Juventus player, Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first person to reach 250 million followers on Instagram.

Behind the Portuguese is singer Ariana Grande (214 million) and former wrestler turned Hollywood actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson (209 million).

According to RT, Ronaldo has more Instagram followers than all the English Premier League clubs which have 159 million followers combined.

Only the Instagram platform which has 382 million followers surpasses the 35-year-old.

The footballer was estimated to have earned $47.8 million from paid posts on the platform last year.
