Biography & Early Wealth Journey

The list is divided into eight categories: celebrity, beauty, fashion, fitness, food, lifestyle, sport, and travel. The list is compiled using internal and publicly available data from HopperHQ, an Instagram scheduling tool, to determine the highest paid celebrities and influencers on IG. The list factors in average engagement, how many followers, and how often the person posts. These three things determine how much each celebrity could charge per post.
