We took each contestant’s follower count directly from Instagram, and worked out the estimated earnings per post for each contestant.
To work out the estimated earnings per post of each contestant, we took celebrities from this list and divided the cost per post by the followers to give a 'cost per follower’. We then multiplied the cost per follower by the number of followers each contestant has.
