One-third of the entire world uses Facebook on a monthly basis, and 70% of American adults have reported using the site at least once. Combine that with the total monthly users on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and Snapchat, and it’s no wonder social media is one of the most popular online pastimes.  Celebrities are a very large reason why social media has become so popular.  While some celebrities use their social media accounts to share updates on their daily lives, others promote makeup products and sponsored ads for vitamins and weight-loss teas.  Many of the top social media stars include world-renowned athletes, Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities, and famous musicians.  Here are some of the stars that are on the top of Instagram most followed rankings:
