"An international team of astronomers have found the fastest spinning star ever discovered. The star, called VFTS 102, rotates at a dizzying 1 million miles per hour, or 100 times faster than our sun. It lies in a neighboring dwarf galaxy, about 160,000 light-years from Earth." - Google.

Huh?
"rotates at a dizzying 1 million miles per hour"

from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFTS_102
"The peculiarity of this star is its projected equatorial velocity of
~600 km/s (about 2.000.000 km/h), making it the fastest rotating massive
star known.[4] The resulting centrifugal force tends to flatten the
star; material can be lost in the loosely bound equatorial regions,
allowing for the formation of a disk."

"Astrometry Radial velocity (Rv) 228[3] km/s"

Note that is article says "the fastest rotating massive star known."

If we include stars that are not considered to be massive it is a whole new ball game...

"The first millisecond pulsar, PSR B1937+21, was discovered in 1982 by Backer et al.[8] Spinning roughly 641 times a second, it remains the second fastest-spinning millisecond pulsar of the approximately 200 that have been discovered.[9] Pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad, discovered in 2005, is, as of 2012, the fastest-spinning pulsar currently known, spinning 716 times a second.[10][11]"
