Tyler Perry heads a very special list, one that includes nine other A-list celebrities.

Perry tops this year’s list of the highest paid ten men in the entertainment business, as compiled by Forbes magazine.

As Forbes says in its introduction to the list, "In Hollywood, actors like Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp get most of the attention but they aren’t necessarily the ones who are making the most money. Just check out our list of Entertainment’s Highest-Paid Men. Only two of the ten men on our list are actors and one of those actors earns most of his money as a writer/director/producer."

In REVERSE ORDER, here’s the list, along with how much money Forbes says each one made between May 2010 and May 2011:

10. Tiger Woods………$75 million

9. Howard Stern………..$76 million

8. Leonardo DiCaprio..$77 million

7. Dr. Phil McGraw……$80 million

6. James Patterson…..$89 million

5. Simon Cowell……….$90 million

4. Elton John……………$100 million

3. Steven Spielberg….$107 miilion

2. Jerry Bruckheimer…$113 million

1. Tyler Perry…………..$130 million
