    Right, let’s see who is making obscene amounts of money this year.

    We’ve seen Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people and the world’s most valuable brands, and now we are turning our attention to which entertainers have brought home the bacon.

    Here’s a staggering stat – the world’s 100 highest-paid superstars smashed a combined $6,3 billion in pretax earnings over the past 12 months.

    Now you have two options here. You either let DJ Khaled run through the top five:

    Don’t worry, it was a no from me, too.

    Or, you see the full top 10 below:

    Three footballers, four musicians, one boxer, one TV doctor, and one Kylie Jenner (self-made or otherwise).

    Here’s how much each person banked:

    • Taylor Swift – $185 million
    • Kylie Jenner $170 million
    • Kanye West – $150 million
    • Lionel Messi – $127 million
    • Ed Sheeran $110 million
    • Cristiano Ronaldo – $109 million
    • Neymar – $105 million
    • The Eagles – $100 million
    • Dr. Phil McGraw – $95 million
    • Canelo Alvarez – $94 million

    Shout-out to the Eagles, still going strong after all of these years.

    Before we go, let’s dig a little deeper into Taylor’s $185 million via MTV:

    …her salary grew 131% since 2018, due in large part to the massive world tour she went on last year in support of her Reputation album. The tour turned out not only to be Swift’s most successful tour to date, but the highest-grossing tour in U.S. history — earning $266 million and surpassing her previous record held by the 1989 World Tour.

    While most of Swift’s income came from her 53-city trek, she also released a live concert special on Netflix — and yes, she did earn a pretty penny from that as well. According to Forbes, “The streaming giant’s payout and endorsement deals with Apple, AT&T and Diet Coke added millions to Swift’s coffers.”

    But in addition to the tour, the Netflix special, and the endorsements, Swift also signed the biggest deal of her whole career in late 2018. In November, the pop star announced her split from Big Machine Records — the label she was signed to for her entire career — and confirmed that she’d signed with Universal Music Group’s Republic Records instead. The deal, according to Forbes sources, “could be worth up to $200 million,” and included a stipulation that requires the label to share the proceeds of its $1 billion stake in Spotify with its musicians.

    All of that should soften the blow of her very public falling out with Scooter Braun.

    Celebrities – they’re just like us! With a lot more money…
