New York: Cristiano Ronaldo has now set an amazing feat and this time it is due to his incredible social media presence. After being named as the world’s highest-paid athlete by Forbes last month, the Portuguese superstar has now emerged as Instagram’s highest earner for the third consecutive year.
The list is compiled by Instagram scheduling tool Hopper HQ. It is based on internal and publicly available data on how much every Instagram user charges for a post. The numbers obtained from this list are absolutely mind-boggling. Ronaldo earns $3.23 million per Instagram post. Argentina’s Lionel Messi is second on the list, earning $2.6 million for each post.
The two footballers are miles ahead of other prominent names like singer/actress Selena Gomez, reality star Kylie Jenner and actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Brazilian footballer Neymar and Indian cricketer Virat Kohli are the other two notable athletes on this elite list.
