Another Forbes list. This time women in entertainment. Oprah Winfrey tops the list at $290 million for the time between May 2010 and May 2011. Second on the list is Lady Gaga with $90 million.
The rest of the list:
Reality star Bethenny Frankel — $55 million
Model Gisele Bundchen — $45 million
Singer Taylor Swift — $45 million
Talk Show Host Ellen DeGeneres — $45 million
Judge Judy Sheindlin — $45 million
Singer Katy Perry — $44 million
Singer/Actress Beyonce Knowles — $35 million
Author Danielle Steel — $35 million
Interesting to note that not one female director, producer or actress other than Beyonce made the list. (I was reminded by a commenter that Oprah is of course a producer. But in the last year she has not produced a film. She has produced many TV shows and birthed a new network and she did present Precious recently. But I don’t personally think of her as an active film producer. Maybe now that the show is over this is one area she might increase her work in. That would be so great because she has the power to get things made and distributed). On the list of men there are all three including Tyler Perry, Steven Spielberg and Leonardo DiCaprio.
