It’s no surprise that celebrities make a whole lot more than the Average Joe and Jane. But how much more?

According to Parade’s “What People Earn” issue, a lot more.

Justin Bieber pulled in a staggering $55 million in 2012. The sum includes album sales, touring and two women’s fragrances. This means the teen superstar made $6,261 an hour last year.

The magazine’s annual list includes other star salaries, including Bieber’s musical contemporary Taylor Swift who made a whopping $57 million, making her the third highest-paid woman in entertainment behind Oprah Winfrey and Britney Spears.

Even though Brad Pitt starred in a stinker of a perfume ad, he took home $35.5 million last year. The actor netted $7 million in the Chanel commercial alone.

Sofia Vergara took home $21 million through her hit show “Modern Family,” her Kmart fashion line and campaigns with CoverGirl and Pepsi. That’s a lot of money for diapers. As Page Six revealed today, the bombshell is planning for a baby via surrogate with her fiancé Nick Loeb.

Anne Hathaway earned $10 million last year after starring in hits like “The Dark Knight Rises” and “Les Miserables.” According to Parade, that means each pound of the 25-pounds she lost for her Oscar-winning role in “Les Miz” put another $160,000 in her bank.

Patriots QB Tom Brady netted $23 million last year. The mag reported that he and his supermodel wife Gisele put that money towards a $20 million home in Los Angeles—with a moat.
