You might want to sit down for this one.

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.

For the record, (as much as I despise him) Trump donates his salary (Turnbull does not accept his either).
