Amid Crisis With Manchester United, #Ronaldo Crosses 500 Million Followers On Instagram—Cristiano Ronaldo, the popular Portuguese superstar who recently made headlines for his explosive interview, with Piers Morgan made Instagram history on November 21 when he became the first athlete to amass 500 million followers.
Ronaldo, one of the most well-liked players on the planet, accomplished the feat on Monday. There has never been a player like Cristiano Ronaldo in the history of soccer. For twenty years, the Manchester United great has maintained his position as the best in the world of soccer.
Along with receiving many commendable awards, Ronaldo has also given himself a platform from which the entire world can view him. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s empire has made him one of the most powerful people on the planet
Ronaldo is also one of the highest-paid athletes on Instagram. He is quite well-liked on various social media sites in addition to Instagram. His Facebook and Twitter followings combined total more than 154 million. In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, other players with significant Instagram fan bases include Lionel Messi, Virat Kohli, Neymar, and Lebron James.
Ronaldo earlier said he felt “betrayed” by the club for trying to pull him out of the team in an emotional interview with Piers Morgan. The Portuguese star added in his interview that he has “no regard” for Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United because he “doesn’t show respect for me.”
How much money does Ronaldo make from social media?
For a time now, Ronaldo has had the most Instagram followers. After gaining 237 million followers in September 2021, “Cristiano” overtook all other accounts as the most popular one.
Since that time, Ronaldo has been relaxing on the throne. Many people might believe Kylie Jenner has the second-highest number of Instagram followers. With 376 million followers, Lionel Messi is in second place.
Along with Selena Gomez and Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Kylie Jenner, who has spent the past several years in the top 5 of the list, is in third place. Neymar Jr., a renowned soccer player from Brazil, is another player that ranks among the top 25. He claims to have 182 million followers. Given how long the United star has been playing, it might be far from Ronaldo’s 500 million.

Ronaldo stated on Monday that the Portugal team would not be harmed by his argument with Manchester United during the World Cup in Qatar. The superstar, who has been relegated to a supporting role at United this season, attacked his club and United coach Erik ten Hag last week in a TV interview.
“I have no doubt that this recent episode, that interview, and other episodes with other players that happen sometimes, can sometimes shake the player but won’t shake the team,” Ronaldo said at a press conference at the Portugal camp.
Ronaldo was suspended for the Premier League club’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham last month. The 37-year-old claimed during the interview with British journalist Piers Morgan that he felt “provoked” into that reaction by Ten Hag.
