In total, there are 30 names in it, but we present the top 10 young rich people of 2017.

In 2017, Rory came in second in the FedEx Cup, and we should expect his earnings to be modest in the next ranking.

The Weeknd is number six on the 100 list.
Collectively, the top 30 highest-paid celebrities under 30 earned $1.24 billion before taxes and fees between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017.
Due in part to the preponderance of professional athletes, the overall list of the world's highest paid young stars is wildly unbalanced, with 84% of the list being male.
