but that is taking into account the tour too.

8M album copies x 10$ = 80M $ + Lets say 20M singles sold = 100M $ from music sales.

+

200M $ from the tour

= 300M $

+ lets say sponsorships + merchandising = 422M $

But... it selling 8M copies..... uhummm

Exactly. She had dozens of commercial deals at the time and sold tons of merch.

nothing

gagas not even credited for the DVD / blu-ray / 2 disc live cd

OT congrats i guess

Madonna paid everytime she performed the smash hit Born This Way. Every single time.

OT:

Congrats I guess. Imagine how much 25 and 1989 generated

nnn

Queen of making royalties

this number was inflated by the lady suing her to try and maximise the money she wanted to claim, obviously

8 million your fave simply couldn't

Not a penny. In fact madonna was paying royalties to gaga for performing born this way on her mdna tour
Queen supporting queen I suppose.

$444,000 in total just for ONE co-producer (DJWS). So probably the same to the other producer (Fernando Garibay). Basically, in total around a million dollars.

OT: Wow that's a lot! And to think Gaga barely gets a portion of that and the majority goes to Interscope.

Slay mom!
