Meanwhile, famous boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao secured the first and second laces with a cool $300 and $160 million, respectively.

Poop star, Katy Perry occupies the third spot on Forbes’ list of the World’s Highest-Paid Celebrities 2015, making her the wealthiest female entertainer on planet Earth with $135 million earned in the last 12 months.

''I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company,'' Perry, who covers the mag in a dollar-sign blinged-out suit, told Forbes. ''I'm an entrepreneur… I don’t want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls.''

According to Perry’s managers, 60 percent of her income comes from foreign markets as seventy-five of her 124 Prismatic World Tour shows took place abroad.

Following behind Perry in the fourth spot is British boy band One Direction, who cashed in at $130 million. Howard Stern, Garth Brooks, James Patterson, Robert Downey Jr., Taylor Swift, and Cristiano Ronaldo round out the top 10.
