Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms that celebrities use to connect with their fans. By posting regular photos, videos and stories, they engage people and build their following. But Instagram has expanded and turned itself into a marketing opportunity. Brands partner with celebrities to promote their products and services. The more followers the ‘influencer’ has, the more brands want to sponsor them. But it all comes at a price. Some of the top paid Instagram influencers are making millions for a single sponsored post!
Kylie Jenner
When you read that name, you should have prepared yourself for the huge amount of money that’s associated with every picture she posts on Instagram. Let’s get straight to it – $1.2 million!
With more than 140 million followers on this platform, Kylie has been making the news for all her success including her makeup line receiving great response from the people.
