He is not only the best batsman of modern era, but team India’s captain Virat Kohli is also one of the most followed athletes on social media – not just in India but around the world as well – with over 15 million Instagram followers, 20 million on Twitter and over 36 million on Facebook. And because of these mind-boggling numbers, Kohli charges a lot of money for posting something on his social media accounts.
According to Forbes, Kohli’s brand value is higher than football legend Lionel Messi, golf superstar Rory McIlroy and Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry. Kohli earns a whopping $500,000 (Rs 3.2 crore) per promotional post on Instagram, that is the same amount as football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Comedian Kevin Hart is the highest-paid celebrity on this list as he charges Rs 6.4 crore (1 million Pounds) for posting on social media.
