46 Million Dollar Baby Kayla Itsines Named Forbes’ Most Influential Rig

Kayla Itsines is kind of a big deal.

A post shared by Kayla Itsines (@kayla_itsines) on

She’s one of the OG pioneers of those “bikini body” fitness programs. She’s been given a glowing profile on the New York Times. She’s got 6.7M followers. Her app, Sweat with Kayla, earned a casual $17 million last year. She’s worth $46 million. I could go on, but for brevities sake (and for the sake of not wanting to make you feel bad about still scrounging off ya mum and dad), I won’t.
Her meteoric rise has gained even more velocity today, as she’s been named the #1 Fitness Influencer in the world by Forbes.
that’s news worth crunching about
It’s pretty freaking incredible for an Adelaide native whose empire was built around a platform (Instagram) that didn’t even exist ten years ago. 

“Today, she packs football stadiums; in 2016, her multi-city U.S. Sweat Tour sold out in about an hour,” the Forbes feature reads. “Superfans lined up to take selfies. Some wept.”
And that, folks, is the stuff of lunging legend.
