Forbes: These are the 10 highest-paid celebrities

Los Angeles — There's no Blank Space in Taylor Swift's bank account.

The singer-songwriter tops Forbes' annual list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities with $170m.

Swift is ahead of fellow chart-topping pop stars Adele at No. 9 with $80.5m, Madonna at No. 12 with $76.5m, Rihanna at No. 13 with $75m and Katy Perry at No. 63 with $41m.

The Shake It Off crooner's star-studded 1989 World Tour earned more than $200m last year.

Swift's DJ ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris landed at No. 21 on the magazine's list with $63m.

Watch to find out who else made it to the top 10:

Kim Kardashian is featured on the magazine's cover.

She's No. 42 on the list with $51m. Forbes says 40 percent of her paycheck this year came from her mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

Of her cover, the reality TV star said she believes landing the prestigious cover would have meant a huge deal to her father Robert Kardashian, who passed away in 2003. 

She tweeted:

The game's maker, Glu Mobile, is scheduled to release an app starring Swift later this year.
