This is in spite of the fact that both Selena and Cristiano have more Instagram followers than Kylie. Kylie currently has 111 million followers while Selena has 139 million and Cristiano has 136 million followers.
Kylie also beats her elder half-sister Kim Kardashian, who placing at 4, earns an average of $720,000 per post.
Mike Bandar, co-founder of HopperHQ.com said of Kylie’s Instagram success:
“I’m not surprised that Kylie Jenner has topped this year’s list, as far as social media marketing goes, she has it down to a tee. Kylie was introduced to the public through her family’s reality show, but she has forged her own billion-dollar career and harnessed the power of Instagram to build a global, loyal, engaged following that brands are willing to pay top dollar for!”
