R7 Million A Post – Please Enjoy The 2017 Instagram Rich List

Rack up those Instagram followers and you can make crazy money with a well-timed post. Just ask these folks, racking up millions for a few taps of the phone.

We all like to poke fun at influencers (we did it yesterday with that new movie HERE), throwing around those hashtags like it matters.

It does matter when you’re making a small fortune with a well-crafted sponsored post, though, so props to the Instagram celebs who are making it rain.

Topping the list is Selena Gomez, rocking 122 million followers on Instagram, who banks $550 000 (R7,1 million) per sponsored post.

That’ll do.

Let’s look at the full list then, with this below from HopperHQ – each celeb linked through their account:

  1. Selena Gomez – 122 million followers – $550,000 per post
  2. Kim Kardashian – 100 million followers – $500,000 per post
  3. Cristiano Ronaldo – 104 million followers – $400,000 per post
  4. Kylie Jenner – 95 million followers – $400,000 per post
  5. Kendall Jenner – 81.7 million followers – $370,000 per post
  6. Khloe Kardashian – 68 million followers – $250,000 per post
  7. Kourtney Kardashian – 57.8 million followers – $250,000 per post
  8. Cara Delevingne – 40.4 million followers – $150,000 per post
  9. Gigi Hadid 34.7 million followers – $120,000 per post
  10. Lebron James – 30.7 million followers – $120,000 per post

Those are all bona fide celebrities, but what about the peeps who have found their fame via social media itself?
