While critics have pondered on the means by which Forbes is able to come up with its calculations and list, the Global Wealth Index group says that they estimated Pre-tax earnings from June 2017-June 2018, before deducting fees for managers, based on data from Nielsen, touring trade publication, Pollstar, movie database IMDB, and interviews with industry experts and celebrities themselves.
The group also revealed that entertainers on its 2018 Celebrity 100 list earned a combined $6.3 billion before tax, up 22 percent from last year’s list. Many of the highest earners came as a result of celebrities leveraging their brands through side ventures as well as their social media presence.
