Ronaldo, now playing in Saudi Arabia, has raked it in promoting sports website LiveScore, wellness brand Therabody and cryptocurrency exchange Binance on his account.

The Portuguese star, a dad of five, is a big draw because he has 597million Instagram followers, the most on the site.

Kylie, 25, has cashed in by plugging fashion giant Jean Paul Gaultier and brands named after her, such as Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Swim.

Third in the Instagram Rich List is footballer Lionel Messi, 36, who can command £1.38million for a sponsored post.

He is the site's second-most followed star with 479million fans and has shared paid-for posts for adidas and Budweiser.

Fourth on the list is singer Selena Gomez, 30, followed by actor Dwayne Johnson, 51.

Kylie is ahead of her half-sisters Kim Kardashian, 42, and Khloe, 39, at No6 and No9 respectively. Her model sister Kendall, 27, is in tenth.

It comes after Kylie admitted she felt the family had a responsibility to young women who saw their posts.

She said: "We have huge influence and, like, what are we doing with that power? I just see so many young girls on the internet now fully editing (their pictures).

"I went through that stage, too. I feel like I'm in a better place but other people can instil insecurities in you."
