Richest Celebrities

They’re famous, they’re powerful, and above all they’re rich. Yup I’m talking about the filthy rich superstars who sit on the top of the celebrity food chain, the 10 richest celebs in the world today.

Oprah Winfrey

She came, she saw, she conquered. After being born into poverty this African-American fame monster rose from the slums of Mississippi to the billionaire she is today. Her story is a truly inspirational one. 

U2

If you’re not living under a rock, then I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of them. This Irish sensation has been around since the ’70s, yet they still have managed to remain original and unique in their music more than anyone. Their music, it seems, has conquered the limitations of time and space, and age too.

Tyler Perry

Okay, to be honest, I didn’t know him until today, but for some reason beyond my comprehension, this man is the third richest celebrity out there. He’s an actor, a director, a producer, an author and a playwright. This man then, is like Grover from Sesame Street, he does it all, maybe not that well, but he pulls it off okay.

Bon Jovi

Rising from the women’s shoe store where he worked back in ’82, this guy formed a band after his own name and has one the most recognizable names in the music industry today. He and his band, like U2, have stood the test of time, making a lot of money along the way.

Jerry Bruckheimer

Aah, one my personal favorites, Jerry Bruckheimer. There’s none that need be said once you see this outstanding film producer’s filmography, which contains some very big names such as Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun, The Rock, Con Air, Crimson Tide, Armageddon, Enemy of the State, Gone in 60 Seconds, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Steven Spielberg

Of course, this man needs no introduction too. He is the biggest whale in the sea of movie directors and producers(after Bruckheimer), the top gun. He is Steven Spielberg, and that’s that.

Elton John

If you were around back in the 20th century then you’ve definitely heard of him. He was dubbed Sir Elton John in 1998 for his ‘services to music and charitable services’ by Queen Elizabeth 2. Need I go on?!

Lady Gaga

Had enough with those old hags and their boring tales of success? Want somebody who’s not ‘prehistoric’? Well here you go then Sir. I’m pretty sure you know her, especially with her being Forbes Magazine’s most ‘powerful’ celebrity on the planet. This diva earned her fame and fortune overnight, owing mostly to her unique performing style. She is now, ‘The Fame Monster’.

Simon Cowell

If you’re a teenage girl who watches(or watched) American Idol, then you’re sure to have a crush on this old grunt. And I don’t blame ya, because he is after all the 9th richest celebrity in the world today along with being many other things that this blog forbids me from sharing. (wink)

James Patterson

Aah I remember reading one of his novels a few years back. How on Earth did he make it onto this list? Bleh, what the heck? I’m just glad that Bieber kid didn’t make this list.
