Charli D'Amelio surpassed the 100-million-follower mark on TikTok on Nov 22. The 16 year-old American is the first celebrity to hit such a milestone, overtaking established stars like Will Smith, Selena Gomez and even Kylie Jenner.
Charli D'Amelio is entering TikTok history with over 100.7 million followers to date. Last September, the influencer had already entered the Guinness Book of records becoming the "first person to reach 50 million followers on TikTok". She reached that milestone on April 21. And within just eight months, the young American doubled her number of fans. Her success is partly due to several Covid-19 lockdowns that encouraged web users to spend more time on mobile applications.
