Forbes List: 2014 Richest Female Musicians by Frankenstein: 1:11pm On Nov 05, 2014 |
Forbes has released its list of highest paid women in music and amazingly some of the women and what they worth will shock you. According to the list, 33-year-old Beyoncé Knowles Carter is the highest paid woman in music in 2014. With over $115million income this year alone, which is way more than double of what she pulled in last year, the beautiful woman has topped Forbes’ list. Her high turnover this year was said to have been gotten from her world tour, made her to move from fourth place last year, putting her firmly ahead of 24-year-old pop star Taylor Swift, who came in 2nd with $64 million. Pop singer Pink, 35, stepped up from No. 8 in 2013 to third with $52 million. ‘Beyonce played 95 shows during our scoring period, bringing in an average of $2.4 million per city,‘ said Forbes, citing data from the Pollstar trade magazine. The R&B singer’s self-titled album released last December and endorsement deals pushed her earnings up further assuring her the top spot. However, Barbados-born Rihanna, 26, came in 4th with $48 million and Katy Perry, 30, who earned an estimated $40 million, ranked 5th. Madonna, 56, who ranked No. 1 last year, failed to make the top 10 in 2014. Lady Gaga, 28, slumped from No. 2 in 2013 to ninth place this year with estimated earnings of $33 million. Forbes compiled the list after estimating pre-tax income calculated for the 12 months from June 2013 to 2014 based on record sales, concert tickets, touring information merchandise sales and interviews with concert promoters, lawyers and managers. It also looked at data from the Pollstar, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and tracking firm Nielsen SoundScan. In 2009, Beyonce told Forbes of her work ethic: ‘Like everyone else, you work really hard and you want it to be great; you want your friends to like it, What makes me feel comfortable is practice and knowing I’m prepared.’ It would be recalled that just recently, Beyonce’s dad, Mathew Knowles’ second baby mama who is a former lingerie model, Taqoya Brancomb revealed she was indeed sleeping with the superstar’s dad despite having knowledge that he was married. http://www.naij.com/317218-beyonce-tops-2014-list-of-top-earning-women-in-music.html |
