It's cute that you believe Gaga is this powerful to decade whether her albums would get discounted or not, and when exactly.. not that you are far from the truth tho
And the only reason C2C got discounted was because Kenny and Barbra's albums were also discounted
Lady Gaga paid for her GUY video that is more expensive than any of your faves cheap videos, she gave 250k for California charity, she gave 1M for Japan when the Tsunami and eartquake happened, she paid for her MOnster Ball Tour stage etc. she invested a lot in her Born This Way Ball tour stage, she invested a lot for the JUdas and Marry The Night videos...

She has always put most of her money for her music projects.

She has only 1 perfume (2nd just came out) after 6-7 years of being a superstar. Others already have at least 3 perfumes each

It's the simple truth. Gaga doesn't care about money, but she has a lot of them and she uses them right. For Charity and for her music. She just bought a house for the first time in her career, even though she could've done it in 2010. Others have multiple houses etc.

$5 is not a "sizable discount".

And speaking of Gaga, she has backed out of multi-million-dollar deals because the companies she aligned with at the time went back on their word. She also has very few (in comparison to others) large endorsement deals, with her largest to date being with MAC, which was for charity.

Despite how easy it could have been, she's never put her name on a clothing line, jewelry, potato chips, eyelashes, nail polish, etc. She makes enough money from her phenomenal publishing and touring deals.

Taylor.

The money just comes with being Beyonce

Bey's a full blown business woman
Gaga likes the bling
Taylor wants all her coins

Beyoncé, but it's not a bad thing.

Wasn't Rihanna close to top on Forbes earnings while doing nothing worthwile? Clearly money hungry with endorsements.

Taylor is not money hungry. She's success hungry. She loves the idea of business and she wants to be successful and globally known and she wants everyone to recognise the fact she can move a continent if she wants to. She wants to be top of the top.

I don't think she cares as much for the money as she does for the above. I mean, her fortune must be HUGE, even if she stopped making music now and like turnt out to be the exact opposite than what she puts out and bought a new house every day she'd still have a ****load of money which is multiplied every second tbh.

Beyonce is a business woman, she also makes by far the most money compared to others listed. Shes level headed and smart with her finances, not money hingry really, just smart.

she didn't collect anything lol, if some of the money were "collected" it was probably to cover costs of production, this has nothing to do with Gaga as the bracelets were prob some kind of a deal.
She raised and gave more money for Japan than your fave ever did.

Madonna making cheap music with no class and have the balls to go on tour just for the coins and she dont even sing lmao

She has potential though. Her good girl, sweet miss America image is so clean cut she could probably get any endorsement she wants, on top of her obvious mass success that also makes her marketable

She was on the Diamonds World Tour for most of the tracking period (if you're referring to this years list )

Bey and then Katy

Beyonce is probably the most shrewdest businesswoman in pop since Madonna. Not just successful pop stars and icons but bosses.

I'm more of a "music not the bling" fan when it comes to my favs but if building an empire is what an artist aims to do and achieves it then I can't be mad.
