Forbes released its Highest-Paid Celebrities list for 2020, and some of the biggest names in rock made the top 100.
The entire top 100 list made a combined $6.1 billion, with top rock artist Elton John accounting for $81 million of that total, which landed him at number 14 on the list. Topping the list at number one was Kylie Jenner earning $590 million due to selling "51% of Kylie Cosmetics to publicly traded Coty, Inc. in January 2019 for $600 million; she pocketed $540 million, pretax."
So, which other rockers joined Sir Elton on the list? Scroll through the gallery below to find out who, their ranking and how much they made.
