Shakira 53.2 million gross with 51 shows.

If you add the her 2010 numbers she should be around 85-90 million.

I don't think that's what that ratio means.

But look at the average ticket price

June-May.

Which means all of the Loud Tour money will be in it and most of Reb'l Fleur's sales which is the best selling new celebrity fragrance of 2011. It would be heart wrenching if she misses out now that she has all that stuff going for her. She's the Most friend female singer on Facebook, and one of the most popular on Twitter. She does great on the web and all that which Forbes factor in. I think she has a good chance getting into the top 20 next year, we can only hope for top 10.

And reading through this thread, dposton should be banned. That was uncalled for. The ONE time, someone has nice to say about Rih your insecurity got the best of you. Pity.

I'm mad she didn't to be honest.

$90 million is still great, though, and I better not hear anyone say her tours are flops anymore.

Forbes does matter. It's just when people attempt to use it as evidence in support or in dispute of an artist's musical relevancy that it doesn't matter.

Yas.
The queen/

Flop Fatale? I dont think so

They sure done their extensive research on Britney's tour dates.

Top female act.

Shakira / 51 show = 53.2 Millons
Lady Gaga / 39 show = 96.77 Millons

The Queens!

&

U2 / 35 shows = 231.9 Millons
Take That / 35 shows = 224 Millons

Kings

Fixed.

Well done Katy. On her first World wide Headlining Tour.

Nice numbers for Rihanna, Taylor and GaGa.

Everyone Did Very Well.

But Rihanna does not get all the 180M.
Gaga was the most earning celebrity this year, not Rihanna. How, if apparently she made so much money?

Forbes is not just about the money anymore, though.

Forbes Top 100 Celebrity has NEVER been about only the money. It was also a formula they used, where money is just one factor. It has ALWAYS been like that.

if you knew anything youd know that Rihanna's #'s will be for next year.

Really impressed by Rihanna numbers!!! amazing!!
Gaga ******** on her lessors as always

and sorry but Britney numbers are bad , this era was a total fiasco for her

IKR, number 11 and 69 million is so so bad. Also three billboard top 10's and 9 million singles sold worldwide is such a joke. No wonder she didn't leave her own state to promote. It's so embarrassing.

-3 top10 hits with mediocre sales comparing to the huge airplay they had....and which by the way totally flopped World Wide (except in France), and she never sold 9 millions singles this year
-Disapointing album sales in the US and a total flop overseas
-Mediocre grossing tour for THE QUEEN OF POP

Now you can leave........
