We come to the end of another financial year and with it, a little bit more of a look into the monetary value of some of our favourite personalities, be it on stage, screen or sport. But who after a bumper year of cinema-going and the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon was the highest-paid entertainer in the last 12 months?
Forbes as always has pulled together a list compiling who has been the most lucrative celebrity on screen in 2023, with the top spot somewhat of a surprise. Forbes' method for working out these figures took estimates for earnings in 2023 and was derived from interviews with industry professionals and data sources like IMDBPro and Polestar. These figures reflect pre-tax income, excluding fees for representation (10% to agents, 10% to managers, and 5% to lawyers).
So who was 2023’s highest-paid entertainer and were you surprised by any of the names featured in the top ten?
