Gym Class Heroes

No pain, no gain: all six males in the top 10 Instagram earners are athletes. More specifically, all are world-renowned soccer players.

Cristiano Ronaldo is earning more money than anyone in the world from Instagram. He earns an average annual income of $47.8 million annually from the platform.

In fact, Ronaldo earns more money from posting on Instagram than he does playing soccer. The Juventus Forward earns 31 million euros ($34.4 million) per season through his contract with the Series A squad.

Barcelona's Lionel Messi pulls in $23.3 million yearly from Instagram. 

Unlike Ronaldo, the Argentinian does actually earn more on the field than on Instagram. Messi's La Liga contract earns him $35.8 million per season.
