福布斯全球百大名人收入榜:吹牛老爹力压碧昂斯问鼎榜首
《福布斯》杂志公布了全球百大名人收入排行榜,美国饶舌音乐人吹牛老爹凭借1.3亿美元的年收入问鼎榜首。碧昂斯和J.K.罗琳分别位于第二和第三名。榜单前10名中半数为音乐人,C罗击败勒布朗•詹姆斯,成为今年榜单中是排名最高的体育明星。 It's that time of year again - Forbes has released its list of the top 100 highest-paid entertainers and Sean "Diddy" Combs is top of the tree. His earnings of $130 million pushed him up from last year's 22nd spot. His success is down to his recent US tour, a marketing deal with a vodka company and selling one third of his Sean John clothing line. Beyonce and JK Rowling took second and third spot, but women comprise just 16% of the world's top-earning celebrities. Newcomers include Kylie Jenner, at number 59, who is the youngest list member at the age of 19. Her earnings come from her family's reality TV show - Keeping Up with the Kardashians - her namesake cosmetics company and clothing line, plus various endorsements. Half of the top 10 are made up of musicians, while two athletes - Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and basketball star LeBron James - also make the cut. 下面请看2017年福布斯评选出的十大名人富豪: 1. Sean "Diddy" Combs - $130m Grammy award-winning rapper Combs used to be best known for best-selling albums such as No Way Out and Forever. But the entrepreneur's business interests have catapulted him into the big time, and he's jumped from number 22 in last year's list to nab this year's top spot. 2. Beyonce Knowles - $105m
3. JK Rowling - $95m JK Rowling returns to the top 100, no doubt boosted by the publication of the two-part play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and the film release of Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. 4. Drake - $94m
5. Cristiano Ronaldo - $93m
6. The Weeknd - $92m Another Canadian star, The Weeknd, has cracked the top 10 for the first time, having made it to number 30 last time round. His latest album, Starboy, had the third-largest debut sales week in the US of 2016. He recently collaborated with Lana Del Ray on duet, Lust for Life. 7. Howard Stern - $90m US "shock jock" and self-styled "king of all media" Howard Stern holds on to the seventh spot he occupied last year. The former America's Got Talent judge is currently part way through a five-year deal with Sirius XM Radio. 8. Coldplay - $88m Coldplay return to the list following the success of their worldwide A Head Full of Dreams tour, which finished in Australia and New Zealand in December. That's good news for the charity sector, as the band donate 10% of their profits to good causes. 9. James Patterson - $87m Yes, it's another author on the list - Patterson has published more than 130 titles in his name and is believed to be the world's best-selling living author. Former US president Bill Clinton is currently writing a novel about the White House in collaboration with him. 10. LeBron James - $86m Probably the US's best-known basketball star, the Cleveland Cavaliers player's $31m salary in 2016-17 made him only the third NBA player to earn $30m in a season after Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. His endorsement list ain't bad either, including brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola and Beats by Dre. |
