Who Is New Jersey’s Highest Paid Celebrity For 2017?

Forbes has released their Top 100 highest paid entertainers in the world, and one New Jersey legend has made the Top 20.

Do you think you know who it is? If you think the performer is an actor or actress you'd be incorrect. But if music was the area you were guessing, you're getting very warm. So which legendary Garden State musician made the most in 2017?

That honor goes to the Boss. Yep, Bruce Springsteen combined his shows, a book advance and compilation album for a cool $75 million in 2017, according to the report from forbes.com, which puts him at #17.

Metuchen's magical David Copperfield pulled in $61.5 million, placing him at #24 on the list. Tom Cruise came in at #52 ($43 million) and Bon Jovi grabbed $35.5 million good for a #80 rank.

That's a lot of Garden State money right there. Congratulations to our beloved, talented New Jersey celebrities for a big 2017!
