Social media platforms add extra bucks to the pockets of influencers. The more famous a person is, the more views their posts will get and the more money they will earn. However, when a celebrity shares a post on social media, their views and earnings go skyrocketing. 

The winner of two separate weight divisions of the UFC, Conor McGregor, has a pretty lavish lifestyle. He has become the highest earner from Instagram in all of Ireland. 

Conor McGregor earned the highest from social media in Ireland

Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor stands beside the highest-paid athletes in the world. Apart from his bouts, the UFC star has several other sources of income. These include his clothing brand, ‘August McGregor’, his whiskey, ‘Proper No 12’ and, of course, Instagram. 

The Notorious has earned $976,130 USD from Instagram. These numbers placed him in the ninth rank for the highest-paid celebrity in the European region. Without a doubt, he has bagged the title for the highest Instagram-earning Irish. After all, he is the Irish fighter with the highest number of followers on Instagram. However, the numbers were not enough to get him on the world’s top ten list.

America’s top Instagram earners

The TV sensitivity and host of ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, Ellen DeGeneres stands atop as the highest Instagram earner in the United States. She earns about $33.72 million USD per year from Instagram posts, according to a study by NetCredit.

Many other celebrities balance the charts. For example, Kylie Jenner earns $1.8 million USD per post on Instagram, which is followed by Kim Kardashian, with $1.68 million USD per post. The ex-WWE wrestler and Hollywood star, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, follows the lead. A single motivational post from ‘The Rock’ makes him $1.6 million USD.
