Who Has the Most Followers on TikTok? Top 20 Creators in 2026

@khaby.lame

Not one word. That remains the entire joke, and it remains unbeatable. Khaby Lame lost his factory job in Bergamo during the pandemic, started silently mocking overcomplicated life hacks with open palms and a tired stare, and rode the world’s most universal punchline past every creator on earth. He took the number one spot from Charli D’Amelio in June 2022 and has now held it for four years, which makes him the answer to who has the most followers on TikTok going into 2026.

@charlidamelio

Charli D’Amelio was the first person in history to reach 100 million TikTok followers, back in November 2020, barely a year after posting her first dance video from her bedroom in Connecticut. Reality TV, a Broadway run, a footwear line, and a Dancing with the Stars trophy later, she still anchors our ranking of the hottest TikTok girls, and she is quietly closing on Khaby again, with just 2.9 million between them, the tightest the top has been since she lost the crown.

@mrbeast

Jimmy Donaldson conquered YouTube first, then treated TikTok as a distribution arm and conquered it anyway. Cash giveaways, survival challenges, and chocolate bars pushed him past 100 million TikTok followers in 2024, and he has since blown past 140 million, the fastest absolute growth in the top tier. If the current rates hold, the top three could become a genuine three-way race before the decade ends.

@bellapoarch

One head-bob to “M to the B” in August 2020 became the most liked video in TikTok history, a record that still stands at over 71 million likes. Bella Poarch converted the moment into a Warner Records deal and a music career, and her follower count has never stopped compounding on that single clip’s gravity.

@addisonre

Of the original 2019 dance wave, Addison Rae traveled furthest from the format. Netflix films, a critically embraced pop album, and a Lollapalooza set turned the Louisiana dancer into a legitimate entertainer, while the TikTok account that started everything keeps riding in the high 80 millions.

@zachking

Zach King has been fooling the internet since Vine, and his invisible-edit illusions produced the most viewed TikTok of all time, the Harry Potter broomstick ride that passed 2 billion views. A fixture of our list of the most popular male TikTokers, he is the rare top-ten resident whose content a grandparent, a child, and an algorithm all love equally.

@kimberly.loaiza

Latin America’s queen of the platform, Kimberly Loaiza built an empire from Mexicali: charting singles, a family vlog dynasty with husband Juan de Dios Pantoja, and the largest TikTok following of any Spanish-speaking creator, which is why she leads our ranking of the hottest Latina TikTokers too. Her audience treats her less like an influencer and more like a member of the household.

@bts_official_bighit

The only group account in the top 20, and it barely needs introduction. BTS’s TikTok is the ARMY’s daily feed of practice clips, member moments, and comeback teasers, and it holds its 80 million strong even through the members’ solo eras. No other music act comes close on the platform.

@therock

The Rock does on TikTok what he does everywhere: cheat meals, 4 a.m. workouts, and franchise promotion delivered with eyebrow raised. He is the highest ranked traditional celebrity on the list, proof that Hollywood star power still converts, just two spots below the creators who were unknown five years before him.

@willsmith

Will Smith joined TikTok early, took it seriously when most A-listers treated it as an intern’s job, and the investment shows. His feed swings between big-budget skits and disarmingly candid moments, it kept his audience through career turbulence that would have emptied most followings, and it makes him the most followed name among the Black TikTokers we track.

@domelipa

Monterrey’s Dominik Reséndez, known everywhere as Domelipa, gives Mexico two creators in the top eleven. Dance, fashion, and a reality-show turn on La Casa de los Famosos made her Gen Z royalty across Latin America, and her climb has not flattened yet.

@billieeilish

Billie Eilish posts rarely and gains anyway, which tells you what nine Grammys and two Oscars do for an algorithm. Her TikTok is tour fragments and deadpan humor, and every drop detonates because scarcity is its own strategy at her scale.

@cznburak

A Turkish chef who never stops smiling directly into the camera while carving mountains of meat should not be a global phenomenon, and yet Burak Özdemir is exactly that. His restaurants stretch across Istanbul and Dubai, celebrities queue for his tables, and his grin has become one of the internet’s most recognizable images.

@jasonderulo

No established musician adapted to TikTok faster or more shamelessly than Jason Derulo, and it revived his entire career. “Savage Love” was born from the platform, his food and dance videos routinely out-perform his singles, and he has openly said TikTok pays better attention than radio ever did.

@kyliejenner

Kylie Jenner’s TikTok is the casual counterweight to her polished Instagram: skincare routines mid-conversation, kids cameoing, Khy and Kylie Cosmetics drops filmed like voice notes. She is the highest ranked of the Kardashian-Jenner family on the platform by a wide margin.

@selenagomez

Between Only Murders in the Building, Rare Beauty, and a music catalog spanning half her life, Selena Gomez uses TikTok as her most human channel: makeup tutorials with mental health asides, cooking fails, and engagement-era glimpses that consistently break the app.

@shakira

Three decades into global stardom, Shakira had a TikTok-era renaissance most twenty-year-olds would envy. Her 2023 session with Bizarrap became a cultural earthquake, the dances from it colonized the app for months, and her tour content keeps the momentum rolling.

@karolg

Barely 200,000 followers behind her compatriot sits Karol G, reggaeton’s reigning queen, whose stadium tours and Bichota era made her one of the most streamed women alive. Colombia placing two women back to back in the global top 20 says everything about Latin music’s gravity on the platform.

@dixiedamelio

The D’Amelios are the only family with two members in the top 20. Dixie carved her own lane out of her sister’s shadow with a music career, the family’s Hulu series, and a founder role in their footwear brand, and her account keeps her among the most followed women on the app.

@spencerx

Rounding out the twenty is a mouth music maestro. Spencer X turned beatboxing, an art form that had never produced a mainstream star, into more than 53 million followers and collaborations with Sean Kingston and Alicia Keys. He remains proof that TikTok’s top tier still has room for a genuinely uncategorizable talent.
