Forbes' Highest-Earning Celebrity Under 30: Who’s on top of the List?
Forbes released their annual list of the highest-earning celebrities under 30. And we can't belieb it! It's Lady Gaga, not (*cue Nicki Minaj voice*) Just-in Bie-ber who tops the chart.
According to Forbes, Gaga raked in $80 million (86.1 million AUD), thanks for the most part for her tour.
The global tour dialed up $168 million (180.8 million AUD) before a hip damage slowed down Mother Monster. Forbes estimates that it could have earned more than $200 million (215.24 million AUD).
For the meantime, Gaga is preparing for the realease of her new album "#ARTPOP". So, between the album and the inevitable world tour that will follow, this 27-year-old singer will surely add more gold doubloons to her already gigantic pile.
But Beliebers do not have to worry as Justin Bieber earned $58 million (62.42 million AUD). A large part of this savings have been put into investments for big-name start-ups such as Spotify.
Forbes also admits that Justin may have cleared even more this year but that they added a double-digit million dollar advance for a merchandising deal to last year's tally. But $58 million (62.42 million AUD) is not bad for a 19-year-old singer.
Here is the rest of the list:
- Taylor Swift -$55 million
- Calvin Harris-$46 million
- Rihanna- $43 million
- Katy Perry- $39 million
- Adele-$25 million
- Jennifer Lawrence- $26 million
- Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner- $22 million
- Drake- $20 million
