Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton made the Forbes list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities for 2020.
Luke Bryan ranked at #62 on the list, making a whopping $45.5 million. While he pushed back his “Proud To Be Right Here Tour” due to the coronavirus outbreak, before the pandemic, he had been pulling in an average gross of more than $1 million per city on tour.
Forbes reports that Bryan has plenty of income outside of music, earning an estimated $12 million each season as a judge on American Idol.
Blake Shelton made the list coming in at #70 earning $43.5 million. Forbes said that Shelton earns far more from The Voice than he does from recorded music. He makes $13 million per season for his role as a judge alongside Nick Jonas, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend.
Before the coronavirus outbreak, Shelton was grossing just shy of $1 million per city on the road.
The top-earning celebrities were Kylie Jenner and Kanye West, who brought in $590 million and $170 million, respectively.
