Kim Kardashian earns more money for one Instagram post than the President does in a year.

You might want to sit down for this one.

Especially if you’re currently searching for coins in your couch or about to max out your credit card… again.

You see, Kim Kardashian makes more money in a single Instagram post than the President of the United States makes in a whole year.

Yep, according to a report from medical journalism website STAT, the reality TV star earns more from one sponsored post than what Donald Trump earns for running a whole country.

The publication has viewed a contract between medical company Duchesnay USA and Kim’s company, Kimsaprincess, which proved she was paid $500,000 (AU$676,575) for a single Instagram post.

The 37-year-old uploaded the post about Duchesnay USA’s morning sickness pill, Diclegis, in 2015.

#Ad #DYK 4 million babies are born each year in the US. That means a lot of my US followers are mommies2B who could have morning sickness like I did! I want to share what helped me: Diclegis® (doxylamine succinate/pyridoxine HCl), the only FDA-approved medication for morning sickness when diet & lifestyle changes fail. My doctor assured me that it’s safe & effective for mom & baby. It’s also easy to recognize – it has the cutest pregnant lady on it! #DontSufferinSilence you’re not alone! If you have morning sickness, ask your healthcare provider if #Diclegis is right for you. The most common side effect of Diclegis is drowsiness.
