Forbes recently released a scathing and rather surprising expose on the wealth of Kylie Jenner, reneging on their claim that she's the youngest self-made billionaire after apparently going through her finances in detail and finding inconsistencies. Nonetheless, that hasn't stopped the wealth-tracking publication to include her as the highest-paid celebrity of 2020-- her wealth is still staggering regardless.

Today, the publication shared their annual rankings of the highest paid celebrities, which includes celebs from different avenues of the entertainment industry and pop culture at large-- from sports celebrities to musicians and more.
