Who Has The Most Followers On TikTok?

You might guess that the users with the largest fan bases on TikTok are all household names —famous actors, musicians, or pro athletes. You’d be wrong.

Don’t misunderstand; many of the world’s biggest celebrities have massive presences on the social media platform. For example. The Rock has almost 80 million TikTok followers and BTS has 71 million fans on the app. Athletes focus less on the platform, with Tom Brady topping the list at 4+ million followers.

Those numbers pale in comparison, though, to TikTok users primarily identified as “social media influencers.” And if you don’t regularly hang out on the app, you may never have heard of them. Here are the latest rankings.

1. Khaby Lame — 162 million TikTok followers (@khabe.lame)

This 25-year-old Senegalese-Italian influencer only started making videos during the Covid pandemic, but his comic takes on complicated “life hack” posts have struck a chord with viewers.

He usually uses TikTok Stitches and Duets to mock the ubiquitous hacks other users create; in contrast to their elaborate productions, he performs the same tasks simply and easily with no audio track. Lame has posted six of the 25 all-time most popular videos on the platform.

Lame is now said to earn as much as $750,000 per post from promotion and sponsorship deals. He has also scored an unscripted comedy series on the cable network Tubi.

2. Charli D’Amelio — 157 million TikTok followers (@charlidamelio)

With ten years of competitive dancing under her belt, D’Amelio was a natural for TikTok’s viral dance and lip-synching trends. She was the most-followed influencer on the app until Lame passed her in 2022. The American’s TikTok vids regularly rack up hundreds of thousands of views.

D’Amelio often performs with her older sister Dixie, also a TikTok influencer, and pop stars. She may also be familiar to some readers because of her many subsequent TV and commercial appearances, and her partnerships with major companies for endorsements and product creation. She’s performed on Broadway and won the 31st season of Dancing with the Stars.

In the calendar 2024 alone, D’Amelio earned approximately 23 million dollars, about half of that estimated to have come from her TikTok posts.

The Rest of the Top Five

3. MrBeast  — 115 million TikTok followers (@mrbeast)
4. Bella Poarch — 94 million TikTok followers (@bellapoarch)
5. Addison Rae — 88 million TikTok followers (@addisonre)

It takes a combination of talent, social media savvy, and promotion to reach those heights, and it’s unlikely that many readers will ever accumulate tens of millions of TikTok fans. A good way to start, though, is by jumpstarting organic growth for your TikTok account with packages of genuine TikTok followers, which are available at very low prices from iDigic.
