It's been a relatively slow news week, so to make up for it here is a link to a recent article listing 10 of the world's wealthiest celebrities and their respective net worth. It strikes me upon looking at the list that to reach these heights of wealth as an entertainer you need to be a shrewd business person in addition to doing something for which the public will lavish huge sums of money on you. Or you could just mercilessly whore yourself out.

The story contains details for each one as to how they made their money. Love 'em or hate 'em, these are some truly charmed individuals with more money than a single human being should ever need:

10. Bryan Williams (Birdman) - Estimated Net Worth: $100 Million

9. Gisele Bündchen - Estimated Net Worth: $250 Million

8. Howard Stern - Estimated Net Worth: $500 Million

7. Magic Johnson - Estimated Net Worth: $500 Million

6. Jerry Seinfeld - Estimated Net Worth: $800 Million

5. Bono - Estimated Net Worth: $900 Million

4. J.K. Rowling - Estimated Net Worth: $1 Billion
