Kim Kardashian is one of the most followed people on Instagram and Twitter ... or is she? A new study conducted by a company called ICMP claims that a whopping 44% of her followers on social media are fake accounts.

Kim, 38, boasts more than 145 million followers on Instagram and 61.5 million followers on Twitter.

ICMP used a software called IG Audit to conduct their investigation.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star revealed during her lawsuit with Missguided that she can command anywhere from $300,000 to over a million dollars for a single sponsored Instagram post due to her massive following.

Ellen Degeneres came in first on the list. More than 49% of her followers are allegedly fake.

Kourtney Kardashian has 46% fake followers, while Khloe Kardashian has slightly less at 43%.

Selena Gomez, who used to be the most followed person on Instagram, was noticeably absent from the list.
