    • Cristiano Ronaldo apparently earns more from Instagram than he does from playing soccer for Juventus.












    • Ronaldo's reported income from Instagram makes him the platform's highest earner, ahead of Lionel Messi and Kylie Jenner.




    • "Ronaldo is the most followed human on Instagram," a marketing executive from Hopper told Business Insider. "Companies are paying almost $1 million for posts to access his insane reach."

    No. Companies are paying him to post on Instagram about their product/business/etc.

    Reaching 186m engaged people is tough. To be able to do it everyday is insane. The Super Bowl gets about 150m if they're lucky.

    Kylie Jenner makes an estimated $1 million per sponsored post on her Instagram, which makes her the highest paid celebrity influencer on the social media platform. Selena Gomez, who gets $800,000 per sponsored post, and star soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo, who earns $750,000.
