Who has More Money – Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga? Forbes Best-Paid Young Celebs List Released
Posted by zakiy0609 at 11:04 AM
Forbes' annual list of the “Best-Paid Celebrities under Thirty” is out for the period of May 2010 through May 2011 – and the results will probably not surprise you.
The list covers the best paid singers, musicians, athletes, and movie stars during the twelve month period – not what they grossed, but what they put in their pocket.
Out of the twenty young celebrities, they cumulatively raked in almost $700 million dollars in paychecks during the year.
Topping the list this year is Lady Gaga with $90 million in paychecks. Most of that came from album sales and proceeds from her “Monster Ball” concerts – and maybe a few bucks from selling her translucent egg.
Justin Bieber came in second with $53 million worth of paychecks – mostly from his 150 “My World” concerts and his $100 million 3D movie “Never Say Never”. Bieber also had proceeds from fingernail polish, calendars, wrist bands, earphones, perfume, and other merchandise.
Coming in third place was NBA star LeBron James. His team may have lost last Sunday’s championship game, but his payday for the year was a modest $48 million dollars.
Other notables topping the list were Country singer Taylor Swift, tennis player Roger Federer, Katy Perry, Beyoncé Knowles, Rihanna, Carmelo Anthony, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Carrie Underwood, and Lil' Wayne.
Looks like “Friday” singer Rebecca Black will have to wait until next year.
It just goes to show you, stay in school, stay away from drugs, and work your butt off 24 hours a day seven days a week and you too can be rich!

What will Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes do for their little girl, is famous for her high-priced couture ($850 Ferragamo bags, $635 dresses), jet-setting life and occasional use of a pacifier.
Mother plans a perfect celebration, what she thinks, for Suri Cruise's birthday."This is my favorite day of the year, so we're going to have a little tea party," Katie Holmes told on his KIIS-FM show on Monday.
Suri, who turns 5 on April 18, will have her wishes granted on her special day. "She wants a pinata and her girlfriends to come over swimming," the Kennedys star explained of her low-key plans. "We're gonna make a cake together!"
Probably no Pin the Tail on the Donkey, though, Holmes suggested. "We're gonna have a little tea party. I kind of like to girl it up!"
Holmes also dished with Seacrest about two of Suri's favorite girly-girl books: Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious (about a girl who eats so many pink cupcakes that she wakes up with pink skin and hair).

Kate Noelle "Katie" Holmes (born December 18, 1978) is an American actress who first achieved fame for her role as Joey Potter on The WB television teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003. Her movie roles have ranged from art house films such as The Ice Storm to thrillers such as Abandon to blockbusters such as Batman Begins. In early 2005, Holmes began a highly publicized relationship with actor Tom Cruise. In June, two months after they first met, Holmes and Cruise were engaged. Their relationship made Holmes the subject of international
media attention, much of it negative, including speculation the relationship was a publicity stunt to promote the couple's films. Holmes, who was brought up as a Roman Catholic, joined the Church of Scientology shortly after the couple began dating. In April 2006, Holmes gave birth
to their daughter, Suri. On November 18, 2006, she and Cruise married in Italy.

Globe Awards. His first leading role was in 1983 film Risky Business, which has been described as "A Generation X classic, and a career-maker" for the actor. After playing the role of a heroic naval pilot in the popular and financially successful 1986 film Top Gun, Cruise continued in this vein, playing a secret agent in a series of Mission: Impossible action films in the 1990s and 2000s. In addition to these heroic roles, he has starred in a variety of other successful films such as Days of Thunder (1990), Jerry Maguire (1996), Magnolia (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001), Minority Report (2002), The Last Samurai (2003), Collateral (2004) and War of the Worlds (2005). Since 2005, Cruise and Paula Wagner have been in charge of the United Artists film studio, with Cruise as producer and star and Wagner as the chief executive. Cruise is also known for his controversial support of and adherence to the Church of Scientology.
Cruise was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of Mary Lee, a special education teacher, and Thomas Cruise Mapother III (died 1984), an electrical engineer.Cruise's surname originates from his great-grandfather, Thomas Cruise O'Mara,Cruise attended Robert Hopkins Public School for grades three, four, and five. The Mapother family then moved to the suburb of Beacon Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario, so Cruise's father could take a position as a defence consultant with the Canadian Armed Forces. There, Cruise completed grade six at Henry Munro Middle School, part of the Carleton Board of Education, where he was active in athletics, playing floor hockey almost every night, showing himself to be a ruthless player, and eventually chipping his front tooth. In the game British bulldogs, he then lost his newly capped tooth and hurt his knee. Henry
Munro was also where Cruise became involved in drama, under the tutelage of George teinburg. The first play he participated in was called IT, in which Cruise won the co-lead with Michael de Waal, one playing "Evil", the other playing "Good".Cruise first appeared in supporting roles the 1981 films Endless Love and Taps, the latter in which he played a crazed military school student. His first starring role was in the 1983 comedy Losin' It. Then all are a complete success and carry him to a position of what is now.
