THERE'S a new way celebs measure how famous they are - by checking how many followers they have on Instagram.
The rich and famous have millions watching their every move on social media to catch a glimpse into their star-studded lives.
But which celebrities have the biggest followings?
From musicians to reality stars, we've rounded up the most famous people on Instagram according to their follower numbers.
Selena Gomez - 125 million followers
Pop star and actress Selena, 25, is the most followed person on Instagram thanks to her millions of fans.
The singer shares red carpet snaps, intimate selfies and even confirmed her relationship with The Weeknd with an Instagram video.
But despite being the most followed on Instagram, she only follows 271 people in return.
Ariana Grande - 113 million followers
Sharing snaps and videos from her tours and of her backing dancers, Ariana Grande has quickly racked up the followers.
The 24-year-old singer's page has become known for showing her on-stage glam persona as well as her more candid behind-the-scenes shots.
In August 2017, the page was hacked and filled with offensive and expletive-laden messages. But luckily, they were quickly removed and the account returned to normal.
Cristiano Ronaldo - 109 million followers
The most followed man on Instagram is Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
The footballer became the first male to reach 100 million followers on the social network in early 2017.
He fills his page full of pictures of himself both on and off the field, and with cute snaps of him and his kids.
Beyonce - 106 million followers
It's no surprise that one of the most famous singers in the world - Beyonce - has 106 million followers.
She uses her Instagram page to show off her latest outfits and make major announcements about her life.
In early 2017, she nearly caused the internet to break when she announced her pregnancy with a photo shoot she posted on the social media app.
Kim Kardashian West - 102 million followers
Selfie Queen Kim was one of the first people to harness the power of social media, and her Instagram game is still going strong.
She recently passed the 100 million follower mark and posts on Instagram most days.
Kim uses the site to promote her make-up line and also posts candid pictures of her husband Kanye West and kids North and Saint.
Taylor Swift - 102 million followers
Taylor had been the most followed person on Instagram but she still has an impressive 102million followers.
In August 2017, she stunned fans by deleting every post from her account after going quiet on the social network.
But soon after she started posting about her sixth album called Reputation, and new single Look What You Made Me Do.
Kylie Jenner - 97 million followers
She might not have as many followers as her half-sister Kim, but 20-year-old Kylie Jenner has still amassed an impressive 97 million followers on Instagram.

The Rock - 92.6 million followers
The second man on the list is former WWE wrestler turned Hollywood actor The Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson.

Justin Bieber - 91.2 million followers
The top male musician on the list is Justin Bieber, with over 91 million followers.
Those watching him on Instagram are treated to tour photos, selfies, throw backs and personal snaps that are often put up without any captions.
It doesn't stop the thousands of comments he gets on them, though.

The second youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner clan has made a name for herself in the modelling world with her many campaigns and catwalk appearances.
And just like her sisters, Kendall posts plenty of selfies along with snaps from her latest campaigns.
