In the age of influencers, social media has become a place you can actually make a bit of cash – but these folks are taking cashing in to the next level!
Instagram has been around for almost seven years now and in that time it has evolved from just being a simple photo-sharing app to one of the most dominant social media platforms.
Even though it’s free to use, Instagrammers have figured out a way to monetise their posts and get filthy rich from just posting a picture.
HopperHQ, an Instagram scheduling site, used both internal data and public information to create an Instagram rich list and ranked the top 10 users by how much they earn per post.
