Who has the most followers on TikTok in 2026?

Who has the most followers on TikTok right now?

Khaby Lame has the most followers on TikTok right now.* Here’s the full top 10.

1. Khaby Lame – 162 million followers

Who is the person with the most followers on TikTok? 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, and 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 – 158.3 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 – 128.5 million followers

MrBeast is everywhere in 2026. 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. 

@mrbeast Some of these hiding spots are insane 😭 Make sure to upload a photo/video if you find one! And if you are not in NYC, go to @Starbucks ♬ original sound - MrBeast

4. TikTok – 94.4 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.

5. Bella Poarch – 92.1 million followers

Bella Poarch may be the fifth-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 few 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.

6. Addison Rae – 88.1 million followers

Addison Rae started in a similar way to “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. Willie Salim – 86.9 million followers

Willie Salim is the opposite of “no good deed goes unpunished.” His success comes from buying huge amounts of food or goods, then gifting it to those who need it. It’s feel-good content that checks a similar box as MrBeast, but without the multimillion-dollar challenges.

8. Zach King – 84.5 million followers

Zach King was an early adopter of Vine, launching his career on the platform in the early 2010s. His quirky, six-second edits were made to look like magic tricks, appealing to viewers of all ages.

King was also early to join TikTok, and has since starred in movies, written books, and taken part in The Amazing Race.

9. Kimberly Loaiza – 83.7 million followers

Kimberly Loaiza is 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 toward 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.

10. BTS – 80.1 million followers

The unstoppable rise of BTS is far from over. The South Korean boy band knocked Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson out of the TikTok top 10 in May 2026, picking up followers with a mix of behind-the-scenes content, music video teasers, and interviews with Korean legends like Park Chan-wook.

What do all of these accounts have in common? 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.

With Epidemic Sound.

More than 55,000 tracks made by real artists. One workflow to help you find, edit, and place music in your video.

And if your content’s longer than one minute? No problem. Just add the music with a third-party app like CapCut — TikTok won’t mute it.

Globally cleared licensing. No surprises. Get started with Epidemic Sound below and tell your best story today.
