20 Most Followed TikTok Accounts in 2026: Top Female and Male TikTokers

By Mohamad Sayar
July 30, 2026 9 Min Read

The most followed TikTok accounts change so fast that most rankings online are already wrong. So we pulled every follower count on this list directly from live TikTok profiles in July 2026, and the race at the top is tighter than the stale lists suggest: Khaby Lame holds first at 162.5 million, but Charli D’Amelio sits just 3 million behind, the closest the crown has been contested in years.

Below is the verified top 20 most followed TikTok accounts worldwide, individuals only, followed by where the brand accounts would rank, how the leaderboard has shifted since 2024, and answers to why every tracker shows slightly different numbers.

The 20 Most Followed TikTok Accounts in 2026

Here is the full list of most followed TikTok accounts, every count checked against the live profile. Brand and platform accounts are excluded here and covered in their own section below.

1

Khaby Lame

@khaby.lame
162.5Mfollowers
ComedyItaly / Senegal
@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.

2

Charli D’Amelio

@charlidamelio
159.3Mfollowers
DanceUSA
@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 the gap on Khaby again, and the 3 million between them is the tightest the top has been since she lost the crown.

3

MrBeast

@mrbeast
129.6Mfollowers
StuntsUSA
@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, making him the fastest climber in the top tier. If the current growth rates hold, the top three could become a three-way race before the decade ends.

4

Bella Poarch

@bellapoarch
91.9Mfollowers
MusicPhilippines
@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.

5

Addison Rae

@addisonre
87.9Mfollowers
Dance / PopUSA
@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.

6

Zach King

@zachking
86.4Mfollowers
Magic EditsUSA
@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.

7

Kimberly Loaiza

@kimberly.loaiza
83.5Mfollowers
MusicMexico
@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.

8

BTS

@bts_official_bighit
80.6Mfollowers
K-popSouth Korea
@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.

9

Dwayne Johnson

@therock
79.6Mfollowers
EntertainmentUSA
@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.

10

Will Smith

@willsmith
78.1Mfollowers
ComedyUSA
@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.

11

Domelipa

@domelipa
75.5Mfollowers
LifestyleMexico
@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.

12

Billie Eilish

@billieeilish
75.2Mfollowers
MusicUSA
@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.

13

CZN Burak

@cznburak
73.5Mfollowers
FoodTurkey
@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.

14

Jason Derulo

@jasonderulo
66.2Mfollowers
MusicUSA
@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.

15

Kylie Jenner

@kyliejenner
59.9Mfollowers
BeautyUSA
@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.

16

Selena Gomez

@selenagomez
58.7Mfollowers
Music / BeautyUSA
@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.

17

Shakira

@shakira
55.8Mfollowers
MusicColombia
@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.

18

Karol G

@karolg
55.7Mfollowers
MusicColombia
@karolg

One hundred thousand 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.

19

Dixie D’Amelio

@dixiedamelio
53.9Mfollowers
Music / LifestyleUSA
@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.

20

Spencer X

@spencerx
53.6Mfollowers
BeatboxUSA
@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 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.

Bubbling just under the cutoff: Loren Gray (52.8M), the platform’s original most followed creator before the 2020 wave, plus Brent Rivera (50.7M) and Canada’s Kris Collins (50.4M), any of whom could crack the twenty by the next update.

Most Followed Non-Brand vs Brand TikTok Accounts

The list above is deliberately the most followed non-brand TikTok accounts, individuals and one music group, because mixing corporate accounts into a creator ranking helps nobody. For completeness, here is where the big brand accounts would slot in:

  • TikTok (95M) would rank fourth, behind Khaby, Charli, and MrBeast
  • ESPN (60M) would land fifteenth, just above Kylie Jenner
  • Netflix (53.2M) would squeeze in at twentieth
  • Barstool Sports (49.6M) falls just short of the cut

Wikipedia’s list mixes both types together, which is one reason its ordering looks different from creator-focused rankings.

How the Ranking Has Changed Since 2024

The top of TikTok moves slowly but tells a clear story. Khaby Lame took first place from Charli D’Amelio in June 2022 and has held it through 2024, 2025, and into 2026, but his growth has plateaued while Charli’s has quietly reaccelerated, shrinking a 10 million lead to barely 3 million. The most followed TikTok accounts 2024 lists had MrBeast just crossing 100 million; two years later he has added nearly 30 million more, the fastest absolute growth in the top ten.

The middle of the table churns harder. Latin music’s surge pushed Shakira and Karol G up the 2025 rankings, CZN Burak keeps climbing on pure charisma, and legacy dance-era names like Michael Le and Baby Ariel have slipped out of top-20 contention entirely. Follower counts on this page were verified in late July 2026; treat any list without a stated verification date as decoration.

What 100 Million Followers Is Actually Worth

A nine-figure follower count is a broadcasting license more than a paycheck. TikTok’s own payouts stay modest even at this scale, which is why every account above monetizes through the layers on top: sponsorships, music, product lines, restaurants, and film careers. We broke down the full math, from the Creator Rewards Program’s per-view rates to what a single sponsored post commands at each tier, in our guide to how much TikTok influencers make.

Follower count also stopped being the whole story years ago. Engagement decides income and cultural weight, which is why creators far below this list’s cutoff routinely out-earn names on it, and why momentum matters more than raw size when brands pick partners.

Conclusion

The most followed TikTok accounts in 2026 crown a silent comedian from Bergamo, a dancer from Connecticut three million behind him, and a giveaway machine from North Carolina closing on them both. Around them sit K-pop, reggaeton, a grinning Turkish chef, and a beatboxer, which is about as accurate a portrait of the internet as any list can offer.

Counts shift daily and this snapshot was verified in July 2026. Check back for updates, because for the first time since 2022, the number one spot is genuinely in play.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who has the most followed TikTok account in 2026?

Khaby Lame leads with 162.5 million followers as of July 2026, ahead of Charli D’Amelio at 159.3 million and MrBeast at 129.6 million. The gap between first and second is the smallest it has been since Khaby took the top spot in June 2022.

Who was the first person to reach 100 million TikTok followers?

Charli D’Amelio, in November 2020, barely eighteen months after posting her first video. Khaby Lame became the second in 2021, and MrBeast joined the club in 2024.

Is TikTok’s own account the most followed on the platform?

No. TikTok’s official account has 95 million followers, which would place it fourth. Khaby Lame and Charli D’Amelio both exceed it, making the platform one of the few where creators out-follow the app itself.

Why do lists like Wikipedia and Dexerto show different numbers?

Three reasons: verification dates differ (counts move daily), some lists mix brand accounts with creators while others separate them, and rounding conventions vary between trackers. Any ranking without a stated verification date is showing you the past. Every count on this page was pulled from live profiles in July 2026.

How often does this ranking change?

The top three has been stable since 2022, but the gap is closing fast enough that a lead change is plausible within a year. Positions 10 through 20 shuffle every few months as music moments and viral runs move creators by millions at a time.
