Lionel Messi, Floyd Mayweather, Christiano Ronaldo, Kylie Jenner and other entertainers have made the newly-released Forbes list of World’s Highest-Paid Entertainers for 2018.
Acclaimed boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather tops the ranking with $285 million in pre-tax earnings, almost entirely on the strength of his August 2017 fight versus Conor McGregor.
George Clooney finishes second with $239 million, while Kylie Jenner pulled in $166.5 million to claim the No. 3 spot, courtesy of her beauty business.
Judge Judy Sheindlin’s $147 million put her at No. 4 – assisted by the sale of her TV library for $100 million, while Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rounds out the top five with $124 million thanks to blockbusters like the newly-released Skyscraper.
Others on the list are U2, Coldplay, Lionel Messi, Ed Sheeran, Cristiano Ronaldo and others.
According to Forbes, the Celebrity 100 list ranks front-of-camera stars around the globe using their pre-tax earnings from June 1, 2017 through June 1, 2018.
