Forbes releases 2018 Wealthiest Celebrities list

AKIPRESS.COM - Forbes has released its annual list of America's wealthiest celebrities, and "Star Wars" creator George Lucas is still at the top of the list. With a net worth of $5.4 billion, Lucas's net worth is $1.7 billion more than Steven Spielberg in the No. 2 spot, WTHR reports.

Much of Lucas' wealth can be attributed to the sale of his production company, Lucasfilm, to Disney in 2012 for $4.1 billion.

The rest of the list features many of the same celebs on the 2017 list: media mogul Oprah (No. 3), basketball star and businessman Michael Jordan (No. 4), rapper and mogul Jay-Z (tie No. 5), magician David Copperfield (No. 7), rapper and mogul Diddy (No. 8), golfer Tiger Woods (tie No. 9) and author James Patterson (tie No. 9).

The big addition for 2018 was Kylie Jenner, coming in a tie with Jay-Z with a net worth of $900 million.
