Parade Magazine released its 25th annual "What People Earn" feature and highlighted the salaries of some of our favorite celebrities. According to the magazine, Jennifer Aniston earned $27 million last year while Britney Spears only took in $2.25 million in 2008 when she was gearing up for her 2009 tour. Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z are a power duo both in the $80 million range. Tina Fey had the biggest year of her career and clocked in at $4.6. They have more numbers from Sarah Palin to Kelly Ripa so check out the list and tell us — are you surprised when you compare stars' incomes?

Maniston is NOT worth that much - she plays Rachel Green in every movie!
1Tyler perry made 125 million? is that a typo?
2Where do these figures come from? Jenifer Aniston only made two movies last year, and they were not big numbers. Most of these celebrity income figures are made up by tabloid journalists on their lunch break.
3I think it's disgusting how much money these people make!!!
4Well, it kind of bothers me that a hero such as Chesley Sullenberger makes "only" 100 000$ a year when stupid arrogant propagandist Rush Limbaugh makes 38M$. As for Rod Blagojevich, does his salary include bribes or not ?
5No I am not surprised. At all.
Qteepie, Tyler Perry is amazing and his past films sell like crazy. The man is amazing.
Jen didn't just do Marley and Me last year...she is also the spokesperson for SmartWater and I am sure they pay her well. So I can see how she is on the list...
I think this list just states what people made but not really like who earned more than who type of thing...it just picked random people.
6Nah, none of my business.
7Jennifer Aniston did not just act in two movies last year. Last I heard, she has a production company that makes movies (btw, AND money) and she was a spokesperson for Smartwater. I'm surprised at AJ's earnings - which were reported on another site as $14 Million. Either they didn't they factor in photo sales or girlfriend needs a new lawyer to negotiate her contracts.
8Wow- JayZ and Beyonce- they're rolling in it!! Kelly Ripa doesnt too bad either..
9Don't be mad at them...that money is YOUR money you gave them by spending it the crap they peddle.
10I always said I hate Hollywood...but I love Atlanta
I'd audition
for Tyler Perry any day.
11Gah, Tyler Perry and Rush Limbaugh are not worth 1% of what they make and Tina Fey is worth sooooo much more.
12I made 45 thousand last year
13I wonder how much of that money is earnings from posing as a girlfriend/boyfriend?
14I bet John got a belly full of smart water.
"Britney Spears ONLY made 2.25 million".... boohoo
15granted i think that this is information that we shouldn't know, but i am surprised sometimes when reading about who's towards the top and who's at the bottom
16Tulipe - "As for Rod Blagojevich, does his salary include bribes or not ?"
17lol! Sadly he would fit right in with some Argentine politicians.
I'm surprised that they make so much. Period.
18I find the amount all of these celebs make is disgusting.. $80 million for JZ and B???, and when they "complain" it's even sicker.......oh don't take my pic, oh please do take my picture...
Doctors, teachers, firefighters.....hum need I say more (I'm Canadian so I included Doctors!)
19PensaGray - you're quite right
20I think there should have been a "shocked" option. 80 million is outrageous.
21My god why is everyone so obsessed with Jennifer Aniston to the point that she was able to earn that much money! I don't get her continual appeal
22Jen is worth every penny of it.
23im suprised that;
24britney only got 2.25 million but
tiger woods got 110 million!
they all take money for granted
i dont see why they should make so much for doing so little
since I'm not on the list, f-it lol
