You get how these lists work by now right?

We’re not going to muck about and jazz it up, here is the list of the top 100 celebs who made serious bank in the past 12 months. Those first two though, the mind boggles at just how much they raked in for that one evening in Las Vegas.

Let’s roll then, bring out the big guns Forbes. We’ll deal with the top 10 for now:

1. Floyd Mayweather – $300 million

2. Manny Pacquiao – $160 million

3. Katy Perry – $135 million

4. One Direction – $130 million

5. Howard Stern – $95 million

6. Garth Brooks – $90 million

7. James Patterson – $89 million [For the less informed he is an author]

8. Robert Downey Jr. – $80 million

9. Taylor Swift – $80 million

10. Cristiano Ronaldo – $79.5 million

Some pretty big numbers flying around there, no one is going home hungry. I’m relatively surprised that three sportsmen make it into the top ten, but with the massive TV deals we are seeing associated with sports these days this could be the norm for years going forward.
