Forbes has released its annual list of Top 100 richest celebrities and the stars raked in a total of $6.1 billion in 2020. 

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.
