LeBron James is Far Behind Soccer Legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi When it Comes to Instagram Earnings
LeBron James is wealthy, and the Los Angeles Lakers star makes even more money by sharing sponsors’ tales with his Instagram followers. On the court, the future Hall of Famer lives up to his moniker King James, and as a paid endorsement, he lords over practically all players on social media. The Hopper website continuously publishes a list of celebrities who are paid by Instagram, along with the precise sums they get for each post.
LeBron James makes the list, but he isn’t as highly ranked as the other three sportsmen. He is the 24th highest-paid individual on the platform. Given that influencers, singers, actors, and other famous people essentially run Instagram.

Hopper’s research has finally made clear how much money LeBron makes from his Instagram postings. He does, however, fall short of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world’s best soccer players. Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Khloe Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner round out the Top 10 list.
The only other NBA player higher than LeBron James on this list is Stephen Curry, who is rated No. 44. The Golden State Warriors player makes $230,000 each Instagram post and has 42+ million followers.
