I don't know to be honest.
I kept deciding, and then arguing with myself because another one was better.
I think Religion and Fast Food would be 5 and 6 on that list.
Entertainment is a bit vague/broad - Gambling and sport are entertainment too. So I assume entertainment means movies/music et al
Also - biggest money spinner for who? If it's for the individual, then sport is up there with the multi million dollar contracts some sports people get.

That could fall under entertainment, as it entertains alot of us men and some women.

Entertainment could encompass Movies,TV and I guess Sport and Gambling.
Im not looking at any individual Diss,just a broad based 'generalisation' comment.I think Religion would be a huge money spinner world wide.

Drugs (illegal & legal) and Arms are definitely right up there.
Porn industry in the US makes more than Hollywood.

The so-called 'War on Terror' (Oil?)
So I'd have to say the World's biggest money spinner is
'Fear & Ignorance'
