6. Ellen DeGeneres – That Selfie That Made Millions

Most re-Tweeted picture ever: Ellen DeGeneres‘ Oscar selfie with half of Hollywood was posted to her Twitter feed. Samsung sponsored the show and got plenty of bang for their buck, including that selfie that nearly broke Twitter. How much did Ellen get? Well, technically, they didn’t pay her anything for posting the most retweeted picture. How can that be? Wait. What they did do is pay over $3 million dollars ($1 for every re-Tweet) to some of Ellen’s favorite charities because it showed that our Ellen was a Samsung fan. What they didn’t mention was that off camera, she was using her iPhone.
