Swift to the top
Taylor Swift has topped the 2019 Forbes list of the World’s Highest-Paid Celebrities, beating Kylie Jenner to it. With jaw-dropping earnings of $185 million, Taylor has managed to beat the make-up maven Kylie Jenner, who nicked second place with $170 million.
As reported in www.toofab.com, Kylie’s brother-in-law Kanye West followed them at third, with $150 million, but his wife Kim — the only Kardashian on the list — managed to scrape together a mere $72 million, ranking her 26th on the list. Harry Potter author JK Rowling ($92m) and Beyoncé ($81m) powered in at the 13th and 20th spots, respectively.
According to the website, in total, only 15 of the top 100 were female, which included Ellen DeGeneres, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pink, Scarlett Johansson, Judge Judy Sheindlin, Jennifer Lopez, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga and Celine Dion, all nabbing various spots in the list. Not too many, we agree, but it’s still women on the top!
