Beyoncé pulled a fast one on the world this month when she digitally dropped her self-titled new album with absolutely no prior warning. The collection of songs debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts and quickly became one of the most acclaimed releases of the year.

Robert Downey Jr. was the only star to tie with her, raking in $50 million for the third Iron Man movie.

George Clooney followed close behind with $40 for his Nespresso ads.

Beyonce and her father Mathew Knowles parted ways in 2011 after he was part of her management team for several years.
