Every year the American eminent edition of Forbes announces its “ratings”. Highest paid celebrities of 2020 have been named today, December 15.

According to  Forbes , the world’s highest earning stars earned $ 6.1 billion in 2020. That’s $ 200 million less than last year due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the entertainment industry. 

The world’s 100 highest-paid stars collectively earned $ 6.1 billion before taxes and fees to agents, managers or lawyers for the year – $ 200 million less than last year. The income of the rating participants decreased for the first time since 2016. But back then, the drop in overall celebrity earnings was due to the “high base” of 2015, when Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao earned nearly half a billion dollars for the most expensive fight in boxing history. This year, revenues were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has closed stadiums and cancelled concerts worldwide
