what could make you feel worse about being $150,000 in debt? this!

forbes put out a list of the best paid celebrities under 30 just to make us all feel bad about ourselves and to reveal, to my surprise at least, that britney spears still makes money ($35 million?!?). i think i just blocked her out of my pop culture consciousness.

topping the list? beyonce, who at 27-years-old (just twisting the knife a little further into my heart) earned $87 million in 2008.




as expected, a few of my new tween celeb favs make the list (along with a few of my not-so celeb favs like britney spears, miley cyrus, and lebron james. at least lindsay lohan isn't on this list, thank goodness). here are my picks, read the whole story here.


Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas
Age:
16, 19, 21

Earnings:
$25 million

The three brothers from New Jersey continue their pursuit of 'tween domination. In the past 12 months, they've starred in a movie (Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience) and television series (JONAS on the Disney Channel), released an album (A Little Bit Longer sold 500,000 copies in the first week) and toured rigorously (their "Burning Up" tour grossed $41 million across 84 concerts last year).

Up next: their fourth album and first international tour.



Daniel Radcliffe
Age: 19

Earnings: $25 million

The 19-year-old continues to rake in $25 million each time he dons his circular glasses to play Harry Potter. The sixth installment of the franchise hits theaters in late July. Radcliffe has two more films to go; the final book was split in two movies. It remains to be seen if he can become a box-office draw outside of the Warner Bros. fantasy blockbusters.

[Note: this next fav is a bit unexpected, but she & my QB Tom Brady have been adorable recently. Stories about them are some of the few grown-up celeb gossip stories I'll read anymore.]



Gisele Bundchen
Age:
28

Earnings:
$25 million

The world's most famous fashion model continues to out-earn her peers. Once known as the shape of Victoria's Secret, Gisele is now the face of campaigns for Rampage, Max Factor and Ebel. She also endorses fashion brands True Religion and Versace. Gisele secretly wed long-time boyfriend, NFL quarterback Tom Brady, in February in Santa Monica, Calif.
