Trey Parker is, along with Matt Stone, one half of the comedy duo responsible for creating 'South Park'. So how could he be on the list here without his comedy partner when their success is so linked? Maybe we'll get to that later in the list, and maybe we won't. Stay tuned.
'South Park' is still going strong today, 21 years after the first episode hit television, and is a gargantuan franchise. Not stopping there, Parker has continued to work with Stone on movies like 'BASEketball' and 'Team America: World Police', which generated huge sums at the box office. His musical comedy 'Book of Mormon' also brings in money on an industrial scale; it still tours around the world today, and so far, has brought in over $500m in ticket sales and merchandising. Parker is a gifted musician, with many of the songs in his shows being his own creation, earning him further royalty payments.

Celeb spotting is a favorite pastime of many travelers, and you might be able to snag a photo or even an autograph when you visit these top celebrity vacation spots around the world.

One of the classiest celebrity vacation spots in Europe is Mallorca, Spain. It’s known as a spot to be posh more than a spot to party.

Saint Tropez is known for its amazing beaches and blissful landscapes. Celebrity couples like Beyoncé and Jay Z and David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted vacationing along these famous beaches. The Cote d’Azur seaport is a big draw for celebs here, as well as top beach clubs like Club 55.
Perhaps the most well-known celebrity that loves Lake Como is George Clooney. He has a villa with over a dozen rooms here so he can bring all his friends along to relax, get away, and party. Villa d’Este is another popular place celebrities choose to stay because of its attention to privacy. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bette Midler, or Sylvester Stallone!
Sure, there are plenty of celebrities that call Sydney home year-around, but there are lots of others who like to visit for a surfing and sailing getaway.
