Kylie Jenner Is the First Woman To Reach 300 Million Instagram Followers

Instagram can't get enough of Kylie Jenner these days. The socialite is officially the first woman to obtain 300 million followers on the social media app.

Jenner is the second person to reach this many followers with soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo being the first. After Jenner and Ronaldo, the most followed people on Instagram are Leo Messi, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez with 299, 289 and 288 million followers, respectively.

The beauty mogul is well aware of her popularity, which she handles well considering she grew up being filmed in Keeping With the Kardashians. "Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I did have privacy because we started our show when I was 9 years old," Jenner told Arabian Harper's Bazaar in 2019. "I feel like I just grew up in it and so I figured out a way of living that is comfortable for me."

Jenner also openly talked about struggling with fame. "Of course, there are times when you feel like your privacy is invaded," she added. "But I feel like I’ve learned how to pull back when I need to. I love my fans and we have such a strong relationship. I do love sharing and inspiring and bringing people into my life. I feel like I was definitely made to do what I do."
