When it comes to the annual list of most popular (followed) Australian on Instagram the top ten is pretty much a no-brainer. Hugh Jackman comes out on top with an eye-watering 23 million followers – that’s 8 million more than Margot Robbie. Next in is Ruby Rose, the Hemsworths and fitness phenomenon Kayla Itsines. It’s basically an Aussie hall of fame. Save for Tammy Hembrow, the former blogger came in at number nine despite being known best for passing out at Kylie Jenner’s birthday party.
The data, which is compiled by edigital agency, gets significantly more interesting as the numbers approach double digits. Spoiler alert: number 100 is cricket legend, Ellyse Perry. The surprises continue with cool-girl Lara Worthington only scraping in at number 80 while human unicorn Steph Claire Smith comes in at a respectable 37th place.
