One month after giving us the highest-paid celebrities, Forbes released its list of highest-paid women this morning.
Since the highest-earning celebs are all men but two, we finally get a look at what other women make top dollar.
Let's just say it pays to be a pop star.
The list accounts for earning estimates from May 2011 to May 2012, and while most of the women won't surprise, the woman who ranks all the way up at number two may come as a shock.
8. (TIE) Judge Judy Sheindlin: $45 million
No surprise here, after we revealed last month the syndicated court house judge currently earns the largest celebrity paycheck on television.
Sheindlin is also Forbes' 13th richest person in the world. Her show has been on the air for more than a decade, debuting in September 1996.
8. (TIE) Katy Perry: $45 million
Perry was just named Billboard's Woman of the Year after releasing the documentary "Part of Me" and receiving her ninth number one single on the Billboard charts with "Wide Awake."
Currently, the singer is reportedly putting together a divorce party on … the same date when she married ex-husband Russell Brand: October 23.
We're not sure what that is, but it's been described as "a day of doing what she loves with her favourite people."
8. (TIE) Gisele Bundchen: $45 million
The former Victoria's Secret model is currently expecting her second child with the Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady.
Last year, Gisele was named the Greenest Celebrity at the Green Awards in London.
