2020 has been a tough year for many, but it hasn’t stopped the big-time celebs from making money. Forbes Magazine has released a list of the highest paid celebrities from June 2019 to May 2020 and Kylie Jenner has earned the most, by a lot.
The top 2 earners are from the Kardashian Klan- Kylie Jenner takes number 1 spot with $590 million mostly thanks to her Kylie Cosmetics range, and her brother-in-law Kanye West follows with $170 million, mostly due to his Yeezy clothing and trainer deal with Adidas.
Sportsmen Roger Federer, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi follow next. Tennis star Naomi Osaka made history this year at number 90, earning the most any female athlete has ever made in a single year ($37 million). Pretty impressive for a 23 year old!
