FORBES CELEBRITY 100
Celebrity is the ultimate asset. In this frantic age of nanosecond attention spans, fame is fortune--not just for the pampered stars but also for the businesses that bank on them. Forbes begin by totaling up the top earners in 14 different categories, then factor in media attention and other metrics of fame. That's why Tom Cruise--though he ranks a mere 13 in pay--is number one when magazine covers, media mentions and Internet presence are also tallied.
Metallica ranked on 18 in the total, and 3rd in the internet hits category. 18 is hight as they did not tour or release any albums last year. in 2000 they made $28 mil, while in 1999 they earned $42 millions. I would be happy with the half.
