Forbes releases its list of highest-paid celebrities

WASHINGTON — Forbes magazine has released its top 100 highest-paid celebrities.

This magazine has done the list since 1999, but this year, Forbes refocused its Celeb 100 by only ranking talent that’s in front of the camera. Forbes’ list measured money earned from June 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015, then subtracted management fees and taxes.

The magazine’s figures are based on data from Nielsen, Pollstar, Box Office Mojo and IMDB. Forbes interviewed agents, managers and lawyers.

Thirty-two of this year’s members are from areas outside the U.S. As a result, this Forbes list is more diverse than previous years.
