Most of us wake up to the bright screen of our phones and sleep looking at the same screen. And among everything’s there on the little gadget that’s within our palm, Instagram is one of our favorites! It’s colorful, interesting and there are hardly any aunties or uncles who will stalk you (unlike on Facebook). We share our selfies, travel photos, food photos, and almost every other experience worth remembering, with our followers on Instagram. To us, it’s a platform to connect with our friends and like-minded people. But, did you know that Instagram is one of the most important advertising media today?
If you are an influencer or an “Instagram model” with a few thousand followers, you would have probably been approached by small-scale businesses to promote their brand in your posts. And all this is not for free, you get paid! And if someone who isn’t really that famous can get paid for just a post, imagine how much the real-life celebrities would be earning on Instagram? Many celebrities all over the world earn quite a lot through their blue-ticked Instagram profile. Actress, entrepreneur, and producer Priyanka Chopra and Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli are the ones who top the list of Indian celebrities when considering their earnings over the social media platform.
According to the Instagram Rich List 2019, Priyanka and Virat are the only two Indian celebrities to enter the 100 member list. While Priyanka is at the 19th position on the list as she charges $271,000 per post, fashion icon and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner tops the list with $1,266,000 per post. Kylie, the 22-year-old businesswoman, and media personality was named as the youngest billionaire on earth by Forbes magazine, earlier this year.
Coming back to the Indian celebrities, Priyanka Chopra Jonas isn’t just a Bollywood actress today and she has become a global icon in the past decade. If you closely observe her Instagram account, she doesn’t just have Indian fans. People all over the world are hailing PeeCee. India is a country, where the wage gap is quite evident even in the most developed and modern sectors of employment. Bollywood and regional film industries aren’t exceptions to this fact. Last year, according to Forbes, Deepika Padukone is the only female celebrity to enter the top ten of the richest Indian celebrity list. Gladly, the scenario has been changing in the past few years and more women-centric movies have been made in our country. And, Priyanka with her newly found phase in career is speeding towards the top of this list.
Priyanka, who was crowned as Miss World in 2000, soon made it to Bollywood without many difficulties. In 2010, she won the national award for best actress for Fashion, proving that she isn’t just a good model, but also a terrific actor. In 2012, she took a dip in the pop music industry by singing in the album In My City. In the video of her debut international single, she is seen to share screen space with popular American rapper and singer will.i.am. And later, she climbed into the stairway to global fame by starring as the lead in ABC’s Quantico. She became a popular name in Hollywood after movies like Baywatch and Isn’t It Romantic? And after her wedding to one of the Jonas Brothers, her fame just shot up to the sky.
Today, Priyanka Chopra has a very successful career and she has been endorsing many huge brands like Nikon, Google Pixel, Pilot Pen USA, Obagi Medical, Pantene, and GAP. PeeCee is definitely one of the strongest Indian faces in the international media. Today, she isn’t just confined to the entertainment industry. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and also the brand ambassador for Assam Tourism. And with her career skyrocketing, we aren’t really surprised that Priyanka charges $271,000 per post for Instagram endorsements and promotions. She has a whopping 44.8 million followers on the social media platform and is pretty active in posting her colorful life stories on the internet.
The other Indian celebrity, our beloved skipper Kohli is at the 23rd position and charges around $196,000 per post. Captain Kohli has paid partnerships with sports brand giants and regularly posts photos and videos as a part of brand promotion. Virat has around 41.4 million followers on Instagram and is among the most popular Indian sports personalities on an international level.
By making the most out of Instagram while at the peak of their careers, PeeCee and Virat have quite a lot to teach us! Like we said before, if you have an active and fairly popular Instagram account, you can earn money on the platform as well. Let us know your thoughts on this in the comments below.
