The Weeknd is number six on the 100 list.
Collectively, the top 30 highest-paid celebrities under 30 earned $1.24 billion before taxes and fees between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017.
Due in part to the preponderance of professional athletes, the overall list of the world's highest paid young stars is wildly unbalanced, with 84% of the list being male.
Russian stars of show business and sports are always in the spotlight. Their earnings, level of popularity, mention in online and paper publications and search engines - everything is taken into account and systematized.
So Forbes magazine, after a thorough analysis, released the annual rating of the most famous Russian stars in 2017, the list was based on three factors:
- annual income (from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017);

Fans are still wondering who the star's heart is occupied with, because Bilan is very sensitive to the secret of his personal life and does not give the yellow press reasons for scandals. Because of this, ill-wishers even suspected the singer of a “not such” orientation.

There are also family pictures - with a child, with his wife. Some friends bought - thanks to them. I'll give the money to charity."
3. Sergey Shnurov - $11 million
About what is happening with this artist, you can say - "breakthrough"! 2016 for the 44-year-old frontman of the Leningrad group turned out to be, well, simply unrealistically successful. The songs "Exhibit" and "In St. Petersburg - to drink" brought the team to a new wave of popularity. And this could not but affect the income! And it should also be said that Shnurov has his own Blue Pushkin bar, the Kokoko restaurant, which is run by the artist’s wife Matilda, and his own Shnurovs clothing line. Well, it should be noted that Shnurov devotes a lot of time to writing music for TV shows and movies.
2. Alexander Ovechkin - $12.1 million
Hockey player Alexander Ovechkin (31 years old) is in second place in the ranking. As much as $12.1 million went into his pocket in 2016. It is not only his profession that brings such income to a hockey player. Among other things, he is the face of various game simulators and the most successful commercial hockey player. Ovechkin has multi-year advertising contracts with Nike, Gatorade and Bauer. Last year, the athlete signed one of the most expensive advertising contracts in our country! This is a contract with Otkritie Bank. Its amount was 700,000 dollars.

The first place in the ranking has been occupied by tennis player Maria Sharapova (30 years old) for many years now. In 2016, she earned $21.9 million. Maria is not just an ex-first racket of the world, but also a businesswoman. She has her own production of chewing sweets and Sugarpova gum. And the athlete also invested in The Supergoop, which produces sunscreens. It is impossible not to mention that one of the main occupations of the girl is the management of the Maria Sharapova Foundation, which participates in charitable programs of the United Nations.
The most wealthy representatives of Russian show business are the famous trainers Edgard and Askold Zapashny. Their fortune approached the mark of 6 million dollars. Despite the fact that both twin brothers, and not one of them, earned this round sum, such an achievement can truly be called a breakthrough in the domestic circus business. Their rich stars and part-time parents can rightly be proud of their talented sons, successors of the famous circus dynasty. 
The second place according to the Forbes rating was taken by Grigory Leps. By 2011, the singer managed to increase his capital to $ 5 million, beating Alla Pugacheva in this regard, her ex-wife Philip Kirkorov and the current favorite of the Prima Donna Maxim Galkin. This achievement can be explained by the large number of fans of the singer. Grigory Leps often breaks records for the number of listeners at concerts and for the sales of his audio recordings. The individuality of the artist's work brought him a permanent audience of fans, which only grows every year. In third place in the list of the richest people in Russian show business is probably the most scandalous singer of the national stage - Philip Kirkorov. He earned almost $5 million. 
A little less, namely, 4.7 million dollars, Maxim Galkin earned, taking fourth place in the Russian Forbes rating. Maxim Galkin owes much of his success to his “close acquaintance” with Alla Borisovna, who is not only his common-law wife, but also the patroness of the young showman’s work. On the other hand, if the artist were not a talented TV presenter, comedian, singer and actor, it would be difficult for him to earn even half of his current fortune. Fifth place is occupied by the Prima Donna itself. In this case, comments are unnecessary. It would be surprising if Alla Pugacheva did not get into the top ten richest stars of Russian show business, where she has been holding on for several years and does not seem to be going to leave in subsequent years. Her net worth is $4.5 million. 
In sixth place in the magazine's rating, among the richest celebrities in Russia, was Timur Bekmambetov. The talented film director, clip maker and producer has already entered the top five of the best film directors in the world. His film "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie in the title role collected more than 84 million dollars and brought Timur Bekmambetov worldwide recognition. The director was also helped to earn $ 4 million by his famous films: “Night Watch”, “Day Watch”, “Irony of Fate. Continuation", "Christmas Trees". Timur Bekmambetov has every chance to rise higher in the Forbes rating next year. 
Seventh place in the top ten richest domestic celebrities went to Dima Bilan. The winner of "Eurovision - 2008" earned 3.7 million dollars. 
Eighth place in the ranking belongs to Nikolai Baskov. Recently, the artist not only sings on stage and corporate parties, but is also a successful TV presenter of entertainment programs and concerts. To date, the state of the singer has 3.6 million dollars. 
Ninth place - the charming singer Valeria. For many years now, a mother of three children and an amazingly talented woman have been pleasing her fans with her unique voice and stunning appearance. Valeria earned $3.5 million. At the very bottom of the "rich ten" is the "nightingale" of the national stage - Valery Meladze. The capital of the singer is 3.2 million dollars.
The issue of money has been one of the most important in human life since time immemorial. But what if there are not so many own funds to recalculate? Count strangers! Jokes are jokes, and public interest in the multimillion-dollar fortunes (especially in dollars) of the richest people on the planet is unlikely to ever fade away. The main "observer" of this topic - Forbes magazine - not so long ago published a rating of the richest celebrities, whose total fortune amounted to almost a billion dollars.
