LUKE, BLAKE: Make Forbes Richest List
Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton are the only two country stars to make it onto Forbes magazine's list of highest-paid celebrities.
Luke clocks in at number-62 with a payday of $45.5 million in the last 12 months. Blake is number-72 with a haul of $43.5 million.
Topping the list is Kylie Jenner, who brought in $590 million. Coming in second is her brother-in-law Kanye West, who made $170 million.
Scott's Thoughts:
- No doubt Blake's coaching gig on The Voice and Luke's stint on American Idol contributed to their riches.
- If we were just talking about music artists, surely a lot more country stars would make the list.
- Country artists need more judging gigs to catch up to the other celebrities.
