Charlie Sheen Breaks World Record on Twitter
Attracting one million followers in a mere 25 hours and 17 minutes, he is hoping to Tweet out celeb endorsements soon.
It took him just 25 hours and 17 minutes, Guiness confirmed Thursday.
"Guinness World Records is excited to continue expanding the number of social media records it holds and looks forward to new records emerging from the rapidly evolving world of social media," the organization said in a statement. (Just two weeks ago, rapper Lil Wayne set a Guinness World Record for the most "Likes" on a single Facebook page, with 588,243 in 24 hours, PC World points out.)
With Sheen no longer receiving his $1.2 million per episode salary on Two and a Half Men, he has said his "primary motivation" is to Tweet out celeb endorsements soon. "I'm unemployed!" he tells TMZ.com, adding that the social network site is a "cash cow."
The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that reality star Kim Kardashian now charges as much as $25,000 to simply mention and link to a brand or company in a Tweet.
Arnie Gullov-Singh, CEO of the Beverly Hills-based Ad.ly, (a startup that focuses on celebrity endorsements via Facebook and Twitter), tells Forbes, “It’s inevitable that brands will be lining up to work with him.”
