While this number is certainly eye-watering, it is down by $200 million from 2019, due to the Coronavirus influencing the way that business is being carried out in 2020.
Well, the highest-ranking celebrity on the list is Kylie Jenner, who raked in $590 million in 2020. Of course, $540 million of this is from the sale of her Kylie Cosmetics company to Coty Inc.
The 23-year-old is also the only woman who made the top 10 on the list.
In second place is Kylie’s brother in law, Kanye West, who made $170 million in 2020. This is in the same year that Forbes announced that the 43-year-old has achieved billionaire status after a collaboration with sneaker giant, Adidas.
Joining Kylie and Kanye in the top 5 positions are sportsmen. Tennis player Roger Federer earned $106 million, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo earned $105 million, and fellow soccer player Lionel Messi earned $104 million.
