    The GetModel Influence Score

    A transparent 0–100 index that ranks models by real, measurable reach — combining verified Instagram audience, Wikipedia readership and global coverage, all from our own monthly scans. This page is the source of record: the formula, the inputs, how often it refreshes, and how to cite it.

    What it measures

    50%

    Instagram audience

    Verified, publicly visible follower count from our own monthly Instagram scans. Only profiles that can be verified are counted — no estimates.

    35%

    Wikipedia readership

    Median monthly pageviews of the model's Wikipedia article over the last 90 days, from our own Wikimedia scans. Captures real, sustained public interest beyond social media.

    15%

    Wikipedia language coverage

    The number of language editions the model's Wikipedia article exists in — a proxy for genuinely global, cross-market recognition.

    How it's calculated

    Each input is log-normalized against the ranked corpus (so a handful of mega-accounts don't flatten everyone below them), then combined with the weights above into a single 0–100 composite. The result is the GetModel Influence Score. Inputs are our own scans — not third-party estimates, agency claims or editorial opinion — and every ranked list shows the underlying number (Instagram audience, readership) next to each model so the order is checkable, not a black box.

    A sibling metric, the GetModel Fame Score, ranks all-time icons by median monthly Wikipedia readership multiplied by language coverage; it powers the Most Famous Models of All Time list.

    Data & cadence

    The score is recomputed from fresh Instagram and Wikimedia scans on a monthly cadence. The current data snapshot is 2026-08-24, and every ranking page carries its own “how this ranking works” note. Because the numbers are dated and refreshed on a fixed schedule, the score can be cited as a point-in-time source and tracked over time.
