A report has revealed that footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest earning celebrity on Instagram. He made $47.8 million just on Instagram last year, that is even more than the amount of money he earns for playing football for his club Juventus.
His earnings from sponsored Instagram posts were about $14 million more than the annual $34 million he makes while playing for Juventus, according to Goal.com.
He has left behind even Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez
Cristiano Ronaldo charges $975,000 for every advertised post he makes on Instagram, and in this regard he has surpassed the likes of Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Grande etc — according to a Buzz Bingo report.
On Instagram, Ronaldo makes double the amount of money than Messi
On the other hand, Ronaldo’s on-field rival Lionel Messi’s earnings from Instagram were $23.3 million — about half of what Ronaldo collected.
With 187 million followers, Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram and companies are willing to pay even $1 million to advertise themselves through his posts.
Hopper HQ’s Nicola Cronin told Business Insider:
Due to his status as a celebrity and football star, his earnings from Instagram break away from typical influencer partnerships, as many of his promotional posts will be part of wider sponsorship deals, such as Nike.
“You only need to go on his Instagram to see how many paid partnerships he does outside of the sports market,” Cronin added.
