1 Oprah Winfrey $165 million 
She has a failing magazine and network. Plus she does not have her show anymore. How in the Hell did she still make that much? :P
2 Michael Bay $160 million 
Makes sense.
3 Steven Spielberg $130 million 
Not because of his movies, but he has games and tv shows now as well.
4 Jerry Bruckheimer $115 million 
Yep.
5 Dr. Dre $110 million 
I am guessing off royalties and the occassional beat that he produces for someone?
6 Tyler Perry $105 million 
No idea how. His movies are not that big.
7 Howard Stern $95 million 
Makes sense
8 James Patterson $94 million 
200 books a year, makes sense.

From what? The Tv show, books, and putting movies in 3D?

17 Dr. Phil McGraw $64 million 
From his role in Scary movie? That show of his is daytime garbage. How in the hell do these people do this?
18 Donald Trump $63 million 
Investments and that show. Investments should not count, and neither should he.
19 Ryan Seacrest $59 million 
He is everywhere. This guy works hard for a measily 60 million.
20 Britney Spears $58 million 
Concerts and Cd's and Magazine covers. Makes sense.
