Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the biggest superstars on the planet.

Alongside his eternal rival Lionel Messi, the Juventus and Portugal forward has been the defining face of football for close to two decades.

As such, Ronaldo has become his own brand across the world, making an absolute fortune in the process.

You'll struggle to find anyone who is unaware of 'CR7', with the 34-year-old gaining a huge following across his social media platforms as a result.

On Instagram, Ronaldo has a mammoth 186m followers, making him the most popular account.

As a result of his popularity, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United man adds a serious amount to his vast wealth from Instagram.

According to data from Buzz Bingo, Ronaldo has made nearly £20m more than anyone else on the platform in the last 12 months.

Below, you will find Instagram's top 10 earners during the last year.

Absolutely insane numbers from Ronaldo.

The Portuguese makes around £780,000-per-post and as you can see, he's been pretty prolific in the last 12 months.

Celebrity Kylie Jenner actually makes around £1.01m-per-post, but she simply hasn't delivered the volume of posts that Ronaldo has.

Ronaldo's name adorns a chain of hotels, an underpants range and a collection of aftershaves, with more ventures surely just on the horizon.

His playing days may be creeping towards their conclusion, but Ronaldo is still going to be raking in the cash for decades to come.
