Jenner last year became the first member of her family "to grow her ad equivalent value to over $1,000,000 per post across her social media portfolio," according to a report from D'Marie Analytics, a social media insights firm. In other words, People reported, every #sponsored or #ad Instagram post, Snapchat story or tweet Jenner posts is worth $1 million based on her hefty social following an engagement.
So she can afford to buy all the eggs she wants.
