These are the 10 richest Instagrammers in the world

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.
