How Much Do Top Instagram Creators Make?

If there’s one social media platform that really, really understands 21st century people, it’s Instagram.

Given the short attention span in this millennium, the easiest way to get homo sapiens hooked is to show a bunch of pictures and videos in succession. Thanks to our ever-dwindling patience for reading, we flock to an image-laden platform like Instagram like paparazzi hounding Justin Bieber.

By “flock,” we mean in the billions: At the end of 2021, Instagram had amassed 2 billion monthly active users, and it can clear the 2.5 billion mark by 2023.

Faced with such staggering online traffic statistics, you can imagine the big bucks raked in by the top creators on Instagram. To begin with, some of these folks were already box-office superstars when the platform was still trying to establish a foothold. (Instagram infancy? Instagram infancy.)

In the case of other content creators, it’s the other way around: They leveraged the immense popularity of Instagram to successfully boost their brand. Now, they collect millions of dollars with one click. #blessed
