There are only a handful of people in the world more famous than footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. While he still plays at the highest level of the Saudi Pro League and for the Portuguese national team in international matches, the striker is in the final era of his legendary career that spanned spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, where he won more trophies than one can count.
But we all know about Ronaldo’s football career and that’s not what we’re talking about today. Rather, we’re looking at his social media following, which has now reached the milestone of 1 billion followers, making Ronaldo the first person to amass such a fan base, despite the efforts of the likes of Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and his biggest football rival Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo added about the milestone: “From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I have always played for my family and for you, and now 1 billion of us are standing together.
“You have been there every step of the way, through all the ups and downs. This journey is our journey, and together we have shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
