TheBallerLife.com has learned that Sean “Diddy” Combs has topped Forbes’ annual list of the highest-paid celebrities in 2017.
Diddy beat out Beyoncé for the No. 1 spot, with $130 million in earnings over the past 12 months.
Business Insider reports:
There are three reasons behind the rapper and mogul’s climb. He sold one-third of his Sean John clothing line for an estimated $70 million, he has his lucrative Diageo Ciroc vodka partnership, and he put on his Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour.
Beyoncé made a huge jump from No. 34 last year to this year’s No. 2 ranking with $105 million earned. Forbes attributes her meteoric rise to her Formation World Tour and the release of her visual album, “Lemonade.”
Here are the top 10 celebrity earners:
1. Sean Combs, $130 million

3. J.K. Rowling, $95 million
