While Selena Gomez claimed top spot when it came to Instagram followers in 2017 and Cristiano Ronaldo and Beyonce snatched the prizes for most-liked photos, it wasn’t an A-lister who had the most watched Instagram stories of the year.
Instead, it was 21-year-old Elenora “Lele” Pons, the model, actress, comedian, and YouTube star you’ve probably never heard of.
Pons has a brand deal with US makeup brand CoverGirl, walked for Dolce and Gabbana earlier this year in Milan, and even judged on the Miss Universe 2017 panel earlier this month.
She also has over 20 million Instagram followers and a net worth of $ 3 million (£2.2 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Scroll on for the fabulous life of Lele Pons — the Venezuela-born social media influencer that racked up the most views on Instagram stories in 2017.
