Facebook On Top

Statistics compiled by Statista showed that Facebook for Every Phone had 500.05 million Facebook fans as of November 2016. This was almost five times the fan following for beverage giant The Coca-Cola Co KO, which came in second.

Facebook's Instagram took the 12th position and had 35.01 million Facebook fans.

Coke Quenches Better Than Pepsi

Coca-Cola had about 100.52 million Facebook fans over the same timeframe. Incidentally, rival PepsiCo, Inc. PEP's showing paled in significance, as it could muster only 35.95 Facebook fans and occupied the 11th position.

Others

Alphabet Inc GOOG GOOGL YouTube also had a fairly solid fan following at 81.65 million. Google had purchased online video sharing platform YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion.

Starbucks Corporation SBUX took the tenth spot, with 36.53 million Facebook fans.
