Dwayne Johnson recently dethroned beauty mogul Kylie Jenner, who had acquired the top position on the Instagram rich list, which claimed her to be the highest-paid star on Instagram for her posts. As per recent developments, Dwayne Johnson bagged the position after Kylie Jenner was stripped of her billionaire status by Forbes earlier this year. Reportedly, Dwayne Johnson charges more than a million for every paid post on Instagram.

According to a leading news daily, it is the first time in four years that a Kardashian or a Jenner has not dominated the list. Reportedly, Johnson charges more than ₹7.6 crores for his paid posts, as his earnings have gone up by 15%, while Kylie Jenner charges nearly ₹7.4 crores per post. Reportedly, Kylie's net-worth fell by an astounding 22%.

Kylie still world's highest-paid celebrity

However, Kylie Jenner still remains the world's highest-paid celebrity in terms of her annual pay. As per the Forbes publication, Kylie Jenner earned $590 million over the past year, most of which was due to beauty giant Coty buying a 51 percent stake of her own brand, Kylie Cosmetics, last January. This comes after the reality show star sold the share for $600 million, which led to her earning $540 million before tax. However, in 2020, the Forbes publication accused the Jenner family of inflating figures and 'forging' tax returns for the makeup mogul's cosmetics company and alleged them of faking their billionaire status.
