Meta recently launched Threads, a new Twitter competitor platform that integrates with Instagram. In its first week, the app reached a record-breaking 100 million users. However, catching up to Instagram’s popularity would require a lot more effort. As a simple indicator, we are sharing the list of The Top 50 Most Followed Instagram Accounts.

Most Followed Instagram Accounts

Instagram was initially born as a new platform where people could share photos, setting it apart from other social media platforms. Over time, it added various features, such as Stories similar to those seen in Snapchat, which further increased its popularity.

This popularity also opened up new doors for individuals to earn fortunes. As we mentioned in our previous report last week, some users can earn millions of dollars for a single post. Therefore, it’s safe to say that the more followers one has, the more they can earn. Here are the Instagram accounts with the most followers…
