Some people say Selena Gomez, Bill Gates, and Justin Bieber. But the number one follower on Twitter is none of these people. The two-term president of the United States also has a lot of followers &#8211; he has more than 108 million! But besides his public office, Obama also tweets about his other activities, including the work of his foundation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selena_Gomez\"><\/span>Selena Gomez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although she hasn&#8217;t made it into the Top 10 yet, it is clear that Selena Gomez is one of the most popular people on the site. She has been featured in several films and has performed on concert stages. Her fans are so dedicated to her that they&#8217;ve double-tapped her Instagrams and posted them to Twitter. Some of her followers have even taken the step further, printing out Instagrams and canvassing neighborhoods to spread the word about her latest work.<\/p>\n<p>While most celebrities have an inflated number of followers, Selena Gomez has surpassed the likes of Taylor Swift and Cristiano Ronaldo to become the most popular user on Instagram. The singer has nearly 69 million followers, more than the entire population of France. This incredible growth is not the only reason for Selena Gomez to be the top Twitter follower, but it&#8217;s a clear indication that she&#8217;s doing something right.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ellen_DeGeneres\"><\/span>Ellen DeGeneres<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As of late, Ellen DeGeneres is the number one Twitter follower of all time. Aside from her successful talk show, she has been the star of several movies, including Finding Nemo and Finding Dory. Fans can keep up with her daily life by following her Twitter account. This account also features clips from her most recent shows. If you love to watch Ellen on television, this account is definitely for you.<\/p>\n<p>The comedian and talk show host has been the subject of an intense media circus, which has caused her Twitter account to lose 18,000 followers this month. However, she still has 79.9 million Twitter followers, making her the ninth most popular user on the platform. She broke Twitter&#8217;s retweet record when she posted a selfie with A-list Hollywood stars at the 2014 Academy Awards.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bill_Gates\"><\/span>Bill Gates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to increase your Twitter followers and gain the attention of influential people, try following Bill Gates. He joined Twitter just a week ago and has already amassed an impressive following. Since then, he has followed over 40 accounts, including Microsoft, GatesFoundation, The Economist, Huffington Post, CERN, and several TED accounts. In fact, his most recent tweet has already generated over 2.6 million clicks, making him the number one follower on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft co-founder has an enormous following on Twitter, and has tweeted about various books, news articles, and charity events. Another billionaire is Britney Spears, an American singer who topped the charts in the 2000s and &#8217;00s.&#8217; She also has celebrity followers such as Cher and Drake. She tweets about music events, as well as news articles. But perhaps her most famous follower is Bill Gates, who has been known to tweet about his favorite books and industry insights.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Justin_Bieber\"><\/span>Justin Bieber<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen the tweets by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, who both said Justin Bieber is the number one follower on Twitter. The singer has been on Twitter for 101 months, which means that he&#8217;s been adding new followers for quite some time. This figure is particularly impressive when you consider that many of the accounts Justin Bieber has added are relatively new. In fact, a good chunk of them were already following him a few months ago, which means that they probably started following him because someone else had recommended him.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his fans, Justin has many celebrity followers on Twitter. During August 2009, he tweeted more than three hundred times per month, which is around 10 tweets per day. This means he has over thirty thousand followers in total. Justin has also removed numerous negative tweets about his health and life on a regular basis. The number one follower on Twitter is one of the most influential men on the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lady_Gaga\"><\/span>Lady Gaga<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The music superstar Lady Gaga has 20 million followers on Twitter, making her the number one follower. That makes her the first Twitter user with 20 million followers. There are some other famous people with over 20 million followers, including Justin Bieber and Shakira. Lady Gaga&#8217;s popularity spans generational boundaries. Her music and videos have appealed to audiences of all ages and are universally appealing.<\/p>\n<p>The music star recently broke the 20 million-follower barrier on Twitter, beating out Justin Bieber, who has 18 million followers, and Katy Perry, who has 16 million. Her following has steadily risen in recent weeks, and she expects to add another million in the next month. Among other notable Twitter users, Lady Gaga has been tweeting from her tour in Southeast Asia, where she has amassed a new social network for fans.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"294\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BAPCmGYxHDY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"526\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is the Number 1 Follower on Twitter?
