Thankfully, Obama renewed the Bush tax cuts (for the wealthy), so these folks are in no danger of going broke.
how did britney spears make more than taylor swift i dont really stay on top of music news and all but did she release a new album or something?
also do these not count endorsements? I would think LeBron would have made well over 45 million including endorsements this year.
Judge Judy FTW! And I agree with above poster. How is Britney Spears on there? No bud, you're not out of the loop, I think people are just dumb enough to want to buy her "music" still.
Leonardo DiCaprio needs a new agent. I read a few days ago that his movies grossed a total of $1 billion this year and yet he's still not in the top 20 celebrity earners.
How does Tyler Perry make so much? I remember hearing about how his sitcom on TBS was a total bomb ratings wise and his movies don't get big numbers.
And would they have to pay her much? I hear she did great in the role but she hardly seems like an a-list celebrity to me. Does she command a large salary? I hope not.
Michael Bay should donate all his money to me since he has to know most of his movies are pieces of crap.
He's the producer, director and star of all his stuff. And might the only one right now consistently making "family-friendly" stuff for his demographic. Stay home one day during the week and just watch local UHF channels, this market exists.
