Kim
Kardashian, Taylor Swift, LeBron James, Jackie Chan and Melissa McCarthy–what
do they all have in common? They’re members of this year’s edition of the
FORBES Celebrity 100, the definitive accounting of the top-earning entertainers
on the planet.
These stars
pulled in a collective $5.1 billion pretax during our June-to-June scoring
period. Regrettably, that’s more than the GDP of Belize, Gambia and Bhutan
combined. Yet the list is surprisingly international in scope, ranging from
Hollywood’s usual suspects like top-earning actor Dwayne Johnson (No. 19, $64.5
million) and cover star Kim Kardashian (No. 43, $51 million) to Brazilian
supermodel Gisele Bundchen (No. 99, $30.5 million) and Korean pop sensation
Bigbang (No. 54, $44 million).
Here at
FORBES we recognize that, although many readers will enjoy exploring the list
through our gorgeous interactive lander or browsing through a gallery of the
top 100, some folks would prefer the cold, hard numbers. So, without further
ado, here they are:
