Top 10 Most Followed TikTok Accounts in 2026

TikTok’s biggest accounts have become a proxy for where attention lives online. The platform now competes directly with Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts for the same short-form audience, and its own user base has broadened well past the Gen Z crowd that built it, pulling in Millennials, Gen Xers, and a growing number of Boomers.

That shift matters for brands. The most followed TikTok accounts still skew young, but the people watching them increasingly don’t, which widens the audience any single creator partnership can reach. With a global user base numbering in the billions, a spot in TikTok’s top 10 puts a creator in front of more potential customers than most traditional media buys can match.

This list tracks who currently holds that reach: the creators and accounts brands should have on their radar when planning influencer marketing campaigns. Between them, the accounts below have amassed a combined following of well over a billion.

The Top 10 Most Followed TikTokers

1. Khaby Lame: 162.7 million followers 

Khaby Lame overtook Charli D’Amelio as the most-followed person on TikTok in June 2022 and has held the top spot since. The Senegalese-Italian creator built his following on wordless reaction videos mocking overcomplicated “life hack” content — a format that needed no translation and traveled across every language market on the platform.

His rise has stayed almost entirely organic, without joining a creator house or paying for growth. He’s since worked with brands including Barilla and appeared as a juror on Italia’s Got Talent.

2. Charli D’Amelio: 159.3 million followers

Charli D’Amelio is the second most-followed account on TikTok and the first person to reach 100 million TikTok followers. She’s since become the first creator to reach 10 billion likes on the platform, expanded into a joint Morphe makeup line with her sister Dixie, and has also become a YouTube influencer with over 9 million subscribers.

3. MrBeast: 139.3 million followers

Jimmy Donaldson runs the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, and his TikTok presence has grown fast enough to put him third overall on the platform. Rather than posting full-length videos, he uses TikTok for teasers, outtakes, and shorter cuts of his large-scale challenge and philanthropy content — a distribution strategy other creators with cross-platform followings have started copying.

4. TikTok: 95.5 million followers

TikTok’s own account has climbed into the top five, surpassing Addison Rae along the way. It’s built almost entirely on trending content, creator highlights, and platform announcements, functioning less like a creator’s page and more like a central hub for what’s happening on the app. Its presence in this ranking is a reminder that brands and platforms themselves are now competing with individual creators for reach.

5. Bella Poarch: 91.9 million followers

Bella Poarch still holds the platform’s most-liked video of all time. She’s continued into music with releases including “Build a Bitch” and “Dolls,” and has worked with brands including HyperX and Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty as part of their influencer marketing strategy.

6. Addison Rae: 87.8 million followers 

Addison Rae built her following on dance content, including the most-shared TikTok video of 2020. She’s since launched the makeup brand Item Beauty and a music career, and remains one of the platform’s most recognizable names even as newer creators have overtaken her in follower count.

7. Willie Salim: 87 million followers

An Indonesian creator, Willie Salim’s rise reflects how much of TikTok’s growth over the past few years has come from outside the US and Europe. His entry into the global top 10 is a useful data point for brands thinking about influencer marketing beyond English-speaking markets.

Zach King remains known for his digital-editing “magic” videos, including the platform’s most-viewed clip of all time. His editing skill has kept him relevant across nearly a decade of platform shifts, with recent partnerships spanning Amazon and Universal Orlando.

9. FIFA World Cup: 86 million followers

The official FIFA World Cup account rounds out the top 10, reflecting how major sporting institutions have built TikTok followings that rival individual creators. Its content leans on match highlights, tournament build up, and fan moments, drawing on football’s global audience rather than a single personality.

10. Kimberley Loaiza: 83.3 million followers

A Mexican creator, Kimberley Loaiza’s presence in the global top 10 reflects the same pattern as Willie Salim’s — TikTok’s biggest accounts increasingly reflect its international user base rather than a US-centric list.
