Half a million bucks per post doesn't even make Kim the highest paid member of the Kardashian clan on Instagram, though. Not after younger sister Kylie Jenner started commanding twice that, according to a recent D'Marie Analytics report. Frank Spadafora, CEO of D'Marie, released a press statement explaining how Kylie Jenner is able to earn so much by making a simple post on Instagram:

"Kylie is an undeniable global brand, which may make some roll their eyes … But the reality is this young, female entrepreneur's savvy helped her reach a milestone in the influencer marketing and advertising industry which many seasoned professionals have failed to achieve."

But regardless of whatever the specifics of their agreements with various companies may be, it is clear that the Kardashians have mastered the art of getting big bucks for their Instagram posts.
