Noticeably absent was Kim Kardashian West.
Forbes estimated her earnings at 28 million as of June 2014
Quote:
The queen of famous-for-being-famous, Kardashian raked in far more than her equally camera-ready sisters this year, mostly thanks to a bigger payday for public appearances. She also ensured her name remains in the headlines, marrying rapper Kanye West in a typically lavish Italian ceremony. She's also a mom, but that hasn't stopped her endorsing products ranging from clothing to fake tan and appearing on two E! network reality shows.

So that means Kim is the second highest paid tv actress and Lena Dunham falls off the list. Forbes didn't include her because they are jealous and pale. Discuss.
