Kylie Jenner is the youngest entrant on Forbes‘ 2017 list of the 100 highest-earning celebrities, clocking an astonishing US $41M over the past twelve months. She’s nineteen years old, and she made about a dollar thirty every second.

The cosmetics queen and Keeping Up With The Kardashians mainstay makes her debut on the list at #59; that’s only a few spots behind Kim Kardashian West, whose earnings totalled US $45.5M.

The list has undergone a bit of a shakeup since last year’s edition elsewhere, too. The Weeknd, who made his debut on the list last year with earnings of US $55M, claimed a wild US $92M this time around.

His streaming royalties and massive world tour were enough to put him in sixth place for the year, ahead of musos like Coldplay, Justin Bieber, end even Adele. Only three other artists stand before him: Toronto compatriot Drake (US $94M), Beyoncé (US $105M), and Sean Combs ($130M).

If you’re wondering exactly what Diddy did to amass that cash, the answer is reasonably simple: he offloaded a full third of his Sean John brand, raking in US $70M in the process.

Other notable entries on the list include Judge Judy Sheindlin, who somehow makes US $47-fucken-million a year from roasting idiots, and Chance The Rapper, who earned US $33M despite not actually selling any records.
