ICYMI: The World’s Highest Paid Entertainer Might Surprise You
Forbes magazine recently named the world’s highest-paid entertainer, and the person who took home the crown might surprise you.
Diddy beat out the likes of Beyonce, The Weeknd, and Taylor Swift to snag the honor. He brought home $130M as part of his Bad Boy Family Reunion tour, his partnership with Ciroc, and his Sean John clothing line. Beyonce was a close second though, earning $105M.
Taylor Swift, who reigned supreme last year, dropped to the 49th spot this time around. This is probably because she didn’t release an album this year, nor was she on tour.
Kylie Jenner made her way onto the list for the first time due to the impressive $41M she made. Not bad for a teenager. Her sister Kim also earned a spot. You can check out the full list here.
