For the fifth year in a row, planning tool Hopper HQ has published the rankings of the richest influencers on Instagram in 2021. So who are they this year? Make your predictions, then check out our blog post. We’ll reveal everything!
All-star influencers: who are they?
All-star influencers are known by their activity besides social networks: movie celebrities, models… They represent different categories that appeal on social networks such as fashion, sports, and many others. Thanks to their celebrity, they accumulate millions of followers on Instagram! This social network has become an essential tool in a social media marketing strategy, but also in an influencer marketing strategy. In fact, in 2021, 83% of brand-influencer partnerships are made on Instagram. Brand publications can therefore have a considerable impact on the consumer’s buying journey.
For some influencers, it has become a very lucrative business and in particular for celebrities who are among the top 10 richest influencers of 2021. However, these mega-influencers are not the only ones to succeed on Instagram. American Emma Chamberlain is considered by Time Magazine to be one of the most influential content creators and now has a community of 14.7 million followers.
This year, several personalities remain on the podium, but perhaps one day we will see macro-influencers in this top 10 richest Instagram influencers?
