Ellen DeGeneres’ Selfie Broke the Record for Most Retweeted Tweet

Samsung was probably banking on getting maximum exposure after buying out the Oscars and, lucky for them, they did and then some. Ellen Degeneres took a selfie of her and a bunch of other stars at the Oscars with a Note 3 and tweeted it. In only a few hours, it became the most retweeted tweet on Twitter and now sits at almost 2 million retweets.

If only Bradley's arm was longer. Best photo ever. #oscars pic.twitter.com/C9U5NOtGap

The last tweet to have so many retweets was President Obama’s 2012 election win tweet which is sitting at 780k. Clearly, this one smashed that record. Obama should be ashamed of himself.
