Khaby Lame remains TikTok’s most-followed individual creator in a September 2026 snapshot, holding a narrow lead over Charli D’Amelio while MrBeast sits in third place among individual creators.
Fresh rankings published at the start of September list Lame at about 162.8 million followers, compared with roughly 159.2 million for D’Amelio and around 139.5 million for MrBeast.
Khaby Lame holds the top creator position
Lame became globally recognised for short comedy and reaction videos that often use gestures rather than spoken dialogue. That format helped his content travel across language barriers and contributed to the scale of his TikTok following.
The September figures show that his lead over D’Amelio remains relatively small compared with the size of both accounts. Because TikTok follower totals change constantly, the numbers in this article should be treated as a reported snapshot rather than permanent totals.
MrBeast’s presence in third place also shows how quickly creator rankings can change as audiences move between platforms. His following has continued to grow alongside his much larger YouTube presence.
Follower rankings can change daily
Severn News compared rankings published by Dexerto and Unboxholics at the start of September 2026. Both placed Khaby Lame at the top among individual creators and reported broadly matching follower totals.
Official brand or platform accounts can appear separately in overall TikTok rankings, so this article specifically refers to individual creators. The ranking can change at any time as followers are added, removed or recalculated by the platform.
The figures provide a useful snapshot of the scale of TikTok’s biggest personalities at the start of September 2026, but they should not be read as live counts.
