American business magazine, Forbes has released its annual Top 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities List, with the stars collectively raking in a reported $6.1 billion before taxes.
This figure is apparently down by $200 million from last year as the coronavirus pandemic affected the celebrities’ bottom line.
The magazine published the list on Monday and Kylie Jenner together with her brother-in-law, Kanye West, topped the list, with $590 million and $170 million respectively.
Jenner, the 23-year-old entrepreneur made US$590 million due to the 51 percent sale of her Kylie Cosmetics company to Coty Inc. It is worth noting that Jenner is the only woman to make the Top 10.
This comes three months after she feuded with Forbes for revoking her billionaire status. After the outlet accused Jenner of lying about the success of her makeup brand through forged tax returns, she fired back.
