She is only 23 years old, but already the richest celebrity in the world: Kylie Jenner. According to Forbes, the youngest sister of the famous reality TV family earned the most of all the stars in 2020: an impressive 590 million US dollars (around 485 million euros).
Kylie has more than tripled her income from the previous year, because in 2019 she landed with “only” 170 million dollars behind singer Taylor Swift in second place. The profit comes mainly from her lucrative deal with the beauty company “Coty”, to which the influencer sold 51 percent of her company “Kylie Cosmetics” in January.
Only woman in the top ten
Second place in the family also remains, as none other than Kylie’s brother-in-law Kanye West. Kim Kardashian’s husband is said to have earned US $ 170 million (around 140 million euros) last year, according to Forbes. Most of it not with his music, but with his sneaker line “Yeezy”, which he designed for Adidas.
The following three places are occupied by professional athletes: tennis star Roger Federer ($ 106.3 million), footballer Cristiano Ronaldo ($ 105 million) and his colleague Lionel Messi ($ 104 million). In the video above, we show you the complete top ten top earners.
Kylie Jenner remains the only woman in the top ten. Only in twelfth place comes TV host Ellen DeGeneres, who is estimated to have earned 84 million US dollars.
Heidi Klum ended up in 82nd place with 39.5 million dollars, making her the highest-earning German in the list. With her, as a compatriot, only racing driver Sebastian Vettel (36.3 million dollars, 97th place) made it into the top 100.
