Topping the list is once again Juventus and Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo - earning £784,000 per post. The next in line is Neymar, who earns £580,000, followed by Lionel Messi with £521,000.

David Beckham is at fourth, LeBron James at fifth, Ronaldinho at seventh, Gareth Bale at eighth and Luis Suarez at tenth.

How does Hopper HQ work

To determine the richest sportspersons on Instagram, Hopper HQ analyses data based on average engagement. It depends on how often these celebrities post and the number of followers they have. While Kohli has 38.1 million followers on Instagram, Ronaldo has 176 million.
