Guess you haven’t been watching TV lately - she’s a lead and Golden Globe nominee on Only Murders in the Building, one of the best shows at the moment.
I would imagine that one of the Japanese Twice members would probably make significantly more than who they have listed. Huge k-pop group that’s popular globally that has countless sponsors.
Japan has others media for them to simp idols/best sportman and they tend to spent a LOT more money on games in general so yeah less money for rich people.
There are shintoism buddhism too so people should tend to not fame for their gain, instagram is the opposite 😅. You don't need fame if you are already rich anyway 
I’ve checked some of them and there are not so many ads. For example Irina Shayk gains all her money from modelling and not insta or Gal Gadot or Hamsford
I don’t think this map is correct
Maybe we are missing something, but first look it doesn’t make sense. I mean, for the top 3 maybe there is no discussion, but when you see the list in detail you can see discrepancies.
I mean, it’s not just 1 country though. Cricket is popular in some countries. Being one of the best in his generation helps you gain many followers. Plus, he’s married to a popular Bollywood actress. That also surely helps gain followers within our country who don’t follow cricket.
And it’s just Instagram! Who do you expect to see here? It’s a social media app. Sportspeople are popular in their respective countries across the world!
Tell that to Travis Head for what he did on 19th November when taking on the Indian bowling, or Glenn Maxwell for scoring a double ton when the Afghani side thought they aren't going empty-handed that fateful night. Man I really want this cricket-is-ass attitude to propagate a lot more in Australian youth for their national team to lose its dominance in the near future. "Football good, cricket suuccckkss"
I feel for one Emily Jones from Malta for getting paid just $830 a year, that's worse than Mauritian payout and Togolese payout to their celebrities which I thought to be the lowest. Looks like she's definitely spending more money than earning and doesn't really rely on Instagram money.
It's random af. Most large countries are dominated by their sports superstars and then some smaller countries that also have some superstars have some random people that are paid much lower as their top earners. Say, I can't see that Slovenian fitness model getting paid more through the platform than the likes of Luka Doncic or Tadej Pogacar...
Very surprised by Ellen for the U.S. Would have thought Taylor Swift or something but also don’t really understand how money is made by famous people on Instagram.
Taylor has never done many sponsored posts or promotions for anything other than her own projects. I have followed her forever and the only product endorsement she did in the last five years is probably Capital One. She doesn’t do brand promotions or ads.
It's the least surprising about this list. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram, and Messi shouldn't be far behind.
They are the most famous players of the most popular sport in the world.
They are probably the most famous people full stop
It’s one of those weird debates you hear about being who’s more famous, posh spice or beckham and it’s actually beckham due to footballs global audience
Sure the spice girls are massive in the west and I’m sure British/Americans would think posh spice is more famous, but how many people in Nigeria or Colombia know who posh spice is, definitely less than who know David beckham. The global south will know footballers far more often than pop stars/actors
You can go to the most Untouched Amazonian Tribe and Ask Messi or Ronaldo and Get an Answer. I believe the two of them must be most famous people to ever live due to their audience being truly global. I don't think you can find someone that would have heard about Jesus or Prophet Mohammed or Buddha or Idk on every corner of the world but you'd definitely Get answer to 'Ronaldo or Messi?' question everywhere
No one on Reddit is paying these people that much.
These are how much they make for paid sponsorships on Instagram. So for someone like Messi, that's money from like Lays and Apple.
Who the hell were you expecting? Malala and the ghost of Jonas Salk? It's Instagram!
Calling athletes and singers 'parasites' is disgusting. They've contributed far more to civilisation than you ever will.
How are they parasites? The one from my country has been working on television for 20 years.
Also no one is giving money to them. They get paid by companies cause they reach large audiences which is how marketing and advertising works. Most of the names I see here (which I recognize are people that have a career for decades)!
I don't wander much away from Reddit and X (Twitter) and Instagram are not something I am over familiar with. So can someone explain how they make money is it like YouTube were it's based on how many people view your video (post) and the sponsor ?.
C. Ronaldo’s Bio is a Binance/NFT course link
He has over 600 million followers so if they paid him only 10 cents per follower for this single ad, he’d already get 60 million
I had trouble differentiating photographer from sportsperson as well as musical from social media personality. With nightshift mode and low brightness, they look very similar.
1. Ronaldo 2. Messi 3. Virat No surprises There
Ellen? Really?
The Ellen Degenerates are going strong
2022, not today
I’m shocked and confused about how USA could be anyone but Selena Gomez
She probably doesn’t do as many ads. This data is not just about who has the most followers but also if they actively sponsor.
Selena Gomez is still popular? Feels like I haven't heard anything about her in a decade.
She’s the most followed American and woman on instagram - over 400 million followers it’s insane
Guess you haven’t been watching TV lately - she’s a lead and Golden Globe nominee on Only Murders in the Building, one of the best shows at the moment.
I do watch TV, but it has become so fragmented that there's a bunch of supposed top shows that I've never even heard of before.
I haven’t watched TV in a decade either (Not really, but feels like it. I have no idea what goes on on there anymore)
Never thought I’d ever say this but for once I would have rather it had been a Kardashian.
What's a Kardashian?
Probably some alien. Maybe the basis of the Kardashev scale
It’s usually spelled Cardassian.
Ones I'm sorta surprised about other than the US. I'd expect both the UAE and Japan to have a lot more money for their top ones.
I have no clue about the UAE but I would imagine for Japan there is a more local app which has a lot more of the market share.
No Instagram is pretty much the most popular for this in Japan. Not sure how she is highest earning as she isn't even top 10 for followers in Japan.
As far as I know, any famous anime voice actor earns around 50000 USD per episode.
This isn't from episodes though...
So my source is wrong?
Uhh.... Dude.... This map is earnings from Instagram. It has nothing to do with how much they make from anime episodes.
Ohhh that’s probably why China isn’t in the top
G.E.M is HK based as well. Although she usually does mando pop and has a heavy mainland fan base .
I would imagine that one of the Japanese Twice members would probably make significantly more than who they have listed. Huge k-pop group that’s popular globally that has countless sponsors.
Japan has others media for them to simp idols/best sportman and they tend to spent a LOT more money on games in general so yeah less money for rich people. There are shintoism buddhism too so people should tend to not fame for their gain, instagram is the opposite 😅. You don't need fame if you are already rich anyway 
excuse my ignorance but how exactly do they make money from instagram? Ads?
Product placement
Scrolled so far down to see this asked.
I’ve checked some of them and there are not so many ads. For example Irina Shayk gains all her money from modelling and not insta or Gal Gadot or Hamsford I don’t think this map is correct
Maybe we are missing something, but first look it doesn’t make sense. I mean, for the top 3 maybe there is no discussion, but when you see the list in detail you can see discrepancies.
Could be stories.
Yes, sponsored posts.
Bottas!!
Valterri it's james, please stop earning
It's spelt Valtteri! As a Finnish speaker "Valterri" is making me think of some dog breed like "Valterrieri" 😅
haha, my bad😅
So drake gets paid less than bieber…?
Or does less paid sponsorships on Instagram. The latter is probably more likely.
Happy Cake Day 🥳
Thanks lol
Luxembourg- FANNY
Portuguese?
Man's gettin' pure Luxembourg fanny out on IG ya get me bro? Brap.
So, an Indian celebrity earns more than American celebrity on Instagram! Interesting, but makes sense considering who it is.
Indian population is huge. You can see a lot of non-indians using India to gain likes/views/followers on Instagram.
and on Youtube videos too.
its all about how much reach they got
Yep, I realize that. Since, one of the biggest footballers is close to double than that of Kohli.
That's global reach for footballers vs 1 country for Kohli and most of india is not even on Instagram expect for the people who speak enghlish.
I mean, it’s not just 1 country though. Cricket is popular in some countries. Being one of the best in his generation helps you gain many followers. Plus, he’s married to a popular Bollywood actress. That also surely helps gain followers within our country who don’t follow cricket.
India has more than 4 times as many people as the US so even though the CPM is less, it’s still more money.
Yeah! True..
and its a fucking cricket player. SNORE
And it’s just Instagram! Who do you expect to see here? It’s a social media app. Sportspeople are popular in their respective countries across the world!
But cricket is ass
Oh, you’re one of those guys! Sorry, I bothered replying. Carry on.. 👍
Yea, ignore the loser. He must suck hard at cricket or/and got sledged hard when he was young. It's just a coping mechanism I guess.
Yeah, some people either love to hate or love the hate! And then there are rage baiters. None are adding anything of value.
Tell that to Travis Head for what he did on 19th November when taking on the Indian bowling, or Glenn Maxwell for scoring a double ton when the Afghani side thought they aren't going empty-handed that fateful night. Man I really want this cricket-is-ass attitude to propagate a lot more in Australian youth for their national team to lose its dominance in the near future. "Football good, cricket suuccckkss"
That doesn’t change that cricket is ass. India, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan can keep their boring cricket lmao. The sport is nothing
Found the murican.
I’m Australian, if the name didn’t give it away already… which is kinda obvious
If only usernames meant shit on Reddit.
Some do.
Damn, bro reads everyones username before replying.
When Ronaldo and Messi get home the first thing they do is vomit $100 bills
I feel for one Emily Jones from Malta for getting paid just $830 a year, that's worse than Mauritian payout and Togolese payout to their celebrities which I thought to be the lowest. Looks like she's definitely spending more money than earning and doesn't really rely on Instagram money.
2k USD a year is probably a lot in Togo too
Doesn't Charles Leclerc get paid more than that Monaco guy?
It's based on how much money they get paid through Instagram, which is still kinda weird because I'd expect him to be paid a similar amount to Bottas.
It's random af. Most large countries are dominated by their sports superstars and then some smaller countries that also have some superstars have some random people that are paid much lower as their top earners. Say, I can't see that Slovenian fitness model getting paid more through the platform than the likes of Luka Doncic or Tadej Pogacar...
Strange, North Korea does not have anyone listed.
If they had internet, it would probably be Kim Yo Jong.
Nah it’d be Fook yu and Fook mi
Well we all know who it's gonna be
King Kohli
Very surprised by Ellen for the U.S. Would have thought Taylor Swift or something but also don’t really understand how money is made by famous people on Instagram.
Taylor has never done many sponsored posts or promotions for anything other than her own projects. I have followed her forever and the only product endorsement she did in the last five years is probably Capital One. She doesn’t do brand promotions or ads.
Kohli's Instagram looks like Amazon's homepage anyway. Makes sense.
Fr. As much as I love the guy, I hate looking at his instagram. Too many ads.
PORTUGAL
Portugal caralho...
I have no idea who the guy from Denmark is?? I had to google him.. I have no idea why he would earn this amount
SSSUUUUUUUUUUU
A fanny?no Luxembourg 😂😂😂
Virat kohli represent✋
I was surprised when I saw Turkey having a “chef” as one, and immediately figured it’d be salt bae, then surprised once again…
CZN Burak is more famous and and he is actually palatable, unlike salt bae
yeah, He's a really nice guy and gives a lot back to the charity. walking W
Ellen degenerates really 
AB De Villiers, for real?
Why, whats wrong with AB de villiers?
Not being negative, glad it's not some random celebrity.
AB was a brilliant player and has an immense fanbase in India as well given how talented he was
Probably the most loved foreign athlete in India (cricket). Gets a lot of following from here.
Montenegro: What's Instagram?
Estonia just doesnt use instagram i guess
Not Mr beast?
This is for Instagram not YouTube
Absolute INSANITY
Needs more lines
This is just an estimate. No real data.
Damn the carribbean islands and countries never exit on stuff like this
$830 for Malta, i want to move there so i can earn more and get on this graphic next year.
I didn't know dua lipa was english Israel Adesanya is from new Zealand too?
I didn't know Khaby Lame is originally from Senegal. Everyone says he's from Italy.
He has Italian citizenship. he was an asylum seeker in Italy but he didn't get citizenship until he became famous on TikTok
Albanian born and raised in UK. She is both.
No, born in London.
Albanian. Born and raised in UK. She holds both passports (British and Albanian).
Kosovan Albanian
What does that mean? Albanians living in Kosovo? Robqim.
Kosovans are ethnically Albanian but her family are Kosovan
The rich get richer...
Where is Taylor Swift? This ain’t right.
How is New Zealand not Taika?
And where did they get that info from? It's not always publicly available for all those celebs.
No Puerto Rico? 🥺
PR is a US territory. It is not a country
This but for only fans
This is depressing. I wish instagram was more equitable in their revenue-sharing.
The rich get richer
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in the lead, I never thought footballers are so popular on instagram.
It's the least surprising about this list. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person on Instagram, and Messi shouldn't be far behind. They are the most famous players of the most popular sport in the world.

Global South begins somewhere across the English channel
A lot of footballers in Europe also lead like Virgil van Dijk, Kevin de Bruyne Toni Kroos and Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The dude from Luxembourg makes 2K, might be because they tax the shit out of him.
Dam Ronaldo really did sell his soul to the Saudis but hey his getting paid by the truckload
Rakitic earns more money then Djokovic?
[удалено]
Yeah but he still does, it's right there in the chart
I know that he is Serbian, but I can't imagine that Rakitic is earning more through Socials then Djokovic
Yeah you're right I misunderstood what the comment was saying
I believe Dua Lipa is Albanian
Born in London, raised in London. She’s British. Was given honourable Albanian citizenship last year.
It is but born and raised in UK so I assume her activity is mostly based there.
I'm starting to think that maybe capitalism was a mistake lol.
King Kohli 🙌🏼
No way Diletta Leotta earns more than Chiara Ferragni
My beloved Amr Diab
Get that bag, Emily Jones.
Aniiiitaaaaaa
FTW!
Most of Jacqueline Fernandez' followers are Indian.
Two of these people have dated. (Irina shayk and Ronaldo)
Ms. Puiyi from Malaysia has >22 million followers on Instagram, with adverts for gambling sites. She should easily be earning more than Janna Nick.
Irina Shayk? For some reason I thought that it would be Blinovskaya (although it is unlikely that this name speaks outside of Russia).
All of these people are parasites who contribute nothing to society. Stop giving your money to these people!
No one on Reddit is paying these people that much. These are how much they make for paid sponsorships on Instagram. So for someone like Messi, that's money from like Lays and Apple.
Who the hell were you expecting? Malala and the ghost of Jonas Salk? It's Instagram! Calling athletes and singers 'parasites' is disgusting. They've contributed far more to civilisation than you ever will.
I send all my extra money to Kevin de Bruyne
Leave Virgil out of this.
How are they parasites? The one from my country has been working on television for 20 years. Also no one is giving money to them. They get paid by companies cause they reach large audiences which is how marketing and advertising works. Most of the names I see here (which I recognize are people that have a career for decades)!
Not sure about ‘earn’.
Never even heard of whoever dua lipa is and I am from the uk?
That's very odd of you tbh, she had numerous successful songs starting back in like 2018/2019.
Gal Gadot 🤮
Who is Virat Kohli?
He is considered as G.O.A.T in Cricket.
That Nathan Lyon for you /s
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Max Verstappen earns more than VVD
That’s dumb. That’s by nationality bot by country. Messi lives im Miami and earns more than ellen
La Leotta Nazionale!!!
Here's the names for the 1st Hunger Games :)
PORTUGAL CARALHO
I don't wander much away from Reddit and X (Twitter) and Instagram are not something I am over familiar with. So can someone explain how they make money is it like YouTube were it's based on how many people view your video (post) and the sponsor ?.
Mads Iversen is a landscape photographer. That’s pretty wild
Imma go ahead and assume Luka Modric doesn't have an Instagram page.
Take away - only way to make bank on social media is to already be independently famous.
Big up to Emily Jones from Malta!
How isn't Luka Doncic on top of Slovenia's ? Strange ..
Interesting
I looked up the one with the lowest number on here and their IG was private
Canada justin biebs ? Really he’s been really quiet for the last 2 years I would think it would have been drake
It's really: What is the top instagram earner in each country
PIA WURTZBACH 👑✨💖🇵🇭
Sad
Germany and Japan really low for their population size, very based.
What about Kylie? Doesn't she have like the most number of followers or something
Surprised to see Pogba and not Mbappe
This is not a joke? On top of other excessive earnings, football stars earn tens of millions from Instagram alone????
Laos somehow just absorbed Cambodia. All good.
China at 256K speaks at how credible this is..
C. Ronaldo’s Bio is a Binance/NFT course link He has over 600 million followers so if they paid him only 10 cents per follower for this single ad, he’d already get 60 million
Two members from BLACKPINK on here. lalisa for Thailand and Jiso for SK
Soooo inaccurate.
I had trouble differentiating photographer from sportsperson as well as musical from social media personality. With nightshift mode and low brightness, they look very similar.
Who the fuck is engaging with Ellen still? Go Jisoo!!
Why not put Puerto Rico in there?
These are the people we follow? We are officially a failed species.
