‘Life is a roller coaster. Hard work, high speed, urgent goals, demanding expectations… But in the end, it all comes down to family, love, honesty, friendship, values that make it all worth it. Thanks for all the messages! 37 and counting! (sic)’, he wrote on Instagram. 

The most-followed individual on Instagram, Kylie Jenner is second in the rankings with over 308million followers, with Lionel Messi sitting in third with 306million.

He said: ⁩’Congratulations on becoming the first human being ever to reach 400 million followers on Instagram. The undisputed social media goat, p.s he only follows 500 people, including me… he knows a good grammer when he sees one.’
