Forbes just crowned the star of the Internet community and cosmetic magnate, naming Kylie Jenner the highest paid celebrity of 2024. Despite the controversial history of the relationship between Kylie and the publication, financial experts Forbes calculated that this year she received $590 million after selling a majority stake in her cosmetics brand Coty Inc.
Coincidentally, 23-year-old Kylie’s brother-in-law Kanye West came in second with $170 million. The rapper and aspiring politician should thank his partnership with the Adidas brand for this achievement, which provided him with a handsome fee.
Athletes included in the list of the best, such as Roger Federer, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar and LeBron James helped round out the top 10, in addition to Tyler Perry, Howard Stern and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
According to Forbes, the world’s highest-earning stars earned $6.1 billion in 2024. This is $200 million less than last year due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the entertainment industry.
