Oprah Winfrey Tops Forbes’ List Of Highest Paid Celebrities, Followed By…Michael Bay?

Get ready to hate your bank account…

Forbes has unveiled their annual list of the highest-paid celebrities, and the results are astounding!

Topping the list yet again this year is Oprah Winfrey, who, despite taking in $125 Million less than last year, still earned a ridiculous $165 million–or over $10 Million in a month. (Forbes is quick to point out, however, that Winfrey’s earnings will drop significantly next year without her syndication income.

The celeb that took second place, however, is a bit more of a surprise: director Michael Bay with $160 million, all thanks to TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON. He even beat out Steven Spielberg, who took third with $130 million, and frequent producing partner Jerry Bruckheimer, who came in fourth with $115 million.

Take a look at the entire top twenty list below, and get ready to no longer be satisfied with being a thousand-aire.

1. Oprah Winfrey – $165 million
2. Michael Bay – $160 million
