Ronaldo is yet to post about his latest milestone having done so to celebrate reaching the 200-million mark in January 2020.
The five-time Balon D’or winner achieved the feat on Friday — about a year after he became the first person to amass 200m followers on the platform.
The achievement came off the back of another one he ticked earlier in the week when the Portugal national team captain became the all-time top scorer in European Championship history.
