Forbes Magazine has just released its annual list for Entertainment’s Highest Earning Women, and as usual, Oprah Winfrey nabbed the first place with $290 million between May of 2010 and May 2011.
Singer Lady Gaga took the second spot with $90 million thanks to her constant touring, music sales, endorsement deals and merchandise.
Perhaps the biggest surprise here is Bethenny Frankel, a former Real Housewives of New York City alum and current star of her own reality series on Bravo.
Frankel hit it big after she sold her Skinny Girl Margarita mix to Fortune Brands for a rumored $100 million. This past year she was able to cash in around $55 million.
Tied for fourth place are supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Taylor Swift, Ellen DeGeneres and Judge Judy with $45 million each.
Katy Perry’s next with $44 million while Beyonce and author Danielle Steel both made $35 million.
