Here are your Top 10 Highest Paid Entertainers (from June 2016 to June 2017)
- Diddy, $130 million - Is he really just going by Diddy now?? We should charge an extra tax on that money for that!
- Beyonce, $105M - She makes more than her hubby Jay Z, which means she has 99 problems but that ain't one!
- J.K. Rowling, $95M - This number is deceiving because it's really in Galleons. (That's the wizard form of currency if you didn't get that joke. I won't be explaining moving forward.)
- Drake, $94M - He started from the bottom now he's 4th.
- Cristiano Ronaldo, $93M - This is for playing soccer, right??
- The Weeknd, $92M - He can take the rest of the week off with that kind of money!
- Howard Stern, $90M - There is money in radio!!
- Coldplay, $88M - This is for the whole group so really they are not that rich.
- James Patterson, $87M - I wonder if he will write a book about how to make $87 Million Dollars in a year.
- LeBron James, $86M - He made this money and won and lost an NBA championship during this time. I lived in a trailer at the Erie County Fair for 2 weeks.
So there it is, the rich get richer. Oprah didn't crack the top 10 so you know this list is legit. Who knows, maybe in a few more years you will be on this list. I'm just kidding, but hey you never know!
