Before the advent of hashtags, few knew how to use Twitter. Today, it is often misused for building fame, influence, and wealth, as earning from promotional tweets requires just a few thousand followers.
Celebrities have taken full advantage of this, as they are followed by millions. Some earn millions of dollars advertising their sponsors’ products on Twitter.
With the help of the Twitter money calculator, Top Dollar calculated how much celebrities earn with each of their tweets.

Kevin Hart far ahead of everyone
From just 46 promoted tweets since he opened his Twitter profile in 2009, actor and comedian Kevin Hart has earned nearly $14 million. This figure does not reflect how much his controversial tweets have cost him, but it seems he is doing well.
Pop star Demi Lovato joined Twitter just a month before Hart, when she was only 16 years old. To date, she has earned $10.1 million from just 23 promoted tweets.
Gamers are the most active
Imane Anys, better known as Pokimane, earns the most of all gamers – just under $4 million, mainly selling toys themed around video games. Forbes included her in this year’s ’30 under 30′ list.
Pokimane has posted as many as 160 promotional tweets, but she was surpassed by Fortnite player DrLupo, who earned $2.8 million from 212 ads. Gamers have the highest average number of sponsored posts on Twitter across all categories, totaling 64. Additionally, gamers make up eight of the top 10 most active advertisers.
Footballers take the best
It has long been known that footballers supplement their generous salaries with sponsorship deals. Former Brazilian footballer Kaká does not have to worry about his retirement. With his 22 promotional tweets, he increased his wealth of $90 million by another five dollars.
