Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the most-followed individual on Facebook, with over 150 million followers.

This article contains a list of the top 50 accounts with the largest number of followers on the social media platform Facebook.[1][2] As of September 2021, the most-followed page is Facebook App's page with more than 214 million followers. The second most-followed page is Samsung's page with over 161 million. The most-followed person is Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, with over 150 million followers as of September 2021.[3][4][5][6][7]

The number of "likes" on Facebook can serve as a measurement of interest and/or popularity in a particular brand, product or personality, though there have also been reports of the "overblown importance" of likes.[8] Due to social media's role as an influential way of shaping reputations,[9] there exist companies specializing in selling "likes" from fake accounts.[10] This has caused issues for companies advertising on Facebook, due to receiving an abundance of likes (without credibility), that distort actual user metrics.[10] Facebook's Terms of Service agreement states that users are only allowed to have one personal page,[11] and it has an ongoing "war" against fake accounts.[12][13] A May 2015 estimate put the number of fake accounts at 170 million,[14] and a Symantec study in September 2011 found that 15% of 3.5 million video posts were made through fake likes.[15] In 2020, Facebook decided to have a new page design with a cleaner layout and no more 'Like' buttons.[16]
