14. Kim Kardashian – Not Subtle, But Rich
Kim Kardashian West is a social media storm all of her own making with nearly 30 million Instagram followers. Some say she makes around $30 million per year from her activities, such as TV, endorsements, and having her name attached to products. In fact, to get her to attach her name to a product could cost you up to $1 million. When she married Kris Humphries (for like ten minutes), she dropped names on social media and got free things for her wedding. Some say she made tens of millions of dollars on the wedding, the result of doing things like selling presents and endorsing products on her social media pages. But she and the pharmaceutical company responsible for the morning sickness medication she endorsed got into a bit of hot water when the Feds slapped their wrists for not warning people of the side effects associated with the medicine.
