Forbes recently released its annual "World's Highest-Paid Celebrities" list, which essentially tells us famous people make unimaginable amounts of money—even Sofia Vergara, who, at 95th place, still earned $28.5 million in 2015. (Here's how.)
But aside from Vin Diesel and Judge Judy's tie (at $47 million), the biggest upset has to be how accidental phone-number giver Katy Perry beat out Beyoncé and Taylor Swift combined. As in together! The math: Tay Tay brought in $80 million after she decamped from Spotify for Apple Music, while Tidal loyalist Bey made $54.5 million. That comes out to $134.5 million, $500,000 short of Katy's yield.
There's a whole article on all the shows she's played and albums she's sold, but honestly, I think Left Shark deserves a bit more credit.
