Steph Curry and LeBron James are the two most popular players in the NBA. As such, one would expect both of them to earn huge dollar amounts for sponsored Instagram posts.

According to a study done by OnlineGambling.ca, LeBron James earns $657,000 per Instagram post, and Steph Curry earns $228,296 per post; LeBron has 131.4 million followers and Curry has 45.6 million followers.

Here are the top 10 players according to their list. Take into perspective that these follower numbers are now outdated since they created their list, and everyone's followers are actually higher now. Meaning, they probably earn even more per post now.

"1) LeBron James, 131.4 million follwers, $657,000 per post
2) Steph Curry, 45.6 million followers, $228,296 per post
3) Russell Westbrook, 20.3 million followers, $101,915 per post
4) Kyrie Irving, 17.1 million followers, $85,899 per post
5) Lonzo Ball, 14.5 million followers, $72,899 per post
6) Giannis Antetokounmpo, 13.2 million followers, $66,319 per post
7) Klay Thompson, 13.2 million followers, $66,118 per post
8) Kevin Durant, 13 million followers, $65,477 per post
9) James Harden, 11.6 million followers, $58,055 per post
10) Chris Paul, 11.4 million followers, $57,468 per post"

While these numbers may not be 100% accurate, it's most likely very indicative of who makes the most money per sponsored Instagram post. The one thing that is a little suspect is how low Kevin Durant is on their list, given how much higher his engagement is than the people above him. Regardless, this is Steph Curry and LeBron James' league still, when it comes to star power.
