On January 1, 2021, I began following the stats of the top Udemy instructors on this list. I have taken courses by several of them and am currently assisting a couple of them in maintaining their Facebook groups. The following instructors have over 900,000 students enrolled and three of them are rapidly closing in the One Million benchmark. The thing is I can’t be sure that these are the only ones who have enrolled over 900,000 students. If you are reading this and know of others who should be on this list, please reach out to me on Twitter ASAP. Thanks.
