Ronaldo is Instagram's top earner after raking in £14million MORE from his posts than he does playing for Juventus. According to a new report from Buzz Bingo, the Portuguese superstar has retained his crown as the social media site's highest earner.

The 35-year-old, who also has the most followers on Instagram at 222m, raked in £41.7m from 43 sponsored posts in the past 12 months.

In comparison, Ronaldo was making £27.3m from his salary at Juventus, before any coronavirus-related pay cuts.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner saw an increase of £3.5m from his Instagram earnings in 2019 by pocketing an average of £971,000 per sponsored post.

Over the past year he promoted Nike, his fragrance CR7 Play it Cool and even an EMS training device called 'Sixpad'.

Ronaldo's longstanding rival Lionel Messi was beaten into the second spot after his sponsored posts collected a total of £25.2m, or £631,000 every time he made one.

The Barcelona captain has money-making partnerships with Adidas and regularly posts pictures of his globe-trotting lifestyle.

David Beckham was once again the highest-paid British star on the rich list for his posts to his 63m followers.

The 45-year-old is such a hit on the social media platform he scooped a whopping £9.6m despite retiring over seven years ago.

Some of his paid Instagram partnerships included posts for Tudor Watch, Marina Bay Sands Hotel and Kent & Curwen.

In a list dominated by athletes, Neymar is the fifth-highest sportsman after netting £6.7m from the social media site this year with a reported average of £617,000 per paid post.

Interestingly Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has the second most sponsored posts of all celebrities at 47, four above Ronaldo.

Yet the Poland international's lack of off-field exposure means he can only fetch around £76k per post and made just £3.58m for his troubles this year.

And despite being considered one of football's most marketable stars, Manchester United star Paul Pogba is ninth on Instagram's highest-earning athletes.

The Frenchman, who has a £290,000-a-week wage packet at Old Trafford, can make an additional £181k per sponsored post and scored £1.8m this year.

That was enough to see Pogba finish just above former Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

The £400k-a-week Belgian captain made £1.4m this year following his £122k fee for advertising to fans on social media.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a money making machine. People like him, money chase them not the other way round. After his retirement from football, he would be sought after for movies, advertisement, modeling, appearances etc...

Bravo ORORO the GOAT

we don hear...dts not our problem because they are both footballers and football aint played on I.G..incase u dnt kno messi jus joined recently and i hear some group of barca media team do control that page...call me when cr7 wins the next ucl, golden boot, any football trophies or awards and most especially the ballon d or because dts what they are both known for...last week its the first billionaire award and now its Instagram award, maybe next week would be twitter award and it would keep me thinking if cr7 is still a footballer or now a bussinessman that the media are now rating him based on business perspective bt i know for his fans, anything that would make it sound that he is better than messi is welcom...football would still resume, let him keep winning these awards and messi keeps winning on the pitch and we would see which of them uefa would rate to give next ballon d or...congrats cr7
