Cristiano Ronaldo named Instagram's top earner for the third year in a row

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again outstripped competition, clinching the title of Instagram's highest earner for the third successive year. The news comes after Ronaldo was acknowledged as the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in July, accentuating his move to Saudi Arabia.

According to the 2023 Instagram Rich List compiled by Hopper HQ, an Instagram scheduling



tool, Ronaldo earns a staggering USD 3.23 million per Instagram post. This hefty sum comes as Ronaldo approaches nearly 600 million followers on the social media giant.

Only two other athletes, Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Brazilian footballer Neymar, reached the top 20, with Neymar earning nearly twice per post as his fellow Paris Saint-Germain teammate, Kylian Mbappe.
