Entertainment's Highest Top Ten Earning Women List

Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women

The ten ladies who top our list of Entertainment's Highest-Earning Women earned a total $739 million between May 2010 and May 2011. To compile our list of estimates we talked to agents, managers, lawyers and other folks in the know. Earning reflect income during the time period. Taxes and things like agent and manager fees were not deducted.

Oprah Winfrey:$290 million 

Winfrey beats her closest earning competitor on our list by a whopping $200 million. But with her show ending, how long will the queen of talk be able to maintain those kinds of earnings? Her cable network, OWN, has yet to take off.

 Lady Gaga:$90 million

Lady Gaga topped our Celebrity 100 this year (which measures money AND fame) but she earned a full $200 million less than Oprah. Gaga will have to stay relevant if she's going to continue to rank at the top of our lists.

 

Bethenny Frankel: $55 million 

The reality star banked big bucks over the past year with a savvy sale of Skinny Girl drinks to Fortune Brands. Frankel is planning to expand her brand with rumors flying about a possible talk show.

Gisele Bundchen: $45 million

The supermodel went back to work just weeks after giving birth to her first son with husband Tom Brady. In addition to her modeling fees, Bundchen earns big from endorsement deals and Gisele for Ipanema.

Ellen DeGeneres:$45 million
DeGeneres is more than just a talk show host. She owns part of a pet food company called Halo and she recently started her own record label, Eleveneleven.

Judge Judy Sheindlin:$45 million

Judge Judy may be more under-the-radar than Oprah Winfrey but her daytime show used to regularly beat the queen of talk in ratings. With Winfrey gone, look for Sheindlin's to be the syndicated show to beat.

Taylor Swift:$45 million
Swift may only be 21 but she's a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Her latest album, Speak Now, sold five million copies globally.

Katy Perry:$44 million
Perry's second studio album, Teenage Dream, has had four singles hit the Billboard No. 1 spot so far but Perry isn't just earning from her music. She voiced Smurfette in the recent Smurfs movie and she has a best-selling perfume.

Beyonce Knowles:$35 million
The 30-year-old singer just announced that she is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z. Her latest album 4, sold 310,000 copies in its first week.

Miranda Lambert policy the ACM Awards again—and Taylor Swift Gets Mean!

A number of shows lead to a chorus of boos and shouted needs for refunds, but the 46th Academy of Country Music Awards had much more to offer than just a man furious playing. Like Edward Cullen!

Why Robert Pattinson was there, you ask? To prop up his new movie, of course. R.Pattz, plus a whole slew of country music stars were at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Sunday night to both hand out and receive awards, with Blake Shelton and the honorable Reba McEntire hosting the festivities. Blake, soon to be cohosting NBC's The Voice, showed off his sense of humor at the top of the show by poking fun at Entertainer of the Year nominee Brad Paisley with a guitar sex joke. And really, is there any better kind? Blake told the crowd of Brad's intense guitar-ing ways: "If he plays that thing any harder, he's gonna get it pregnant."

Besides sexual gadget quips, there were also awards won, and of course, awards lost. How many did seven-nominee Miranda Lambert win? 

Taylors Swift and Lautner come together in Valentine's Day follow-up?

 The world's unreasonable comedy stars joined both in February's hot mess, Valentine's Day, and we got treated to tons of celebs popping up for a few minutes here and there in the mostly-OK flick. Did you miss it? Perhaps you did. We got Jessica Alba, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel and a ton of other stars showing off their rom-com chops. Including former lovebirds Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.For the two pretty teens, this film lit the spark in their once-fiery relationship (Tay-Squared, anyone?). So you can guess how freakin' interested we were when a convinced well-informed source dropped a clue about the film's future follow-up, New Year's Eve...

Revolve out it skin an all-new cast of characters. Of course, one particular starlet is asked to stay—none other than Swift!"They were thoughts about having Taylor Swift is in college at NYU," whispers one of our sneakiest sources (who are straight mixed up with the follow-up plan). "They were throw her name out there a while back."
