The top of the board is basically a tie

Khaby Lame ends July 2026 as TikTok's most-followed account at 162,500,000 followers. Charli D'Amelio sits right behind him at 159,300,000. That's a gap of 3.2 million, about 2% of Khaby's total. On a platform where the next spot down is a 29.7 million follower cliff, the top two are practically neck and neck.

MrBeast rounds out the top three at 129,600,000. His TikTok is smaller than his YouTube channel, which isn't news to anyone who follows him there, but it's still enough to hold third place on the biggest short-video platform in the world.

One account in the top 10 isn't a creator at all

Fourth place doesn't belong to a person. It's TikTok's own official account, at 95,100,000 followers, ahead of every individual creator on this list except Khaby, Charli and MrBeast. It's a reminder that the platform itself is one of the biggest accounts on the platform, full stop.

Past that, the top 10 is genuinely global. Willie Salim, an Indonesian creator known for magic and prank videos, holds 87.1 million followers, more than Zach King and just behind Addison Rae. Kimberly Loaiza brings Spanish-language content into the top 10 at 83.5 million. BTS closes out the list at 80.6 million, the only group account in the mix. Between the two biggest names in short-form video and a boy band from Seoul, there isn't a single genre or region running this chart. TikTok's biggest accounts come from everywhere the app is popular, which by now is nearly everywhere.
