Hopper HQ has once again revealed the highest-paid celebrities on Instagram right now, and suffice it to say, the numbers โ€“ both in followership and $$$ โ€“ will raise eyebrows/frustrate you to no end.

Last year, socialite, cosmetics mogul, and Forbes confirmed billionaire Kylie Jenner (300 million followers) was dethroned by the smiling giant himself, Dwayne โ€˜The Rockโ€™ Johnson (289 million followers). This year, itโ€™s Johnsonโ€™s turn to step aside for Premier League superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (389 million followers) โ€” who earns over $1.6 million per sponsored post. Thatโ€™s just a touch more than CR7โ€™s perennial career rival Lionel Messi, who apparently charges about $1.17 million.

But youโ€™d be mistaken in thinking Kylie Jenner and The Rock are slumming it despite their respective #4 and #2 positions for 2022. Primary sources of income aside, a commercial shoutout from both accounts will set you back roughly $1.5 million each. Which certainly isnโ€™t pocket change.

Ms Jenner isnโ€™t exactly the sole IG hustler in her clan, either. Coming in at #6, Kim Kardashian (278 million followers) regularly cashes in an average of $1.42 million a post, followed by Kendall Jenner (212 million followers) at #10 with a respectable fee of $1 million, Khloe Kardashian (211 million followers) at #13 whose favour costs $949,000, rounded out by Kourtney Kardashian (159 million followers) at #17 with $785,000.
