Beyonce dethroned as Forbes highest paid celebrity, dropping from number one to 29

Forbes has released their annual list of the highest paid celebrities – and Beyonce has been dethroned! Replacing her as the top earning celebrity for this fiscal year is Floyd Mayweather.

The boxer, nicknamed ‘Money’, earned $300 million (£190m) over the last year. It shatters the record for athlete earnings, which was previously held by Tiger Woods who banked $115 million in 2008.

Mayweather’s May 2 fight against Manny Pacquiao crushed multiple boxing financial records. Not surprisingly, Pacquiao is in second place having earned $160m.

Katy Perry comes in at number three with a whopping $135m. The pop star is the highest-earning non-boxer on this year’s Celebrity 100 list, thanks mostly to her Prismatic World Tour.

Shockingly  Beyonce didn’t make the top 10. In fact she barely cracked the top 30.

The singer, who took home $115m last year, ‘only’ earned $54.5m this year. Dropping her from number one to number 29.
