37 Interesting Facts You Didn’t Know About Facebook

THE MOST POPULAR PAGE

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular page on Facebook is the company’s own, with a mammoth 206 million likes.

 

BEAN’S THE BIGGEST TV STAR

Mr Bean has more Facebook fans than any other TV show on Facebook with a massive 77 million. It’s followed by The Simpsons (65 million) and SpongeBob SquarePants (52 million).

 

HITS DON’T LIE

Surprisingly the most popular musician on Facebook is not Beyoncé or Taylor Swift but Shakira with nearly 104 million fans. In second place is Eminem with nearly 90.56 million, followed by Rihanna with 81 million fans.

 

A MASSIVE PAY CUT FOR THE BOSS

Since 2013, Zuckerberg decided he’d only take home a $1 (70p) salary each year. His reasoning? He’s said he’s made enough money already.

 

SUCCESSION PLANNING

Zuckerberg has it written into his contract that, should he die while still running the company, the control may be transferred to a person or entity that he has chosen as his successor.

 

ARR ME HEARTIES!

You can change your language to pirate on the site. Friends become “Mateys” and instead of liking something you just say “Arr”. To do it, go into “Account” then “Settings” and then “Languages” and select “English (Pirate)”.

In a revelation that might concern the company’s senior management, a Germany study found one in three Facebook users reported that they felt worse after using it.
