One can forgive him for the victory dance. Since his debut three years ago Bieber has sold 15 million albums, grossing $150 million on 157 tour dates across two dozen countries along the way. His biopic, Never Say Never, pulled in $30 million on its opening weekend, just shy of the concert-film record, and racked up $100 million at the box office in total. His fragrance, Someday, debuted last June and did $60 million in retail sales during its first six months on the market. Those income streams helped Bieber personally earn an estimated $55 million over the past 12 months. and $108 million over the past two years.
Lady Gaga in the top 5 with no tour, no movie deals, no clothing lines, no perfume lines, no high profile ad campaigns. The one with the most opportunity for growth.
Perfume!!!!! Where are you perfume?? I've been waiting for you for 2 years.
The highest paid judge. The best selling perfumes.
The world's greatest musical comeback with one hit single only and no tour, beat out both Mariah and Ricky's comebacks.
etc.....
She's been the highest paid actress, singer years ago so I'm not surprised if she's still at least one of the highest paid actresses and singers this year and the highest paid latin singer and actress like usual.
Britney ranking 6th and being the highest paid female musician of the year 13 years into her career during her "flop" era all while excluding her X-Factor deal.
Gaga still did great considering she didn't tour. Watch her top Forbes next year thanks to the gross slayage BTW Ball will do once it's all finsihed.
@ Rihanna placing higher than Beyonce. After all the times they tried it.
