Who has the most followers on TikTok right now?

Who has the most followers on TikTok right now? It’s Khaby Lame. We’ll cover why he’s so popular in a second — first, here’s the full top 10:

1. Khaby Lame – Senegal/Italy – 162.6 million followers
2. Charli D’Amelio – United States – 157.1 million followers
3. MrBeast – United States – 115.2 million followers
4. Bella Poarch – Philippines/United States – 93.9 million followers
5. TikTok – China – 89.2 million followers
6. Addison Rae – United States – 88.4 million followers
7. Kimberly Loaiza – Mexico – 83.4 million followers
8. Zach King – United States – 82.3 million followers
9. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – United States – 80.5 million followers
10. Will Smith – United States – 79.7 million followers

1. Khaby Lame – 162.6 million followers

Who is the person with the most followers on TikTok? Turns out it’s Khaby Lame: a silent-comedy content creator who only started in 2022. On the surface, there’s nothing groundbreaking about Lame’s work — he made his name reacting to “life hack” videos, poking fun at them with over-the-top expressions.

But his content’s simplicity, its tried-and-tested format, is what makes it so appealing. It’s familiar, relatable, something that’s been around since the early days of cinema. Think of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin — during the silent-film era, they entertained millions of people through physical comedy. Lame does a similar thing, just a hundred years down the line.

2. Charli D’Amelio – 157.1 million followers

Now that we’ve got the top dog out of the way, who has the second-most followers on TikTok? Enter Charli D’Amelio, the social media star and dancer who held the most-followed TikTok title until Lame overtook her.

D’Amelio’s fame is spread across a ton of touchpoints: Disney and Nickelodeon TV shows, a cosmetics company, clothing line, music career, Broadway roles, and more. Much of her content focuses on her daily routine, dance choreography, and various memes and TikTok trends — it’s a pretty perfect balance.

3. MrBeast – 115.2 million followers

You know the smile, the wild ideas, the voice narrating every moment of your life — MrBeast is everywhere in 2025. Not satisfied with running the most-subscribed YouTube channel, Jimmy Donaldson ranks as the third-most-followed TikTok account, too.

MrBeast’s content is larger than life, offering people the chance to win money, experience unbelievable moments, and break records. He leaves his full-length challenges to YouTube, but posts enough teasers, outtakes, and memery to make an impact on TikTok.

4. Bella Poarch – 93.9 million followers

Bella Poarch may be the fourth-most-followed person on TikTok, but she’s #1 in another category — she created the platform’s most-liked video of all time. The US Navy veteran started creating content back in 2020, went viral, and hasn’t looked back since.

Poarch has built a healthy bank of lip-syncing, gaming, and musical content over the past five years, broadening her scope beyond social media. Her varied content appeals to lovers of nerd culture and more general, trend-hungry viewers, balancing both audiences with ease.

5. TikTok – 89.2 million followers

Perhaps it seems strange that TikTok itself is on this list, but it makes sense — Instagram is the most-followed Instagram account, for example. TikTok’s official account leans heavily into updates and promotional videos, blending user-generated content with professionally shot footage.

6. Addison Rae – 88.4 million followers

Addison Rae is up there with “TikTok-famous” folks like Charli D’Amelio, also gaining traction with dance videos. Since hurtling into the spotlight back in 2019, Rae’s taken up podcasting, singing, acting, and more.

7. Kimberly Loaiza – 83.4 million followers

Kimberly Loaiza is such a great example of an internet personality. Initially finding fame on YouTube in 2016, she’s traveled across platforms and adapted her content along the way.

She still focuses on the hair and beauty tutorials that made her name, but her TikTok content’s more geared towards challenges and promotional content. Because, like many of the other names on this list, Loaiza has a whole new career now — she’s also a singer.

8. Zach King – 82.3 million followers

Who remembers Vine? We do, and we’re sure Zach King does, too — the platform helped launch his career back in the early 2010s. His quirky, six-second edits were made to look like magic tricks, appealing to viewers of all ages.

King was an early TikTok adopter, and has since starred in movies, written books, and taken part in The Amazing Race. Not bad at all!

9. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – 80.5 million followers

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is charm personified, despite beating people up for a living in the WWE. Outside the ring, he does numbers on TikTok because it’s so clearly him behind the content. Whether he’s posting box office figures, hanging with his family, or working out, his content resonates on social media because it’s honest.

10. Will Smith – 79.7 million followers

Will Smith closes out our list in spectacular style, proving the power of the viral TikTok hit. Before April 2025, the Oscar-winning star hadn’t quite cracked the top 10 — that changed when he jumped on a Fresh Prince-themed dance trend, securing millions of new followers.

What do all of these accounts have in common? Well, aside from TikTok itself, they’re all real people with other hustles — they’re not just “known” as TikTok stars. Khaby Lame is a huge TikTok name, sure, but he also judges a talent show and has his own TV series.

There’s little rhyme or reason to TikTok fame, and that’s fine. Even if you or your brand never hit D’Amelio digits, you can still make the platform work for you.

One way to do that is with music. After all, the soundtrack can make or break your content — why let one needle-drop derail your project? Let us help you out.
