Portuguese striker, Cristiano Ronaldo has made yet another history as he becomes the first person to ever accumulate a stunning 600 million followers on the popular social media platform, Instagram.

In addition to being the first user on the social media network to have gained more than 300 million followers, Ronaldo now has even more reason for another bragging right of being the most followed footballer and individual on the application with over 600 million followers.

The praise doesn’t stop there, either. The 38-year-old Portuguese striker has established himself as a legitimate internet influencer and is currently the third-highest earner on Instagram.

Another incredible feat Ronaldo achieved before this one is the prestigious distinction of the world’s highest-paid athlete according to Forbes’ list for 2023 after his move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nasr.

His appeal and charisma extend beyond the football pitch and into the world of social media, catapulting him to the top of the Instagram Rich List in 2023.

According to Hopper HQ, an Instagram scheduling tool which uses internal and publicly available data to determine the maximum prices each user on social media platforms, Instagram and YouTube can charge for a post, Portugal forward earns a staggering $3.23 million for each Instagram post.

The records of Cristiano Rinaldo keep increasing as he has helped his Saudi club Al Nasr to win their first-ever Arab club.

Ronaldo scored two key goals which determined the historic fate of All Al Nasr even as their rival Al Hilal took the lead in the game and his team was one man down.
