Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has set a world record by becoming the first to amass one billion followers on social media.
Ronaldo announced this milestone with a heartfelt message on his X handle (formerly known as Twitter), expressing his gratitude and excitement. “We’ve made history—1 BILLION followers! This is more than just a number—it’s a testament to our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond,” the five-time Ballon d’Or winner shared.
Ronaldo thanked his fans for their unwavering support throughout his career. “You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is ours, and we’ve shown no limits to what we can achieve. Thank you for believing in me, for your support, and for being part of my life,” he wrote.
Ronaldo, the captain of Al Nassr, assured his fans that this milestone was just the beginning. This record comes on the heels of Ronaldo becoming the first-ever player to score 900 goals in professional football. He also holds the record for the most followers on Instagram. He recently launched his own YouTube channel, “UR Ronaldo,” which garnered over one million subscribers within just two hours, setting another record.
