I wonder how much each member from one direction gets out of that 130 million.

[wesleywalrus]

How the hell did Katy make that much? Damn. That's so impressive.

Easy on it.

This is worth a look. It is a related article from Forbes, that goes through the relevent tracking period for this list chronologically and follows Taylor, 1D and Katy on their tours. It shows where they performed and has tweets/info about each concert during the tracking period. It is well done.

So their tracking period is from June 1st to May 31st it seems. According to that:

Katy had 124 shows (all from Prismatic World Tour)
1D had 76 shows (53 from Where We Are Tour; 23 from On The Road Again Tour)
Taylor had 12 shows (6 from Red Tour; 5 from 1989 World Tour + Rock In Rio USA)

Quite surprising that with all those stadiums they played within the tracking period 1D still fell short of Katy's arena tour. Guess touring isnt the end all be all of success in the music industry

[Yooorsh]

Katy!!

She earned a lot of money despite she spent a lot of money to appear on the Superbowl Halftime

[JoaoP]

I didnt know who the first 2 guys were and I went to check... Just found out one is 1,73m and the other 1,66m

tragic

Slay Katy

[Deemy]

Katy must be investing her coins in something.

Damn white people in general are so smart with money.

IKR. Katy is a very smart businesswoman, like i'm really impressed.. Madonna didnt even earn that much and she has a $100m more than Katy. Katy really took all that money and didnt let people do the stuff for her that's why there's a lot for her after the tour and she wasnt left with crumbs

I think Katy's money is not only coming from touring tho. She is probably getting big coins from music sales and endorsements. As far as i know Madonna is truly involved in the making of her tours and she owns a stake in the company that she tours with (Live Nation) or at least that's what i've been told. Im not really sure, but i truly believe that Madonna keeps more money from touring than most of our faves!

wait Rih isn't even here even after that joint Eminem tour and the 3 singles from R8 she released? omgggg and the lowest income is like $20m, did she not make enough?

[LoKoPaNdA]

Yes Katy

Why are 1D, Maroon 5 and Foo Fighters counted together, imo each person should be counted separately. Beter yet I propose the pop girls make a girl group and take the top position from those boxers

[Bastian]

Where Bieber? Minaj? Rihanna? Maroon5 ?Adele?

[QueenBeyoncé]

Bey $54.5M from 20 a date tour, which she had to split the earnings

How did Tiesto make $36M
He didn't have a smash song or album

He produced music and playing in clubs, at festivals,... is like performing gigs.
