Forbes Releases List Of Top 100 Highest-Paid Entertainers For 2017

0
Forbes has released its list of the top 100 highest-paid entertainers and Sean “Diddy” Combs is top of the tree. Cristiano Ronaldo took the fifth spot.
Combs earnings of $130m (£102m) pushed him up from last year’s 22nd spot.
His success is down to his recent US tour, a marketing deal with a vodka company and selling one third of his Sean John clothing line.
Beyonce and JK Rowling took second and third spot, but women comprise just 16% of the world’s top-earning celebrities.
Newcomers include Kylie Jenner, at number 59, who is the youngest list member at the age of 19. Her earnings come from her family’s reality TV show – Keeping Up with the Kardashians – her namesake cosmetics company and clothing line, plus various endorsements.
Half of the top 10 are made up of musicians, while two athletes – Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo and basketball star LeBron James – also make the cut.
