Actress-Influencer Bella Thorne Gets $65,000 Per Instagram Post, Says Social Media Paid For Her House

Actress and social media star Bella Thorne, who has worked with top YouTube creators including Logan Paul, Nash Grier, and Elijah Daniel, has provided a glimpse into potential influencer earnings on Instagram and Snapchat.

In a documentary about Thorne’s life posted earlier this month, Thorne said that she pockets up to $65,000 for an Instagram “grid posting,” reports Business Insider, and anywhere between $10,000 to $20,000 for sponsored Stories on both Instagram and Snapchat. Today, Thorne counts more than 17.5 million Instagram followers, and described it as a “big spot” in her career when she was able to reach 1 million likes per photo. She also counts 10 million followers on Facebook.

“I was raised to think that social media is everything,” the 20-year-old says. “Instagram is 100% a job to me. I started out at 18 with literally $200 in my bank account, and I bought this house a year later — a year and a half — and it’s all from social media. It’s from studying that sh-t — demographics and ratios and engagement and definitely the more technical side of it.”
