Other | Wednesday 20th November 2013 | damian
Madonna proves that age is nothing but a number. Speaking of numbers, the zeroes in her bank account seem to never stop growing as she lands atop Forbes Highest-paid Musicians list, above superstars such as Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. Madonna generated over £77m from her MDMA world tour, merchandise, various clothing lines and perfume brands. She shows her affinity for trend-spotting in popular culture and her influence on consumers by continuing to shape the fashion goods business in her image. Other income sources such as royalties for recorded music and endorsement deals are also taken into consideration and the total revenue is pre-tax, offcourse. Below is the list of the 10 top-grossing artists of the year:
