In 2016, Facebook conducted a study to determine how its users are connected to each other. They found that, on average, you are connected to anyone else on Facebook through at most 3.57 other people. And this includes celebrities, politicians or even royalty!

In other words, if you pick any one of the billions of Facebook users all around the world, they will probably have a friend of a friend who knows a friend of one of your friends. We say there are 3.57 degrees of separation.
