Forbes has released its 20th annual Celebrity 100 package of the highest-paid front-of-camera stars right now.

These stars are raking in insane amounts of dollars pulling in a combined $6.3 billion pretax over the past year, up 22% from last year.

With June 2017-June 2018 in view, Floyd Mayweather, American boxer, was named the world’s highest-paid entertainer earning $285 million in that period.

George Clooney takes the No. 2 spot with the bagging $239 million in a year.

Kylie Jenner, 20-year-old reality star, came in third with $166.5 million largely thanks to her booming cosmetics line that Forbes said put her on track to become the youngest self-made billionaire in the US.

Judge Judy pulled in $147 million putting her at No. 4 while Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rounds out the top five with $124 million.

Ed Sheeran has been named as the highest-earning solo artist, at No. 9 with an estimated $110 million in earnings.
