Why does a single post by these celebrities receive a million hits each day?

It is one thing to be famous. And entirely another to be a social media star.

On Instagram, for instance, you can post just one sensational picture and double or multiply your fan base by millions in seconds.

Many of these celebrity accounts are special for the  frequency and individuality of the posts.

Who are these folks who had the most followers on Instagram in 2016?
