How is wearing a meat costume helpful to earn 100M / top Forbes etc. ?

I stan Taylor, but let's not, Lady Gaga in 2010 was twice as big as Taylor now, Gaga sold more albums in 2010 alone than Taylor in any year (taylor has never sold 7M+ albums in a single year right ? Correct me if I'm wrong) and Gaga had Bad Romance and Telephone that year both bigger than SIO and Bad Blood + she had her monster ball tour, Tay's tour is bigger, but TMBT was Gaga's first headlining tour
Gaga did it all on her own, just like Taylor now, so don't.
Anyway congrats to Taylor, I wasn't surprised at all, however this kind of confirms that Taylor won't be topping forbes this year, right ?

Then I guess it will be Katy or someone else..
