We have had to set a few rules when compiling this list. All of the accounts are technically Facebook Fan Pages. This means that they may or may not be run by the individual concerned. In some cases, it may be a fan club or a super-fan who operates the account. They are all official fan pages, however. We have excluded corporate pages. It would be hard to suggest that Samsung, who runs the largest Facebook page outside of Facebook itself, counts as an influencer, for example. All of the Facebook influencer accounts in this list belong to individuals (or in Linkin Park’s case, a group). We have also ignored the accounts of dead celebrities – it would be hard to set up an influencer marketing campaign with Michael Jackson or Bob Marley, no matter how deep your pockets.
