Thus making her the top earner of the year in Hollywood. Talent, it wins.
Quote:
Taylor Swift is only 26, but when the annual “What People Earn” list of celebrities came out, it was Taylor who topped them all, even Jay Z and Leonardo DiCaprio. Swift took home $80 million in the past year, reported Us Weekly.
The Midas touch comes from hard work, however. The singer sold out on her world tour and achieved a wide range of business partnerships, including Coca-Cola and Apple. And Swift isn’t done with those deals, because fans can look for her mobile game to roll out later in 2016.
It’s not only her bank account that shows how successful Taylor has become. She also won three Grammy Awards (Best Music Video, Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year).
Other high earners of the past 12 months: Gordon Ramsay - $60 million Lady Gaga - $59 million Jay-Z - $56 million Judge Judy - $47 million Leonardo DiCaprio - $29 million
