Less and less stars are born in the movies or on TV these days. New stars are created on social media. 

 

The United States is the home of greatest influencers, such as Kim Kardashian, who has 255 million followers on Instagram and Selena Gomez, with 264 million. 

 

Many Hispanics have also tried their luck to fulfill the American dream, but as a new class of influencers.  

 

These are some of the new generation of superstars of the internet with Latin flavor.

Two years later, in 2018, Pons was officially named by Forbes magazine as the most influential Spanish-speaker on social media worldwide, at only 21 years old. 

 

She became famous making sketch-type humor videos on Vine, where she managed to be the first and only person to reach 1 billion views, thus obtaining recognition from the platform, which created a special section in searches with her content.

 

For Pons, making videos is an escape, as she has suffered from OCD and depression since she was very young. 

 

"I started with my friends and I started to be bad. At first I was just very creative, it wasn't even a fun thing to do. A lot of people depended on me to make them.... Just so they could laugh," she said in an interview for Teen Vogue.
