Canada's Highest-Earning Instagram Influencers Were Revealed & They Make Serious Coin

If you're wondering just how much Instagram influencers earn in Canada, we've got you covered. And, the amount of cash they actually rake in might be surprising to you.

According to data from NetCredit, the Insta earnings of top influencers in Canada have been revealed through an algorithm that estimates the top earner in each country.

"To reveal the world’s top Instagram earners, NetCredit first built a list of the most-followed Instagram stars from every country," they explained.

Then, they used figures from the Instagram rich list "to estimate the fee-per-ad for each country’s most-followed stars."

To get the final figure, they looked back at the amount of sponsored posts each influencer made in 2021 on the social media site and "multiplied this by their known or estimated ad fee."

And, well, some of these people get paid a lot.

Here's a look at Canada's top-earning Instagram influencers, according to NetCredit:

Outside of Canada, soccer star Christiano Ronaldo made the most in 2021 from sponsored posts, bringing in about $85 million.

He's followed by Lionel Messi, who made $71 million, Virat Kohli, who made $36 million, Ellen Degeneres, who made $33 million, and Beyonce, who also raked in $33 million.

Not bad going, eh?
