'America's Next Top Model' creator and judge Tyra Banks has been crowned the Internet's most popular supermodel thanks to her social networking prowess.

The 39-year-old stands tall as the world's top ranking beauty in the Modelinia.Com poll, which surveyed how catwalk stunners fared on Twitter, Facebook and photo-sharing website Instagram, reported Daily Express.

Banks rules over Twitter with over 8.2 million followers, easily eclipsing second-placed Miranda Kerr, who has 1.6 million fans, while the Californian native also boasts the most 'friends' on Facebook with just under three million.

Brazilian model Adriana Lima trails her on that site with 2.5 million followers.
 

The model is also the most followed on Instagram, with more than 1.2 million fans, edging clear of Kerr, who is just behind with 1.1 million.

Banks quit the modelling world to concentrate on becoming a TV personality and media mogul.
