mega-influencer
Massive social following
A mega-influencer is a social media personality with an exceptionally large following—typically over a million followers.
The term distinguishes these figures from micro-influencers and mid-tier influencers in marketing contexts: Brands pay mega-influencers six figures for a single sponsored post.
Most mega-influencers are celebrities who built fame elsewhere before leveraging it online.
