Most-followed TikTok accounts (September 2024)

With so many people making accounts for the platform all over the world, there are some names you’ll instantly recognize on this list, but there are a few surprises too – and it’s crazy to see how many followers some people have managed to accrue in short a time.

Here’s the list of the top 5 most-followed TikTok accounts, followed by a ranked list of the top 20 most-followed TikTok accounts:

5. Addison Rae — 88.8 million TikTok followers

If there’s one name almost as synonymous with TikTok fame as Charli D’Amelio, it’s Addison Rae. She is best known for her dance choreography videos, and has built an immensely popular YouTube following off the back of her TikTok success.

It’s been reported that she makes $8.5m a year, though those earnings aren’t solely based on TikTok alone – and it’s only looking up for the young star. The star appeared in an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, has signed a multi-film deal with Netflix after the release of the streaming platform’s ‘He’s All That’ movie, as well as launching her own line of fragrances and Screen Break, a skin mist. She’s also signed on to the movie, ‘Fashionista’.

However, despite her success, her follower count has stopped growing since 2023 and is even dropping slightly.

4. Bella Poarch – 94.1 million TikTok followers

Skyrocketing to fame in under a year, Bella Poarch has amassed a huge following at lightspeed. The American-Filipino star started their TikTok account in April 2020 and now sits at over 94.2 million followers, also having overtaken Addison Rae in TikTok popularity.

Prior to fame, the starlet served in the United States Navy. Now, she’s well known for her TikToks. Starring in her very own music videos for ‘Build a Bitch’, ‘Dolls’, and ‘Inferno’, she’s also featured in Sub Urban’s music video for ‘Cirque’, Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty Vol. 3 fashion show, and also signed on as a HyperX brand ambassador.

Like Addison, Bella’s follower count has dropped in 2023.

3. MrBeast — 104 million TikTok followers

Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is a YouTuber with over 241 million subscribers, and he is rapidly increasing his popularity on TikTok, too.

On TikTok, Jimmy and his friends have posted videos doing anything from participating in some of the most viral TikTok trends, to doing mini versions of challenges and concepts, you might typically find on his YouTube channel.

MrBeast is well known for his huge projects like his Squid Game recreation which blew up in 2021, as well as for his philanthropy. With the rate he’s gaining followers, breaking into the top 3 list of most-followed people on TikTok in April 2024, it looks like he could be set to continue to rise through the ranks.

2. Charli D’Amelio — 155.5 million TikTok followers

While no longer in the top spot, Charli D’Amelio is still the queen of TikTok in second place.

At just 18 years old, her rise to the top has been nothing short of spectacular. Alongside her incredible success, she has already garnered over 9.0 million YouTube subscribers, collaborating with the likes of Noah Schnapp, and Marshmello.

D’Amelio exploded onto the scene with her videos of dance choreography. She even ended up being the first star on the app to appear in a Super Bowl commercial, an impressive accomplishment no matter which way you try to slice it. She has also starred in Chase Hudson’s music video for ‘America’s Sweetheart’.

Beyond her long stretch as the most-followed account on TikTok, before being surpassed, Charli also became the first person to reach 10 billion likes on the platform.

1. Khaby Lame — 162.9 million TikTok followers

Italian TikToker Khaby Lame is officially TikTok’s most-followed account with over 162.9 million followers, having taken over the likes of Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio on his ascent.

Creating reactions to many other videos, such as one of the platform’s most-liked videos in which he responds to someone’s method of peeling a banana, Lame has also overtaken the likes of Dixie D’Amelio, Zach King, and Bella Poarch insanely fast.

The star’s popularity doesn’t look like it’ll slow down, either. There’s every chance he could remain the undisputed king of TikTok for years to come.
