5. Britney Spears – $170 Million
Ok, so most people think of Britney Spears as only a singer/songwriter. Well, that is the basics of what she did do. She was one of the most popular pop singers of the 90’s and early 2000’s, but she kind of went off the deep-end and got into some personal issues that involved stories of her having a breakdown. So for a while, Spears took some time off and wasn’t in limelight for her awesome concerts, performances and videos, but instead, she was in the tabloids for her mental faculties, or lack there of.
Eventually, however, Spears did start to make a comeback, and during that comeback, she took a seat as one of the judges on Simon Cowell’s The X Factor, which technically makes her a reality star. Although a lot of people were pleasantly surprised to see she’d made as strong of a comeback as she did, and was actually entertaining and funny on the show, her and Cowell did not get along. It is reported that she made over $15 million for just the one season she appeared on the show, and overall, she has a net worth of $170 million.
4. Judge Judy – $200 Million

She is brutally honest with her court and it is this brutal truth that keeps people and fans coming back for more. She has some of the highest ratings in TV and has had 13 Daytime Emmy nominations. She thoroughly enjoys what she does, and it shows. As a family court judge, prior to taking her reality TV spot, she has a lot of years of law under her belt and there is no doubt that she would be worth a lot of money in her bank account, seeing that she gets about $47 million per year on her show. Her total net worth today stands to be about $200 M, which is quite a bit more than the Kardashians.
3. Ryan Seacrest – $375 Million
When most people think of Ryan Seacrest, they think of his time on Simon Cowell’s show, American Idol, hosting the show and throwing banter with Cowell. But it didn’t end there.

2. Simon Cowell
