It’s still shocking to me that the annual money made on the platform increases every year: Mike Bandar

Kohli is the only Indian who is in the top 20 list globally. The report states that the 34-year-old charges USD 1.38 million per post on Instagram. His earnings cost INR 11.45 crore for a single post. He has 256 million followers on Instagram. Hopper HQ’s co-founder, Mike Bandar was shocked to see how the global superstars’ earnings have soared over the years on Instagram.
“It’s still shocking to me that the annual money made on the platform increases every year. Yet, what fascinates me more is the consistent players at the top. It’s apparent that the glitz and glamour of traditional celebrities still holds power over the new ‘influencer’ status. Ronaldo and Messi not only dominate the pitch, but also the digital sphere as it’s clear they personify the power of personal branding and the influence it holds over us ‘ordinary’ people,” Bandar was quoted as saying
