The Best in the World


Celebrities are just regular humans, but sometimes even regular humans can break WORLD RECORDS and be best in the world at something, or first in the world to do something.

Here is a list of records broken or made by various celebrities:


The record for the most live streams for a single event goes to Prince William and Kate Middleton for their wedding.


J.K. Rowling happens to be the First Billionaire Author thanks to sales of more than 400 million Harry Potter books worldwide.



Pittsburgh Steelers’ player, Troy Polamalu, even holds the “Most Highly Insured Hair” World Record when Head & Shoulders took out a $1 million policy on his hair in 2010.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records for 2013, we have:

Sandra Bullock: Highest paid actress.
Charlie Sheen: Highest paid actor on TV.
Angus T. Jones: Highest paid TV child actor.
Miranda Cosgrove: Highest paid TV child actress.
Johnny Depp: Highest paid actor. 

Carrie Underwood: Most country #1 hits in the USA by a female artist.
U2: Highest-grossing music tour.
Snow Patrol: Longest chart run in the UK by a group (one single)
Lady Gaga: Fastest selling US digital album.

BUT if perhaps Guinness doesn't find your particular talents worth noting, there are even still more options!



Jimmy Fallon has made great use of recordsetter.com, where you can create your own records to be challenged by others. 

Fallon himself holds the records for:

Most Fast Food Items Tasted In 30 Seconds
Longest Office Chair Daisy Chain Pulled By A Golf Cart
Most Video Game Consoles Played In One Minute
Most Strangers Marker Mustached In 30 Seconds
Largest Bloody Mary Garnished With A Late Night TV Host
Tallest Shaving Cream Wig

I, personally, find myself jealous of Isla Fisher's record of "Most Frozen Waffles Stacked In Two Hands" and perhaps even "Most Bunnies Snuggled With In A Hammock" defended by Cameron Diaz. 

Whatever your talent, being the absolute best at it is a good goal to strive for.
