And it’s great advertising for the celebrities. It is, in fact, a way of putting out the image they want to project, whether that be wholesome, raunchy, or kookie. Then, there are those celebrity pictures. Beyonceand her daughter, Miley Cyrus in various states of undress, Selena Gomez simply sipping on a Coke, Rihanna mostly undressed, and celebrities can rack up millions and millions of followers. Aha! That’s why companies are interested in securing those all important celebrity social media endorsements, subtle or not so subtle. It’s like cozy advertising, doubly effective because fans follow celebrities they like, and presumably trust. If a Kardashian uses a certain kind of vitamin, we do too. If Selena Gomez likes Coke, so do we. Plus, there’s an outfit called Bre.ad that, according to adage.com, “can show a full-page ad to users upon entering or exiting a site”. Nevermind the endorsement money, some celebs make up to $20,000 per month with the ad scheme.
It’s not always possible to pin down exact figures, but we’ll tell you what we know. And a cool half a million for a certain endorsement or picture is not the norm, but some have achieved it. Here are 15 celebrities who have made millions and millions from their social media accounts.
15. Selena Gomez – Girl Next Door And That Coke Picture
It’s the most liked picture on Instagram. Gorgeous Selena Gomez, simply and beautifully, quietly sipping on a Coke which just happens to contain “You’re the spark” lyrics from one of her songs. Reports are that she can get up to $500 thousand from Coke for one picture like this one. See, unlike some female celebrities, Selena’s image is pretty ‘girl next door’ and clean. She appeals to the G-rated everyday products like Coke, with her iconic most liked Instagram post of gorgeous Selena just sipping the stuff through a straw. You probably won’t see the likes of Miley Cyrus or Rihanna endorsing Coke because their “brand” is in-your-face and sometimes raunchy. They sell the “bad” girl. Selena sells Coke. As does Taylor Swift and the kittens that keep appearing when she sips a Diet Coke for an ad.
