    Here’s how much money they earn for one Instagram post…

    In this day and age, having an Instagram account can actually fund your entire life - and a luxurious one at that.

    This doesn't apply to all of us of course, but for those who have made it to Instagram celebrity status, raking in hundreds of thousands of likes per snap and therefore getting sponsorship deals from all directions, it is possible to earn bigger bucks than Hollywood A-listers.

    Jealous, us? Maybe a little.

    While we all count down the hours to leave our 9 till 5s to unwind on our blogs or have a scour through Instagram feed, some people out there are doing it as a career - and getting paid more for one Instagram upload than we make in a month.
