Floyd Mayweather Jr. took the top prize with pre-tax earnings of $300 million, while Manny Pacquiao came in second with $160 million, both thanks to their record-breaking fight in May.

Perry took third place on the Forbes list, for making $135 million in the past 12 months, and the spot earned her the issue's cover as well as the title of America's top pop expert according to the magazine. The gentlemen of One Direction came in at fourth place with $130 million between them, while Taylor Swift came in at No. 9.
