Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's noted struggles – and flameout – with Manchester United, the Portuguese star's Instagram following continues to grow.

CreatorIQ shared data last week that on top of becoming the first person to enter the “500 million follower club” on Instagram, Ronaldo has maintained a follower growth of 8.3% since June. Numerous advertisers have benefited from his staggering social presence as well, as Ronaldo's had various campaigns with brands like Louis Vuitton, Clear Haircare and Therabody (among others).
