Just five years ago, you probably hadn’t even heard of the term ‘influencer’. Fast forward to 2018 and our Instagram feeds are constantly infiltrated with photos of this new breed posing in exotic locations alongside captions about how #blessed they are. In fact, it’s now so common to aspire to become an influencer that there’s even a degree to help you get there (yes, you read that right). From prestige parties to luxury getaways, the high-profitable lives of social media influencers look enviable to say the very least and these Aussies are capitalising on their efforts in more ways than one. Just scroll through their feeds and you’ll get what we mean.
So, without further ado, we’ve rounded up the 20 most-followed Australian Instagram influencers you need to be following, pronto.
