you argue about albums sales, tour gross and movies BO. you're not above it
Well if I pay for something and it does well then it's different than me arguing about Perra getting millions for her lipstick or a stupid game I never downloaded.
WE are consumers of those movies, music and tour tickets. We don't even get to see that money. It's not the same thing
how is it not the same thing to compare dc/marvel BO and katy/taylor/gaga money? at the end of the day, we are never seeing the money. neither movies OR music.
People dragging FadGa for not succeeding at something Must have been a slow news day.
Anyway, if you drag a pop star for not making *this much* money in a year which is probably still more than you make in your lifetime unless you're on a 100k WINNING TEAM... I find it worrying.

+ people that stan for Fad del Remix (that has never made the Forbes list) trying to come for anybody... WHEW.
This was supposed to be the year of Gaga—the time when the Queen Monster regained her throne after a self-imposed quiet period. Instead, Miley Cyrus twerked her way into the spotlight this summer, Lorde dominated the airwaves this fall, and Beyoncé shocked the world as much any superstar could with her surprise album earlier this month.
Gaga’s highly-anticipated album, however, got lukewarm reviews from many critics even though it was actually not that bad. Worse yet, it failed to generate anywhere near the buzz of the aforementioned trio. For an artist who’s all about buzz, that’s a problem. From a business perspective, so is her recent split with tech-savvy manager Troy Carter.
Still, Gaga is one of the top-earning acts in the world and has millions of incredibly loyal fans. Even if some don’t care for ARTPOP, she has built a fairly extensive catalogue of hits to go with her considerable talents as a performer—and shouldn’t have trouble filling up arenas when she hits the road this spring. That could make 2014 quite a lot better for her than 2013.

Quote:
Gaga played 24, significantly more but nowhere close to her totals during her top earning years. There’s a bit more reason for concern here. Though fans loved ARTPOP, it didn’t achieve the sort of mainstream acclaim her previous efforts did. The ensuing tour grossed $83 million over 74 performances; on the surface, that’s a comparable per-show rate to the $227 million she took in over 200 dates starting in November 2009–but that total included a period before she had achieved peak popularity.

Lady Gaga may not have beaten her old rival Katy Perry for the spot of highest-paid musician in 2015, but with a paycheck of $59 million, she doesn’t have all that much to be concerned about. Gaga continued to do what she is best known for over the past year by continually surprising her audience with brave music choices. In September 2014, she released Cheek to Cheek, an album of jazz standards performed as duets with Tony Bennett, and brought songs that most of her young fans had never heard back to popular consciousness. To promote the grammy-winning album, Gaga and Bennett went on a world tour, playing 66 shows during our scoring period and continuing in Europe this summer.
