“I’m recognized wherever I am,” says the 5-foot-6, 112-pound Selter, who, since joining Instagram in March 2012, has amassed more 1.3 million followers, including Rihanna, football player Terrell Owens and basketball star Amar’e Stoudemire. “I don’t really go to public gyms anymore just because it is a whole big scene when I’m there,” says Selter. “I don’t like being watched.”
But she doesn’t mind being “liked.”
A seductive post of hers on the photosharing site — most of which are selfies of Selter in skintight gym wear — can easily rack up more than 70,000 likes.
“I don’t really post a lot of face pictures,” admits Selter, whose handle is @jenselter.
“I mainly do body selfies. Not that I care what people think, but they don’t care. They don’t want to see my face,” she says.
Selter, who skipped college for Internet stardom, won’t disclose how much she’s made on her fanny fame thus far. But deals with NYC water company NY20 and nutrition supplement company Game Plan Nutrition, for which she is a spokeswoman, have helped her rake in “a lot more money than a graduate would be making,” according to Selter.
