Facebook does not send all of your updates to all of your followers. For pages with large amounts of followers, only about 10% of your followers will have any given post pushed to their timeline. You can increase the number by paying FB to "promote" individual posts, but Twitter sends everyone everything.

For a commoner like me, FB only notify 10% of my friends. Is that the same thing for celebrities? It doesn't seem so.
I just take a sample using Justin Bieber's post that are both shared on FB and Twitter. On FB it has 385k likes, and Twitter only has 63k likes to the same content. The ratio is similar to MAU of the two platforms. FB is able to get more audience for him.

On Facebook people interacting with the content by liking and commenting will increase the content's reach by showing it to more people.

So it makes more sense for celebrities to directly broadcast to a larger audience on FB than Twitter...
