Kylie Jenner and Kanye West Are Forbes’ Highest-Paid Celebrities of 2020
A trio of sports superstars claimed the 3rd, 4th, and 5th highest-paid slots.
It’s official: Kylie Jenner has been named Forbes‘ highest-paid celebrity of 2020, earning a staggering $590 million this year. Rapper and sneaker mogul Kanye West–who happens to be Kylie’s brother-in-law–was $400 million behind her, raking in a comparatively paltry $170 million.
Forbes reports that Jenner, 23, earned the bulk of her $590 million windfall from selling a 51 percent stake of Kylie Cosmetics to beauty brand Coty in January 2020. So while Forbes may have revoked Jenner’s controversial billionaire status back in May, it appears that she’s still doing ridiculously well financially. Meanwhile, most of West’s $170 million came from his lucrative YEEZY sneaker deal with adidas.
