Recently, HopperHQ, an Instagram-related tool that can analyze internal data, has publicly disclosed the earnings of athletes through this social network. Accordingly, Messi standing in the 3rd position, lesser than Ronaldo.

The Portuguese player who has 177 million followers on Instagram, each of Ronaldo's post receives $975,000. Neymar Jr. with 123 million followers earns $722,000/post and Messi only ranked third with $648,000 for a post with 126.5 million followers.

Worth mentioning, no matter how much the money is made compared to Ronaldo, the tennis stars are not rivals of CR7 in this category. This is not hard to understand because the Instagram page of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal only has about 7 million followers, so the amount they earn for each post is only around $ 50,000, which is less than 20 times compared to Ronaldo.
