Impressive as this is, surprisingly The Rock isn't the most-followed celebrity on Instagram. That honour goes to Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, followed closely by American pop star Ariana Grande. As per Newsweek, 35-year-old Ronaldo has the biggest Instagram following in the world at 239 million followers. As for 27-year-old Grande, with her 203 million followers, the petite singer currently holds the biggest female Instagram following worldwide. None of the other celebrities that make the Top 10 most-followed list has hit 200 million, though Kylie Jenner (197 million) and Selena Gomez (194 million) are close. Rounding up the list are Kim Kardashian (189 million), Lionel Messi (167 million), Beyoncé (155 million) and Justin Bieber (147 million). (Photo source: Dwayne Johnson's Instagram)
