FORBES HIGHEST PAID STARS UNDER 30

Now leave it up to Forbes to let us know who is making a lot more money than us! This is the Forbes List of Highest Paid Stars Under 30. Looking at the list, you'll notice that the highest paid celebrities are mainly females and almost all in the music industry, besides the Twilight stars. Forbes looked at the earnings between May 2011 and May 2012 and included pay for everything entertainment related such as album and concert revenue, movie pay days and endorsements.


Robert Pattinson - 26
Pay - $26.5 million
Now I can see how he makes the list, at least he has a list of movies that he's starred in besides Twilight including Remember Me and Water for Elephants. For some reason, this "vampire" looks a lot older than 26 too! He is young...or is he fooling us?




Taylor Lautner - 20
Pay - $26.5 million
I honestly don't see how Taylor Lautner has made that much money with basically having Twilight under his belt. Fame and popularity raked in the bucks on this one.




Lil Wayne - 29
Pay - $27 million
Okay, for some reason, why did I think Lil Wayne was older than 29?! He's still so young and has gone through so much! Props to him! During the past year, he has earned $600,000 per show and has recently launched his own clothing line called Trukfit and signed a big endorsement deal with Mountain Dew.




Kristen Stewart - 22
Pay - $34.5 million
Glad to see Kristen Stewart made it on this list and managed to top the list of the Highest Paid Actresses. Her movies include big hits such as the Twilight saga, and Snow White and the Huntsman. The constant tabloid press around her and Robert Pattinson doesn't hurt either.




Adele - 24
Pay - $35 million
I guess it does pay to sing about heartbreak. From her album 21, she has sold over 23 million copies AND has won all 6 Grammy awards for which she was nominated. Try beating that!




Katy Perry - 27
Pay - $45 million
If you didn't know, Katy Perry and Michael Jackson are the only artists in music history to have 5 #1 singles from the same album. On her California Dream tour, she grossed an impressive $60 million dollars!




Lady Gaga - 26
Pay - $52 million
Formerly topping the list last year, Lady Gaga takes a back seat since she's not touring. Her money this year comes a lot from music sales and her social media influence.




Rihanna - 24
Pay - $53 million
Money talks that talk to Rihanna. Besides releasing one hit after another, she's involved with endorsements with Vita Coco and Nivea along with her own fragrance Reb'l Fleur. Stay tuned for her upcoming tour!




Justin Bieber - 18
Pay - $55 million
Wherever Justin Bieber goes, money and screaming girls follow. Did you know that his video "Baby" is the most watched video in YouTube history? Now that's a feat!




Taylor Swift - 22
Pay - $57 Million
Taylor Swift is a money-making machine. During her most recent tour, she made about $1 million per night. Her many accolades include winning two Grammys for the song "Mean" and being one of the faces of CoverGirl.





Power to the under 30 stars who have made this list! Not only are they young, but very talented! Were you surprised to see who made the list?
