Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his penchant for breaking records. On the pitch, he's the all-time scorer in international football and the Champions League. Off the pitch, he has the largest army of followers on both Instagram and Facebook, and on Monday, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner touched another milestone.
Manchester United and Portugal striker Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday became the first sports star in the world to reach 100 million followers on Instagram*, Facebook*, and Twitter.
CR7 currently has more than 439m followers on Instagram, 151m on Facebook, and 100m on Twitter, making him the only man on the planet to have more than 650m social media followers across the three platforms.
