From Kim Kardashian to Rihanna, meet the only 8 Hollywood A-listers who are billionaires

Forbes' World's Billionaires List compiles the documented net worths of billionaires around the globe and their sources of wealth. There are 2,668 billionaires on this year's list — and only eight of them are Hollywood stars.

To create the list, Forbes said it interviews sources and asks billionaires for documentation of their assets. Private and public stakes in businesses are also taken into account when calculating net worth.

In 2019, Forbes' list generated a wave of controversy when it named Kylie Jenner — of Kardashian family fame and wealth — the world's youngest self-made billionaire. Forbes later retracted its claim that Jenner was worth a billion dollars and lowered its estimate of her wealth to be closer to $900 million.

Keep reading for a look at the only eight Hollywood A-listers who made the billionaires list in 2022. Entrants are arranged from least to most wealthy.
