Let’s skip the part about why, the pointlessness, who cares about those guys? :rolleyes: 😉

[Forbes.com](http://www.forbes.com) has the top 400 richest Americans, and a list of 100 celebrities that takes into account earnings last year, popularity, ‘power,’ etc. Where can I find a longer list of celebs and how much they earn, or does this list- from Mel Gibson at 210 M in 04 to Paris Hilton at 2 M in 04- run the gammit? B/c I feel like it’s a special list, whereas I want a list of just the highest paid celebs last year, the longest list there is of this type. I know their list can’t be it; Jayz, Eminem, etc. are celebs and they had to get paid Millions in 04 too.
