Damn pink! Wtf she did last year? I ain’t mad at that
My exact thoughts. 😂 Pink just flew in under everybody’s radar. And Howard Stern, I thought that man was dead.
Lol
That’s what happens when u have talent and have accumulated years of credibility and goodwill.
Pink has been phoning it in for years now.
Releading the same songs over and over but she has accumulated good will from the public that’s why she’s still successful
Pink is huge in Europe, especially Australia.
Those aerial stunts make a ton of money for her.
Ahhh lolz
Nonstop tours!!
Exactly
She walked through the day & night
Sorry, can’t take Forbs serious anymore. Not after the whole Kylie Jenner situation.
I had no idea Ariana was banking like that. Also how did Billy make all that money? Was it from touring?
Exactly. That new kid is in the block
Damn, Tyler Perry made 97 million from those shìtty poorly produced films and tv shows.
WHAT?
Now that’s crazy
Lol I don’t think anyone can take Forbes seriously anymore 🤷🏽♀️ Rihanna does not disclose her earnings if she did she definitely would be highest…
Yess
$72m. in 5 months? 👏 Ari …
It’s from June to June don’t be stupid
Shawn out here making big bank lol 🏦

No Beyonce wow even Pink higher than overrated bey 😂😂😂 don’t live up to the hype where it counts 😂😂😂
I am glad Beyoncé ain’t on there.
Y’all seriously believe Forbes? These celebrities submit falsified documents in order to look “richer” than they actually are! Did we learn nothing from Kylies recent “BILLIONAIRE” fiasco? Lol the desperation!!!
But it would matter if Beyoncé was the richest?????
I was sure beys adidas line would’ve land her here
Queen JLO at the top 5
Quuen jho
lmaooooo but what about ivy park???LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Where are jlo’s hater??? the ones that call her flop ..hahah omg she stay winning
THE QUEEN JLO IS STILL WINNING . SHE IS PERFECTION
