If this belongs in Cafe, ok 😉

Where else besides [Forbes.com](http://www.forbes.com) would list celebrities and what they earn? Let’s skip the reason, who cares about that, and the :smack: we all do at how much those guys make :mad: .

This calculator has some information, but I can’t speak for its accuracy, and it’s limited to relatively few people…

There’s one like that at [salary.com](http://www.salary.com), and I meant to let you know I knew of it. I did the google search “celebrity salaries.” Thanks, though, b/c it may help. Anyone else? Is there really this little info? With all the information you can’t help but absorb about celebs at the grocer, on television, on the radio, at the ‘water cooler’, there really aren’t any useful resources, are there?

That pisses me off. :mad:

Ah, well, I just remembered it from having seen it at Monster some huge a few years ago (frankly, I was surprised to find that it’s still there).

IMDB shows salaries for some movie stars. No idea how accurate those are.

**andrewdt85**. This is the second thread you’ve started in a week on the exact same topic. And, when you don’t get an immediate answer, you bump your threads. The rule around here is you get one “free” bump. After that, if it sinks, so be it.
