The previous year top earner, pop star Taylor Swift, dropped to 49th place. The vocalist acquired $44million down from $170million – however she hasn’t toured or released a collection since 2015.

“I’ve never met anybody that works harder than me in my industry,” Beyoncé told the magazine in 2009, which must be genuine – as she brought home $105 million to secure second place, after her lucrative Formation tour, an intricately arranged arrangement of exhibitions that took after her Lemonade collection.

Beyonce, who is expecting twins, is assessed to be worth $1 billion with her better half, rap head honcho Jay-Z, who himself ended up as number 55 on the rundown.

Harry Potter writer JK Rowling, who distributed a progression of eBooks a year ago, came in third at $95 million, making her the most paid celebrity outside of music.

She barely pushed out Canadian hip-hop star Drake, who dramatically increased his 2016 bring home on account of persevering touring, Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and Canadian R&B vocalist The Weeknd.

Guns N’ Roses made the number 11 spot, gaining $84 million, after key individuals, Axel Rose and Slash rejoined came back together for the first time since 23 years.

The few non-Western celebrities on the rundown included Hong Kong martial arts movie legend Jackie Chan at number 39 and Bollywood genius Shah Rukh Khan at 65.
