Bruce Springsteen, Eagle Fletcher Cox make Forbes' 'Highest Paid Celebrities' list

Several celebs with ties to the Philly area have been raking in cash over the past year, as Forbes’ “World’s Highest-Paid Celebrities” list for 2017 shows.

Published this week, the list runs down the 100 top-earning celebrities of the last year, using data from a time period of June 1, 2016 to June 1, 2017. The total income listed amounts to about $5.15 billion — more than the GDP of Gambia, Liberia, and Belize combined, Forbes reports.

Topping the group of Philly-connected celebs on the list is New Jersey’s Bruce Springsteen, who took 17th place with some $75 million earned between June 2016 and June 2017.
