Cristiano Ronaldo, the football player of Manchester United, has stayed at the top of his game in sports over the past few years, often touted as one of the most talented players of his generation. Now, he’s also conquered the world of social media.

Ronaldo is the first to climb past 500 million followers on Instagram, making him one of the most digitally influential people on the planet.

The footballer shares a variety of polished photos and more natural ones with family, as well as obligatory action shots from games.

The sport seems to be taking the social media platform by storm, with the second-most-followed account being Lionel Messi, with 376 million followers.

This collab was likely a key driver for Ronaldo climbing above 500 million followers, with the photograph, taken by Annie Leibovitz, becoming the second-most-liked post on Instagram.
