Our inaugural Forbes Top Creators list is live and showcases the 50 social superstars leveraging a combined 1.9 billion followers across social networks to earn $570 million in 2021. To build our first-ever Top Creators list, Forbes reporters—with help and insight from creator agency, Influential—judged thousands of influencers (folks who launched their careers on social media) on three critical metrics: earnings, clout, and entrepreneurship. The end result: 50 unlikely celebrities charting the future of entertainment, and advertising.
