A picture might be worth a thousand words, but celebrity Instagram posts are worth a lot more than that.

For the second year in a row, Hopper HQ analyzed internal and publicly available data to curate their Instagram Rich List 2018. The ranking reveals which celebrities, athletes, models and influencers rake in the most dough from the social media site. 

Kylie Jenner, who came in at No. 3 on Forbes’ 2018 list of the world’s 100 richest entertainers, rose three spots from her position on last year’s Instagram Rich List to take the crown. With 138 million followers, the uber-famous makeup mogul can charge up to $1 million for a single post. 

Pop singer Selena Gomez and soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo round out the top three, earning up to $800,000 and $750,000 per post, respectively.
