Did you know who the world's Highest Paid Entertainers are?

Did you know who the world's Highest Paid Entertainers are?

1. Oprah Winfrey £130million Apart from her talk show, Oprah enjoys profits from a radio show, magazine, Broadway musical ('The Color Purple') and other hit chat shows hosted by Dr. Phil McGraw and Rachael Ray. In total Winfrey is worth an estimated £750million.


2. Jerry Bruckheimer £60million
Bruckheimer's signature is for films and TV shows bulging with action. He has recently earned big through the various Pirates of the Caribbean films, numerous CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series, and Without a Trace.




3. Steven Spielberg £55million

Spielberg has got it made when it comes to movie production. When working on a movie, it is said he takes up to 50% of the gross income. So next year he could well top this list, since his current projects are (yet more) sequels to Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park.





4. Tiger Woods £50million
Much of Woods' income comes from Nike, who in turn enjoy the profits from their range of Tiger-endorsed golfing goods - worth £300million to them by some accounts. Tiger's playing fees for some tournaments reach £1.5million.





5. Johnny Depp £46million
Enjoying the treasure of the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Depp's next notable film role will be as Sweeney Todd. But at a cut-throat price?




6. Rolling Stones £44million (each)
Still rolling, and very much rocking, the Stones' 'Bigger Bang' world tour, which started shows in 2005, has so far to date grossed over £230 million.






7. Jay-Z £41.5million
"Can you pay my bills, can you pay my telephone bill?", once sang Beyoncé, Jay-Z's partner in love. Probably. Aside from the successful recording career, this year Jay-Z sold his Rocawear clothing label to Iconix for £102million.
