Madonna on Forbes’ Top-Earning Women in Music 2012 list

Dec12

Madonna on Forbes’ Top-Earning Women in Music 2012 list

1. Britney Spears – $58 million
2. Taylor Swift – $57 million
3. Rihanna – $53 million
4. Lady Gaga – $52 million
5. Katy Perry – $45 million
6. Beyonce – $40 million
7. Adele – $35 million
8. Sade – $33 million
9. Madonna – $30 million
10. Shakira – $20 million

The figures represent earnings from May 2011 to May 2012, before subtracting management fees, legal costs and taxes (which together can eat up the bulk of a big payday). The totals were compiled with the help of data from Pollstar, RIAA and others, in addition to interviews with managers, lawyers and concert promoters.

Why only 30 mil? Are they adding the interest from her vast art collection? Our Queen has made more than this, this is just anti-Madonna bias in the media!
Ronald Rodriguez

Wow! She should top the list next year!

Shouldn’t Justin Bieber be on this list?? Oh, wait, he’s not a woman yet….just a teenaged girl.

Dear Madonna fans( my friends from miles away), Lets be glad that Madonna continue to do what she does and let us enjoy her work like we always have. The media these days amount to nothing. They calculate, speculate and report everything wrong.
That is why the world is in its current state. They did not report everything about Iraq war, do you think that they care
about reporting Madonna’s income accurately? I don’t think so. It doesn’t even matter anymore. At this point Madonna is far
above and beyond them. She has done everything and still doing everything. People like Madonna will always be relevant, they will always be looked at with envy and respect at the same time. To me the name Madonna alone far exceeds all the britneys and gagas put together. Madonna´s cultural impact will be felt generation after generation. We can´t say that for the wannabees.

  Do you know how to read or what ? It’s between may 2011 and may 2012. The MDNA Tour starts in May 31, 2012. So the tour is not includes in the total gross. The 30 million she gots is from her movie W.E. and some publicities.
Brent S

Forbes has been news-bashing her for more than a year now. How ridiculously inaccurate. The tour played only one show in May. They probably calculated this on purpose to exclude the megabucks M will get from MDNA.
Blah Person

why even post this here? this is misleading at its best!
L4jo1e

Guys don’t forget this is between may 2011 and may 2012, all before the MDNA release and the MDNA Tour gross revenues. So she makes 30 millions only with W.E. and some publicities.
I tow the line

Wow! Madonna is barely doing anything and she’s still in the top 10. Next time they estimate this, Maddy should be on the top with hundreds of millions of profit.

  right! she will be on top of the list next year.
K

I don’t know why they release old date which is mostly from the year before and mark it as the data for this year.

Is this supposed to be news?
Alex

Something is wrong here!
puffy_princess_hush_guppy

Sade made more money than Madonna? am I missing something here?

  Sade was on tour most of 2011. They didn’t include the money M made during MDNA Tour
