Forbes have once again produced their top highest paid celebrity list but for 2013. Here's the criteria they use when populating such a list:
"To compile our list, we talked to agents, managers, producers and other in-the-know folks to come up with estimates for each celebrity’s entertainment-related earnings between June 2012 and June 2013, the time frame for our Celebrity 100 list. We do not deduct for taxes, agent fees or the other expenses of being a celebrity."
And the list goes like...
10. LADY GAGA
Lady Gaga sings her way into a very nice 10th place on our list. With her musical talents and knack for making hit after hit, this pop diva has worked hard for the money she's earned.
$80 MILLION
9. JERRY BRUCKHEIMER
Mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer who has been making hits since before any of us can remember and continues to do so gets a nice cushy spot at number 9. From Top Gun to Pirates of the Caribbean, Bruckheimer proves himself as a Hollywood institution.
$80 MILLION
8. MICHAEL BAY
The man who almost single handedly injected Hollywood mainstream with a heavy shot of testosterone explodes onto our list at number 8. Even the critics can't stop Michael Bay from the huge success he's earning including upcoming movies Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) and Transformers 4 (2014).
$82 MILLION
7. GLENN BECK
Fox's Glenn Beck proves persistence and hard work does really pay off.

2. STEVEN SPIELBERG
