The power of social media has been highlighted by a new report which claims each of Cristiano Ronaldo's Instagram posts earns him £310,000.

A study by Instagram schedulers Hopper puts the Real Madrid's influence third in their top-10 earners list, behind only singer Selena Gomez and Kim Kardashian.

Ronaldo, who boasts a following of 106million on the social network, is a prolific contributor - regularly adding multiple images each day of his excursions around the world.
