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.
ADDISON RAE – $8 MILLION
At 20, social media superstar Addison Rae is already worth an eye-watering $8 million. It’s largely thanks to her popularity on TikTok, a short-video sharing platform that has been sweeping the Internet by storm. As such, she topped the highest earners of the app in 2020, according to Forbes.
The influencer started doing TikTok videos as a student and ended up leaving school to move to Los Angeles. However, it looks like she is gearing to expand her skill set as she also dipped her toes into acting. Addison Rae recently starred in the Netflix-produced movie He’s All That, alongside Tanner Buchanan.
