Katy Perry rocks the cover of Forbes magazine this month, striking a pose as the publication celebrates the world’s highest-paid celebrities of 2015 with the Celebrity 100.
Who made the list?
Surprises below..
Our list measures money earned from June 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015 before subtracting management fees and taxes; figures are based on data from Nielsen, Pollstar, Box Office Mojo and IMDB, as well as interviews with agents, managers, lawyers—and many of the stars themselves.
Most importantly, we made sure to look for candidates in all corners of the globe, and sure enough, 32 members of this year’s list hail from outside the U.S. The U.K. boasted 13 names ranging from chef Gordon Ramsay (No. 21, $60 million) to singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran (No. 27, $57 million). Other countries sent stars as varied as Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova (No. 88, $29.5 million) and Canadian rapper Drake (No. 54, $39.5 million).
Did any TGJ regulars make the list? Of course. Check them out below.
3. Katy Perry – $135 million.
8. Taylor Swift – $80 million
17. Calvin Harris – $66 million
19. Justin Timberlake- $63.5 million
21. Sean Combs – $60 million
25. Lady Gaga – $59 million
28. Jay Z – $56 million.
Where’s t*********? Lol
No #RFlop artist ???
Rihanna’s name is in the “DEBT” and “MAKING LOSS” files in her record’s company drawer.
That’s why.
😆
Riri is not even in the Top 30???
LOL
Her records sales must b really bad. Im not surprised if her company bought her singles to make her relevant.
Rihanna #234…
😆 😆 😆
Bet she made more than you did
Beyonce #29 behind Jay…. hahahahahahah…slay!!!!
Top 30 / 54.4 million…..for #Queenyonce !!!
Jlo and Britney are higher than Riri…..
hahahaahahaha
*Trännyoncé.
#29 Beyonce, b**** !!!!
Gaga sold toilet cleaners along with her #ARTPOOP…thats why.
DAYUM Ms. Perry! $135 Mill in ONE year is phenomenal! Also, where is Bey at?
And where is thiefyonce AKA rabbit ear on the list??? You guys are f****** Ass kisser.
#29…better than your fav.
JT! No albums, songs or tours. What am I doing with my life?!
Lol.
No SLUTyonce?
29 moron….
WELP DAMN KP! YOU KEEP SLAYING LIKE THAT & THOSE POOR PRESCHOOLERS AND K-5 GRADERS WON’T HAVE A COLLEGE FUND WHEN THEY GET OLDER. KII
Rihanna- minus 5 million from the unsold mediocre albums.
Is Artpoop plat yet?
The cutters crack me up on twitter bugging Chartnews for an update of ArtPoop sales, saying that it HAS to be higher now as if the album is just flying off racks. It’s a flop! Deal with it. 🙂
The album has sold over 850k in America r******.
Flop! Barley out sold Music Of The Sun and Pink Print.
LMAOOO @ this inflation. It was at 740K not even a few months ago.
@Mark
As if Rihanna were going to sell more with her upcoming album lmao Have you seen the state her new era is in?
Basic Music of the Sun would sell 100,000 copies at most in 2015 btw. Learn not to be so biased.
Hmmm, from June 2014 to June 2015, Katy was mostly on tour. Yet she’s above Mr. Krabs, I mean Taylor Swift, who released an album, multiple singles, and launched a tour in that time. I guess you’re going to have to find someone else to drag Katy with. Poor Regina George in sheep’s clothing
Taylor still shits on basic perry
Sis you can’t use Taylor when she shits on Flopga the hardest. She obliterated Flopga’s career showing her no mercy. You might as well start bandwagoning.
Blank space is going to beat roar to the first solo song by a female to 1 billion views!! Dark horse isn’t a solo song, before you say that…
Roar: 993 million views
Blank Trash: 989 million views
Taylor will always be playing catch up. And regardless, Katy did it before her and is still the first female to do so
No Katy hasn’t done it with a solo single, and I know taylor is 4 million behind, but in 3 days, she’ll be on par. Taylor has been catching up with every day that has passed, and the video is far newer than roars!
How did Jt make so much ? I know he got a lot from publishing of beyonce album but where else his money coming from? Other ventures ?
Homeboy is making coins!!! I think he has some drink venture and maybe additional dates from his tour?
#234- Rihanna.
🙁
lol
Why are you concerned with Rihanna’s money when Artflop isn’t platinum yet after all that promo, an app, and a tour? You need to get off TGJ and head over to iTunes pronto!
What place are you?
Jayz prostitute Rihanna didn’t make the list? ki
Beyonce…#29….hail
😀
Jlo #95
Yas at Gaga slaying Rihanna and Beyonce their fans talk so much crap yet Gaga is slaying them.
slaying because gaga sold few toilet freshner with albums….
Didn’t Flopga have two tours and an album release during that time plus leftover sales from Artflop? And you’re proud of her? Set your standards low so you won’t be disappointed I guess
Beyonce #29….54.5 millon. Where is your fave???
Riri is not listed in the Top 100. Oh well…try again next year.
Not at TGJ trolling us, where is trannyyonce on the list? Why is her name in the headline if she isn’t on the list? But the real question is where is nicki garbage? After almost a year, 2 years of promo, and featuring the biggest prostitute in the industry, the pink trash is still not platinum and still hasn’t scanned 1m WW. What kind of struggle?
Beyonce at #29….deal with it.
Use Google moron.
Gaga making more than Trannyyonce? And she wasn’t even on tour while the t***** was on 2 tours, The Recycled World Tour and the On The Run From Solange Tour
Gaga is a perfume seller…thats why. 🙁
This!!!! 😆
But the t***** also sells perfumes, and she has more than one perfume. So ur point is null and void
Lady Copycat under Katy. Hmnnnnn…sleep well Moronsters.
Bey is still under Gaga i’m screaming
Gaga sold more perfumes….that’s why.
Jlo and Britney are on this list but not Rihanna…
Why???
Katy has more than jay and bey combined! Slayage!
#234- Rihanna.
lol
Doesn’t Beyonce sell perfume too? Nice to know people rather smell like Gaga than a desperate prostitute known as Beyonce.
Just look at the H.IV+ phaggs coming up with 8742521 excuses as to why trannyyonce made less than GaGa when gaga wasn’t even on tour and had no new music while the t***** was on 2 tours and was on two tracks with nicki plastic. Kiiii
The excuses are real the hive loves coming for everyone else meanwhile she’s struggling behind her husband. Beyonce is nothing but hype.
Good to see Katy sh*ts on Lady Gagarbage….. 😀
Tidal flops struggling on this list Hahahaha where is Onika Flopnaj????
It would really be interesting to find out what these celebrities really make.
Right? There’s so many cuts in these numbers. But that’s how every business is ran. Apple makes billions a year, we don’t know how much of that is payed out.
Where is Lana Fad Rey on the list tho? I thought her one stan said she was the queen of interscope. So where is she on the list?
Who? Oh the girl who gets the industrys scraps. That b**** is lordes lesser for life.
Why work when your HUSBAN is a billionair? He makes billions with a B a year son. You do know at 49 you can chill out and enjoy. Well you won’t, you’ll still be asking if they want fries with that.
Katy Perry making more money than Lady Gag cause Lady Gag is so 5 years ago.
🙁
Where is Tranet on the list?

Lady Gagarbage lost to Katy. That’s too funny huh?
Nick jr basic sellout b****** like katy get no respect from me.
says..a queen of nobody
LittleSuicides don’t even respect themselves, we don’t expect much from you. Weren’t yall offering bl0wjobs to strangers who showed proof that they purchased Applause? And it still got outsold by singles released by Ariana Grande’s The Way, Selena Gomez’s Come Get It, and Demi Lovato’s Heart Attack. Tragic.
Lady Copycat is under Katy ??? 😆
YASSS at @Rima reading y’all 😀
Lol gorl Rima has been read for filth up and down this thread. Her poor hairline has been dragged to the back of her neck.
Hehehehehe…finally something the monsters can celebrate about.. but damn at Ketty slaying like this, i never thought she will be this huge when she debuted,,where did that 55m of beyonce come from? the 19 dates OTR tour? i mean the girl makes this much with no music out,no big dates tours,,by just going out on holidays and doing nothing…..well congrats to everybody on the list,its not my money so whatever,,but where is my badgirl Riri at?
Yess GO QueenBey. No tours or album or any major deals yet she made more than 50million. Rihanna and her 1253222 singles could not make the list, Poor dat. I Guess that was why she had to take that 1million puma deal. Lool
The irony of Rihanna throwing dollar bill at the BET Awards when she is lacking it. Lamo. I guess those drugs and forehead compressors don’t come free. No wonder she had to take that insulting Puma 1million deal. B**** is broke.
You go bey well deserve May God continue to bless protect you with more success
Rihanna is BROKE
Justin Timberlake is king.
Beyoncé can sit on her ass for a year and still manage to make Forbes top 30.
Slay a bit queen.
Lool no Rihanna with her masters? Can the Navy explain.
Are you people really fighting over other people´s earnings???? lmao
Most of that probably has nothing to do with music or talent to begin with.
Focus on music guys. No wonder why music industry went downhill years ago. They have really brainwashed you.
At least I know @s****** blonde cares about music, not the money made in whatever business adventures. One of the few in this blog (evn though he hates Gaga for no reason, big flaw 🙂 ).
Go away haters we just love to see people do well because we are good people good people like to others succeed
Katy Perry had the lead due to her Super Bowl performance so a chunk was earns from that and she had a few number ones. Beyonce has done well considering she only had one single released since her 2013 album. But she is taking it lightly, already she is headlining Made In America festival. in addition producers are stating her new album a joint venture with Jay will drop before the fall.
Artists don’t get paid for super bowl performances though.
How much did ACNEoncr make from her Superbowl flop performance? ? Wax it more than Katy?
I guess Puma, Dior or Home, magazine covers wasn’t enough to make the cut lmaoooooooooooooooo #PoorDat
Why not tina in?
Where are those other artist at
