if Celebrities make this much then why are they living in mere 2 million mansions. I think this is the name brand. this is not take home. Acts such as those who require producers/handlers/dancers, etc etc probably pay out 90 percent to the people running the businesses. Im not convinced some of those girls are making that much.

It is. Basically all celebrities are brands lol, and the money they get on these lists are what the 'brand' as a whole takes home. The actual person only gets a cut.

I just realized I basically repeated everything you ****ing said in other words.

She had the Super Bowl exposure (for press, web and social rank).
She's an investor of Vita Coco (one of the fastest growing independent beverage brands in the U.S).
Royalties (Glee episode, Super Bowl, Born This Way, etc).

It looks like they only check her when she tours.

I'm not being pressed, but why do the subrankings all indicate that people like Oprah, Bieber, and even Rihanna and Gaga seem to have outperformed J. Lo but she's still somehow #1? Is it partly subjective or something, because if based purely on earnings and social presence or whatever, Oprah/Bieber/Gaga/Rihanna are definitely higher than J. Lo.

So some of the girls who are heavily manufactured brands take less to the bank. They need to show their actual earning after all that.. it would kind of be impossible to determine that figure.

I find it funny that no one seemed to point out Elton John's 80M. What the **** did he do?

The queen made $40 M last year?

According to the just-released Forbes 2012 Celebrity 100 List, Jenny from the Block is back. She handily defeated Lady Gaga, last year’s No. 1, as well as Oprah Winfrey (No. 2), Britney Spears (No. 6), and Steven Spielberg (No. 10). Lopez’s resurgence can be credited to her gig as a judge on American Idol, as well as her Kohl’s clothing line, her top-selling fragrances, her endorsement deals with L’Oreal and Gillette, and the two movies she has coming out this year.

Unlike Forbes‘ other rankings, the Celebrity 100 isn’t all about the Benjamins; the magazine takes overall fame and Internet notoriety into account as well. And though Lopez’s earnings are less than Winfrey’s or Spielberg’s ($52 million vs. $165 million and $130 million, respectively), her enormous visibility and social media presence helped the multi-hyphenate snag the list’s top spot.

So, by your logic, if you gross tens of millions, then you should be living in houses that cost just as much ? That type of mentallity right there is exactly how fools and their money are soon parted. And if you read any Forbes Celeb 100 list article, it tells you that the earnings figure they print is based on the pre-tax gross before fees (management, lawyer, agent, etc.) are deducted.
