How much is a selfie really worth? Ellen's go for $1 Billion!

Everyone likes taking a good selfie. Some look better than others but have you ever thought how much your selfies are worth? Well, according to a branding expert, if you Ellen DeGeneres it could be worth $1 Billion!

The expert, Publicis CEO Maurice Levy, told a conference recently that the selfie taken by Ellen at the 2014 Academy Awards could be valued at $1 Billion because of the celebrities involved and the amount of times it was shared on social media.

The picture; which  included Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt and Lupita Nyong'o ; went viral breaking twitter records for the most retweeted photo of all time.

So next time you take a selfie think about getting a celeb to star in it and be sure to share it everywhere! You never know, you could end up a billionaire!
