Conducting a study into the figures, the agency has revealed a list of the 20 highest paid footballers from Instagram posts in 2021.

The list includes recognisable names from the modern era and from years gone by, including footballing legends David Beckham and Ronaldinho, whose global stardom has rocketed them up the ladder past several other big names.

20. Alex Morgan – £451,262
Boasting a whopping 9.4m followers on Instagram, United States women’s national team star Morgan made over £450k in 2021 through partnerships with brands like iFit and STATSports.

19. Zinedine Zidane – £509,307
The former Real Madrid boss is the only football manager to be included on the list and while he likes to show off his padel tennis skills on his Instagram page, Zidane often links up with Adidas to promote new advertising campaigns for the sports brand.

18. Raphael Varane – £548,993
World Cup winner Varane had 19 sponsored posts in 2021, including advertisements for cryptocurrency trading site Crypto.com and clothing brand BOSS.

17. Ivan Rakitic – £633,613
Another player who has endorsed cryptocurrency websites in the past is Croatian midfielder Rakitic, who, per Goal, took a £4m pay cut to join Sevilla from Barcelona in 2021.

It’s clear he’s making a fair bit of that back now through social media.

16. Karim Benzema – £775,340
According to Marca, Benzema earns $180k per week playing for Spanish giants Real Madrid but sits at a rather lowly 16th in this list, considering he is currently one of the most prolific goal scorers in world football.

15. Kylian Mbappe – £861,230
The French wonder-kid is likely to be moving to Real Madrid this summer and had one of the highest post-to-earning ratios on this list, earning over £107k from each of his eight posts in 2021.
