£760k a post: Who made Instagram rich list?
In a world where social media followers equal dollars, the Kardashian-Jenner clan have once again proved their prowess.
Kylie Jenner is queen of this year’s Instagram rich list, with sisters Kim Kardashian West and Kendall Jenner taking the fourth and tenth spot respectively. While not an exact science, the list estimates the amount each celebrity influencer is estimated to make per post on the photo-sharing site.
While Kylie Jenner didn’t have the most followers (lagging behind last year’s rich list winner Selena Gomez by around 30 million fans), she does appear to command the highest fee – a snip at $1m (£760k) per post.
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo made third place while singer Beyonce took the fifth spot.
Khloe Kardarshian just missed out on a top ten spot, coming in 11th on the list.
The list, published by UK-based social media marketing firm Hopper HQ, was published for the first time last year.
It’s been a good year for Kylie Jenner, who was also ranked the third highest earning celebrity of the year by Forbes, and identified as the youngest of the business magazine’s richest “self-made” woman of 2017.
Jenner has amassed a fortune of $900m (£681m) in less than three years according to Forbes, with most of her wealth coming from her make-up line, Kylie Cosmetics – estimated to be worth about $800m (£600m).
