Brian DiFeo — $18,000

Before Brian DiFeo discovered the power of social media and Instagram, he was a hard-working photographer scraping up jobs. The symbiotic combo of a good photo and the power of the internet made him a natural Instagram content creator.

Just a few years later, he has amassed a net worth of over 3 million dollars, he negotiates full price for his postings, and he has started an independent media company. He continues to tear up cyber space with rockin’ content and innovative images.
