Diddy Tops Forbes' Highest-Paid List for 2017
  • 7 years ago
Diddy is the highest paid entertainer of 2017… and that is quite the feat.

According to Forbes the rapper brought in 130 million dollars from June 2016 to June 2017… mostly from his Bad Boy family reunion tour, his stake from Ciroq vodka, and the 70 million dollar sale of one third of his Sean John clothing line.

Coming in at number 2 is Beyonce. She claimed 105 million in earnings for the same period…

While JK Rowling brought in 95 million…

And Drake and Cristiano Ronaldo rounded out the top 5… with a 94 and 93 million respectively.

Taylor Swift, a long time stay on the Forbes highest earning list, dropped all the way to number 49. She only brought in 49 million, down from the 170 million… but keep in mind that she hasn’t toured or put out an album since 2015.

All the celebs on the list made a combined income of 5.5 billion dollars, but that doesn’t account for the fees they pay agents, managers, or lawyers. So that should make you feel a little better.

Yep, now you know you’re in the wrong business.
