In 2020, the world’s highest-paid celebrities raked in a combined $6.1 billion, despite travel restrictions and social distancing measures in place that had apparently crippled the world of showbiz. While it takes a lot to make it in Tinseltown, some of our favorite stars have used their god-given talents of singing, acting, or performing to dominate the stage.

Despite having a slow year in front of the camera lens, what sets these modern-day celebrities apart is their ability to leverage their newfound fame into successful business and entrepreneurial ventures to make big bucks behind the screen. Here’s a closer look at how Hollywood’s A-listers make and spend their millions.

DREW BARRYMORE – $125 MILLION

Drew Barrymore won fans’ hearts when she portrayed Gertie Taylor in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 flick “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” The ’90s were equally kind to her with appearances in critically acclaimed productions like “Poison Ivy,” “Ever After,” and “Scream.” As with “Music and Lyrics,” Barrymore raked in as much as $15M per film appearance and she is worth a reported $125M.

Part of her fortune comes from business ventures like Flower Films which is behind “The Drew Barrymore Show.” She established the production company in collaboration with Nancy Juvonen. As an entrepreneur, the “50 First Dates” star launched perfume, eyewear, and makeup lines under the Flower banner.
