As of October 2025, the top XP holders on Duolingo according to Duome are ArturChach with 7,961,602 XP, CarlosBerman with 7,939,231 XP, and James_1856 with 7,931,408 XP. These players represent some of the highest XP in Duolingo history. However, it’s important to note that all three of these accounts are marked as inactive/questionable, meaning they may be bots rather than actual human players competing to be the best Duolingo player.
There is ongoing debate about who truly has the most XP on Duolingo and who is the best Duolingo player. Many top-ranking accounts are fake or bots that have accumulated unrealistic amounts of XP. For the most current and accurate leaderboard information, we recommend checking the Duome Hall of Fame directly, as these rankings change frequently and include indicators for questionable accounts.
I seriously would not be able to learn languages without italki (I’m taking 3 classes per week right now) try out a class and you’ll thank me later. They’re usually $9 or less!
Where to Find the Users with the Most XP on Duolingo and Who Has the Highest XP
If you are looking for a Hall of Fame or a list of players with the highest XP in Duolingo, there are a couple of places you can look! The first place is on the Duome website, which has a list that ranks the best Duolingo players with the most amount of XP and tracks those competing for the most XP on Duolingo in one day.

The Duome XP Hall of Fame is split up into a few categories. The first is “Questionable” meaning that although these accounts may have the most XP on Duolingo overall, they are most likely bots and not actual people competing to be the best Duolingo player.
The second category is the list of users that are most likely real people who have earned an insane amount of XP on Duolingo and truly deserve to be honored in the Hall of Fame as the highest XP in Duolingo among legitimate players!
Want to learn a language quickly and never forget it? Check out this book on Amazon about how to stay fluent in a language over time without losing fluency!
The next place you can check for a list of users with the most amount of XP is in the Duolingo Forum. On this page is a user’s unofficial Hall of Fame List.
You can scroll to the bottom of that forum as well to find other Hall of Fame Lists that other Duolingo users have made.
If you want to learn a language faster than ever, I highly recommend reading Benny Lewis’s book on how to learn a language in JUST 3 months.

I think Pat has the most XP, but with less than 80 crowns almost no progress in any language. Repetition of easy stuff over and over and over again??? By comparison, Professorcoonwp has about 7,300,000 XP but almost 11,500 crowns, meaning working through each language from easier to harder to hardest, that’s progress! Just my thoughts, Rod

@Rod, I question all of them that have multi- millions of xp, with this rationale:
Duolingo was released in 2011. This article was published in 2021. That's 10 years, or 3650 days. Let's take an average of 1,000 XP per day, that's 3.65 million XP. 1000 XP/day is not a lot per se, but a consistent 1, 000 every single day for 10 years straight is unlikely, in my opinion.
Again, I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying it's unlikely and I would bet that any account with multi-million amounts of XP were probably shared with at least a couple of other users or used some form of spam hack to get that much XP.
Just my thoughts
