NBA Players vs The Insta Stars

Instagram is a big engagement powerhouse, meaning that users are forever desiring more fresh content. As a result, the big players of Insta can earn some top $ from the popular platform. LeBron James is the wealthiest NBA player in terms of charge per post, earning a crazy $675K for each one. However, that is easily trumped by the youngest Jenner Kylie, who claims $1.8M for every sponsored post on Insta.
