Lady Gaga Tops Forbes Highest Earners Under 30 List, taylor alison swift

Forbes have released their annual list of top-earning celebrities under the age of 30 and Lady Gaga is sitting pretty at the top, with the Poker Face
singer taking home the top honour with her $80 million earnings between June 2012 and June 2013.
Gaga would earned even more if she’d been able to finish her Born This Way
tour, which was cut short when the 27-year-old underwent hip surgery for a labral tear. Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, didn’t let her injury keep her down, though – she continued to make appearances in a custom-made 24-karat gold plated wheelchair.
Justin Bieber‘s not far behind in the second position, with the 19 year old earning $58 million, collecting another 20 million Twitter followers and having stakes in start-up companies like Enflick, Tinychat and Spotify. Taylor Swift is hot on his heels in third position, earning $55 million, with her album Red
selling 1.2 million copies in its first week alone.
Musicians and women dominate the list, with 7 of the top 10 being female, including Rihanna at number 5, who’s played more than 40 shows in the last year and earned $43 million, and Katy Perry at number 6, who took home $39 million, in part thanks to her 2012 biopic Part Of Me
.

Taylor Swift Tops List Of Music’s Biggest Earners

Billboard
have unveiled their annual rich list, seeing country music star and crossover pop queen Taylor Swift come out on top as music’s top earner in 2013. Swift had a huge 2013, with promoter Michael Gudinski calling her, “the first girl to fill stadiums since I did Madonna over 20 years ago.”
The 24-year-old Swift earned over $44 million last year, surpassing veterans like Paul McCartney and The Eagles. Artists’ tallies are based on Nielsen data as well as Billboard
‘s own figures, which show that more than $33 million of Swift’s earnings came from ticket sales for her Red tour.
Swift’s tour revenues were higher than any other artist on the planet, with the rest of her earnings coming from physical album sales and being the fifth highest earner for streaming royalties and sixth for downloads. Merchandise and sponsorships were not tallied, but netted her another $11 million.
It pays to be a country star, with the number two spot taken out by Tennessee singer Kenny Chesney ($36,529,685), while pop country star Luke Bryan came in at number eight ($24,544,667), and fellow country kings Jason Aldean and George Strait both made appearances in the top 20.
The highest earning non-country star was Justin Timberlake at number three with earnings of $36,529,685, while the highest ranking band was The Rolling Stones at number five. Beyonce was the highest-paid female pop star after Swift and hubby Jay-Z, the highest earning hip-hop artist.
