Serena Gomez has emerged as the first person to reach the 100 million follower mark on Instagram. Imagine in a world of over 7.5 billion people and over 500 million active users on the Facebook owned platform, and one person has access to 100 million people.
This person is influential whether you like it or not; whether you know her or not…. She is only 24 years old.
To put this feat in context, second-place finisher, Taylor Swift has 91.5 million followers while Beyoncé has 85.3 million followers
And she reached this mark with the help of her fans. When they noticed that she was approaching the 100 million follower mark, they started a #GomezBreakTheInternet hashtag to help her reach the mark.
