Ever wondered what your favorite celebrities earn?
Parade magazine has broken down the stars? 2010 salaries for their 28th annual ?What People Earn? issue.
Topping the charts with $315M earned in 2010 was ? no surprise here! ? OWN network mastermind, Oprah Winfrey.
The estate of the late Michael Jackson took in $275M, despite the King of Pop?s tragic death in 2009.
Shockingly, aging rock group AC/DC beat some of today?s hottest stars with $114M.
America?s favorite swashbuckler, Johnny Depp, led the actor pack with a cool $100M.
It?s a good thing Jay-Z ?Put A Ring? on Beyonce ? the singer-actress-designer was on fire, pulling in $87M, while her hubby held his own with $63M.
Lady Gaga came in right behind HOVA with $62M, while America?s sweetheart, Academy Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock, earned $56M.
Comedienne and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres danced her way to $55M. Ryan Seacrest?s salary ?Trumped? The Donald?s, pulling in $51M while the real estate mogul earned $50M.

Far away from the glittering lights of Hollywood, Ross McArthur, a real-life sales executive from Scranton, Penn., (home of ?The Office?s? Dunder-Mifflin Scranton branch) earns $70,000, according to the mag. Chris Johnson serves as a superintendent of Parks & Recreation in Portage, Ind., much like Amy Poehler?s character on NBC?s ?Parks and Recreation,? and earns $58,000 annually.
