Viewed by all around the world, the NBA is packed with some of the sport’s most recognizable and iconic athletes. While their contracts may be eye-watering, how do their social media profiles match up?

Exploring each player’s Instagram activity, a new report by Bookies.com has managed to uncover the top 20 performers. Attributing a score to each of their number of followers, engagement rate, and the media valuation of the worth of each post, Bookies.com reveals basketball’s biggest social earners.

A new report has revealed which of our favorite NBA stars are balling most off the court. Taking the crown is the king of the court, Lebron James, who could be charging upwards of $342,790 per Instagram post. Steph Curry, Russell Westbrook, and Kyrie Irving sit high up on the list, all making over $50,000 per post. I wish I had that kind of clout.

Here is the top 20 NBA Instagram rich list:
