All Around the World with Katy Perry
Since 1999, FORBES has shared a celebrity 100 list, giving the non 1% a glimpse into who’s taking home the most money from the world of entertainment. To no surprise, Floyd Mayweather of The Money Team topped all celebs at $300 million, who made the majority of his wealth for the year on his spring fight against Manny Pacquiao. His opponent, the Philippines sensation was right behind him at $160 million, for his biggest payday to date to show why boxing still rules the world of sports and entertainment.
At no. 3, Katy Perry shockingly appears as the next earner at a whopping $135 million, which she’s also the magazine’s cover girl – as the sexiest top three earner. Highlighted by her Prismatic World Tour and playing 124 shows, well over half of her income came from international markets, outside of the states.
Take a look at a breakdown of the top 10 list and a look at her photo shoot for FORBES Top 100 Celebs below.
