It pays to be famous. Forbes has just dropped their list of the top 10 highest-paid entertainers in the world in 2022.Music icon Taylor Swift is the only woman on the list and she joins fellow musicians Bad Bunny, Sting, The Rolling Stones and Genesis.The group of high-earners also includes a number of filmmakers and TV creators, like the dynamic duos behind “The Simpsons” and “South Park.”The top earners in 2022 collected about $1.35 billion — just half as much as last year’s list which boasted entertainers such as Kanye “Ye” West, Jay-Z, and Bruce Springsteen.

The Puerto Rican rapper sold over $400 million worth of tickets from his two tours, “El Último Tour Del Mundo,” and “The World’s Hottest Tour.” The “Bullet Train” actor also secured endorsement deals with brands such as Corona, Cheetos and Adidas.Despite the country-pop superstar’s successful “Midnights” album, which made her the first artist in history to snag the top ten spots of the Billboard Hot 100 song list, most of her $92 million comes from her back catalog of songs released in past years.

Swift has been on the highest-earners list six times in the past, topped the list in 2019 and remains the only woman on the list.The director received at least $95 million from his film “Avatar: The Way of Water.”Cameron is one of the highest-grossing directors of all time, having been at the helm of 1997’s “Titanic” and 2009’s “Avatar.” Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones made over $8.5 million per night on their European tour last year.

Their “Sixty” tour traveled to 15 cities around the continent. In 2022, the Oscar winner starred in flicks such as “Bullet Train,” “Babylon,” and “The Lost City.”He also made about $113 million after cashing in on fees.
