One in seven human beings are on Facebook.
There are 7,021,836,029 people in the world, according to a recent estimate from the CIA factbook. And about one-seventh of them are on the social network.
Friday morning, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the massive website had hit a new milestone, with more than a billion active users.
"Helping a billion people connect is amazing, humbling and by far the thing I am most proud of in my life," Zuckerberg wrote, announcing the astounding number. The site crossed the billion mark as of Sept. 14 at 12:45 p.m. PST, Reuters noted.
"I am committed to working every day to make Facebook better for you, and hopefully together one day we will be able to connect the rest of the world too."
Facebook had 955 million active monthly users as of June, according to a report on Reuters.
