![]() Jenner sold 51 per cent of Kylie Cosmetics to publicly traded Coty, Inc. Reality star turned business mogul, Kylie Jenner made a ridiculous USD$590 million this year, thanks to a massive deal in January. Here are the highest paid celebrities of 2020, according to Forbes. Even sports stars Roger Federer and Cristiano Ronaldo were relegated to the top five, pailing in comparison to Jenner’s ridiculous haul. ![]() Ed Sheeran’s Divide Tour drew 8.9 million fans and grossing USD$776 million over two years, surpassing U2’s all-time record for a single tour. On the performance side of things, streaming led the way, with actors Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson making big money through Netflix. It’s no surprise both stars made their money from retail endeavours, with West earning big dollars from his Yeezy sneakers deal with adidas and Jenner cashing in on her 51 per cent stake in cosmetics firm Coty. It was Kylie Jenner who managed to rustle up the largest figure of the year and the margin between her and second-place earner (and fellow family member), Kanye West was enormous. But, as Forbes rightly points out, “even with COVID-19 lurking and America on fire in every sense of the word following the murder of George Floyd, the show still went on”. In fact, 2020 marks the first decline since 2016, the year following Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather secured nearly half a billion dollars between them. That figure may sound astronomical, but it is a $200 million drop from 2019, thanks primarily to the shuttering of stadiums, arenas and theatres across the globe. In its annual review, Forbes confirmed that the world’s highest-paid celebrities had earned a combined USD$6.1 billion before taxes and fees. The youngest of the Kardashian clan has managed to secure a monster bag this year, with the publication naming the 23-year-old as the highest-paid celebrity in 2020. The men’s list also included Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Will Smith, Adam Sandler and Jackie Chan.In case this year wasn’t tough enough already, Forbes has confirmed that this is indeed Kylie Jenner’s world, and we’re all just living in it.
