The 20 richest celebrities in the world
Samantha Lee/Business Insider
Wealth-X, a firm that conducts research on the super-wealthy, culled its data to compile a list of the 20 richest celebrities, considering only actors, musicians, and professional athletes who are still working today. That means billionaires like Oprah and Michael Jordan - who are in more managerial roles rather than performance roles - weren't considered for this list, and neither were people who work primarily behind the scenes, like directors and producers.
Though no one on this list cracked billionaire status, the top two names - pop star Madonna and professional golfer Tiger Woods - are close, with $910 million and $900 million in the bank, respectively. Jerry Seinfeld came in at No. 3, with a net worth of $860 million, making him the wealthiest comedian and actor in the world.
From Academy Award-winning actors to rappers-turned-producers, here are the wealthiest celebrities still in the game:
