine interest.
These five humans take the term “Influencer” to another level…
1: Selena Gomez
The undisputed champion of the gram, Selena Gomez has a whopping 142 million followers. Not too shabby. The best thing about Selena’s page is that it’s a wonderful combination of her work and her social life.

2: Cristiano Ronaldo
For some reason, this surprised me. Not because I ever doubted Cristiano Ronaldo’s fame, but simply because he’s the only sporting star in the top five. With 141 million followers, he’s quite the threat to Selena’s crown.

3: Ariana Grande
Pop princess and all round sweet heart, Ariana Grande, has an impressive Instagram following of 128 million. A massive fan of selfies and candid snaps, Ariana is a frequent poster (and we love it).

4: Beyoncé
I mean, it wouldn’t make sense for Queen Bey not to be here in this top five. With 117 million followers, Bey is among the most popular people in the world, tbh. Usually she posts pictures of her performances, but she has been known to make major life announcements on the site also.

5: Kim Kardashian
The original selfie QUEEN, Kim K is the fifth most followed person on Instagram – for obvious reasons. Kim has amassed a major following for posting stunning (and sometimes rogue) pictures of herself. She also gives us the occasional peak into her sweet family life.
