New York, NY -- If you think you make a decent salary, consider this: Dead celebrity Marilyn Monroe raked in $8 million last year.

Even crazier, the thoroughbred horse which won the Kentucky Derby last year pulled in $2 million, according to "Parade magazine's" annual survey of what people earn.

If you believe the statistics in the survey, the gap between stars and regular Joes just keeps getting bigger. For instance, while Simon Cowell was earning $2.3 million dressing down the wannabe singers on "American Idol," Mallie Clark, a singer from Florida, made just $30,000.

Other stars and their salaries...

- Hoops star Kobe Bryant pulled in a whopping $13.5 million last year.

- Anna Nicole Smith made $1 million.

- TV judge Judy Scheindlin took home a $25 million salary, while Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg made $190,100.

- Finally, Donald Trump is the top earner in the poll with $100 million.
