Cristiano Ronaldo tops richest Instagram celeb list

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo might still be licking his wounds after an early exit from UEFA Euro 2020 after a loss to Belgium last week but he has some else to cheer about off the field. The Juventus star has risen to the top of Instagram’s yearly rich list of celebrities who can charge the most for a sponsored post, with the footballer commanding as much as $1.6 million (£1.2 million) to endorse any product on the social media platform.

The 36-year-old footballer has toppled former WWE superstar and current Hollywood bigshot Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson off the top spot. This is a major upheaval as for the first time anyone other than reality TV, film, and music stars from the United States has topped the list which started in 2017.

The amount increased significantly in a year, nearly doubling from the previous estimate of $889,000 in 2019. The third-placed Portuguese footballer in 2019 beat Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Kylie Jenner.
