The 20 highest-paid female celebrities of 2019 have been revealed
August 28, 2019 | News | No Comments
It’s that time of year, again – the time when Forbes releases its data on celebrity earnings, and not coincidentally, the same time of year when our bank account balances start to feel a little light in comparison.
Following the crowning of cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner as the youngest self-made billionaire back in March, the publication has revealed its listings for 2019’s highest-paid actresses, together with the highest-paid women in music.
Ranking females at the fore of their own fields in a financial context, the yearly earnings of the 10 top-earning actresses and female musicians in their individual industries have this year seen staggering figures of US$56 million (approx. AU$83 million) and US$185 million (approx. AU$273 million), respectively. However it is worth noting that as impressive as these incomes are, there still exists an ever-apparent gender pay gap—particularly in Hollywood—with the seven top ranking actors from this year’s list out-earning the top ranking actress in her own listing.
Ranging from Marvel stars, to currently trending songstresses, to seasoned industry figures, this year’s listings feature repeated Forbes ranking appearances, as well as newcomers and some completely unexpected names.
Reportedly compiling the data with resources including Nielsen, box office data, as well as interviews with handlers, industry experts and many of the stars themselves, the stars’ pre-tax income is the final figure which determined their ranking. It’s also worth noting that the incomes published don’t take into account additional industry expenses, including agent fees, but with the combined income of just over US$962 million (approx. AU$1.4 billion), these top-earning figures are nothing to be sniffed at, gross numbers or not.
