Kanye West Listed As Time Magazine’s Most Influential Person On The Internet
To be included on a list of the most influential people is quite an honor. But you can’t just get on the list without having done some work. To be considered, you have to be active on both Twitter and Facebook, be well-known in the U.S. and have an individual account. Time recently put together 30 Most Influential People on The Internet and 38-years-old Kanye West tops the list. West, who has 20 million Twitter followers of his own, made the list “for driving headlines with his remarkably candid — and controversial — tweets,” according to TIME’s editors. He recently tweeted that he was $53 million in debt upon the release of his latest album.
Other celebrities on the list are Drake, Dj Khaled and Kim Kardashian West (in case you didn’t know- Kardashian boasts a social media empire that includes more than 100 million followers combined between Instagram and Twitter) — all of whom have managed to successfully brand themselves beyond the typical celebrity status by using the Internet to their advantages in a seriously savvy way.
