Kylie Jenner tops the list for having the highest percentage of fake followers. Of the 223 million people who follow Kylie, 63 million accounts are fake followers. The Jenners and the Kardashians dominate the breakdown. Closely following in seventh and ninth place are Jenner’s stepsisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian.
Many high-profile personalities, singers, athletes, and actors are among the top 25 personalities with the most fake followers. Believe it or not, most of the celebrities with the most fake followers online are famous singers. Nine of the top 25 celebrities on the list are working in the music industry.
It is worth noting that having fake followers or “bots” does not necessarily mean that celebrities have paid for the increase in followers. Fake followers do not equal celebrity fame, but many people can relate the number of followers online to their value or popularity.
