There is no surprise that Beyoncé has claimed the No. 1 spot on Forbes’ Celebrity 100 List. The singer has had one of the most profitable years with her highly grossing Mrs. Carter World Tour and may be looking to repeat that success with On The Run. 

Bey performed 95 shows pulling in an average of $2.4 million per stop, according to Pollstar, during her world tour. Her self-titled visual album’s leading single, “Drunk In Love,” has hit platinum status – selling more than $1 million copies. Yoncé’s moguldom doesn’t end there, the singer also earns millions in endorsement deals with H&M and Pepsi, her fragrances – Heat, Rise and Pulse – and lastly her clothing line, House of Dereon.

Forbes reports that Mrs. Carter earned an estimate of $115 million between June 1, 2013 to June 1, 2014. Hubby Jay Z isn’t too far away, claiming the No. 6 spot on the list with an estimated earning of $60 million for the year.

Lebron James, Dr. Dre, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres round out the top five for the Celebrity 100 list. Head to Forbes for a full estimated count of celebrity earnings.
