Research Finds Lil Miquela to be the Top Earning Influencer Robot Earning Nearly \u00a3 9 Million Per Year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00b7 Cartoony noonoouri is the second biggest virtual influencer \u2013 she could earn \u00a31.3million by the end of the year<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Miquela\u2019s virtual rival Bermuda claims fourth place \u2013 she could earn \u00a3440,182.48 in 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Robot influencers earn up to 252 times more than the average UK salary!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of Instagram influencers has increased dramatically over the past few months, with interest rising by 137% since March.<\/p>\n

But what if you discovered some influencers were earning 200 times more than you, and they\u2019re not even real people? The rise of virtual influencers on Instagram has led OnBuy<\/a>, with the help of Influencer Marketing Hub\u2019s Sponsored Post Calculator<\/a>, to investigate who is making the biggest waves and just how much they are earning. Let’s take a look at the results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
The highest earning robot influencers on Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Claiming first place is the famous Lil Miquela (a.k.a. Miquela)<\/strong>. 2.5million followers and a new music video proves her social influence, and she\u2019s predicted to earn a staggering \u00a38,960,649.43 before year is out. That\u2019s 252 times more than the UK\u2019s average annual salary**!<\/p>\n

The second biggest robot influencer on the scene is noonoouri<\/strong>. Her image is more cartoony than Miquela, but her reach is no less realistic! Lobbying for issues such as the environment, equality and animal cruelty, she could earn a staggering \u00a32,273,555.65 this year.<\/p>\n

Japanese virtual girl imma jumps into third place<\/strong>. Providing a glimpse into Japanese art, culture and film, her kawaii posts reach 237,000 users and earn her \u00a3498,303.44 a year.<\/p>\n

Miquela\u2019s fictional rival on the Instagram scene is Bermuda, who claims fourth<\/strong>. It appears the marketing stunt that created this rivalry was a success, as she\u2019s predicted to earn \u00a3440,182.48 this year alone!<\/p>\n

Fifth, sixth and seventh place go to Bermuda\u2019s on-off boyfriend Blawko<\/strong> who will rack up \u00a3159,326.38, Shudu who\u2019s predicted to achieve \u00a396,108.14 before 2021, and Ami Yamato who\u2019ll earn \u00a353,400.86.<\/p>\n

To make the top ten, other entries include:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 RIA (@ria_ria_tokyo) – \u00a334,895.75 yearly earnings<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Plustic boy (@plusticboy) – \u00a334,405.85 yearly earnings<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Lil Wavi (@lil_wavi) – \u00a331,125.46 yearly earnings<\/p>\n

Not all virtual influencers make waves as big as the top ten. In 20th place is Mab\u00f4, whose character is well-designed and interesting, but the small number of followers and posts means she will only earn \u00a317.36.<\/p>\n

She is followed by Africa\u2019s first virtual influencer Aba Wils in 19th place, who is still yet to find fame \u2013 she will earn just \u00a3223.71. Robot influencers are still a relatively new concept, however, so it may be interesting to see how those further down the table will fare in a couple of years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
