Portuguese professional footballer Cristiano Ronaldo just broke the record by becoming the most followed person on Instagram.
He really is the undisputed G.O.A.T!
The 37-year-old who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and captains the Portugal national team just hit over 500 million followers on the trending photo/video sharing social media app.
Mind you he only follows back just 523 people.
Ronaldo is generally loved because of his excellent sportsmanship, including his signature celebratory jump, great looks and physique, and his off-the-pitch family life which he doesn’t shy from showing off.
He’s been in a stable relationship with Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez since 2016 and the two have 5 kids.
One from Christiano’s first relationship, two from a surrogate, and two from Georgina’s.
Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards and four European Golden Shoes, the most by a European player. He has won 32 trophies in his career, including seven league titles, five UEFA Champions Leagues, and the UEFA European Championship.
Some of the top 5 high profile people after Ronaldo with an incredibly high number of followers include fellow globally celebrated footballer, Lionel Messi.
