In the past year, Justin Bieber made $58 million, Taylor Swift made $55 million and Elton John made $53 million but according to Forbes the biggest earner was non other than Madonna who raked in a sweet $125 million from her sold out MDNA world tour which had a total gross of $305 million. Coming in right behind Madge is Lady Gaga who took home $80 million thanks to her world tour gross of $160 million.
“With touring being the biggest revenue stream, if there’s an opportunity for an artist to go out, if there’s an opportunity for a promoter to curate a festival, people are doing it, said Kevin Liles, founder of KWL Enterprises and manager of artists including Big Sean, Trey Songz and Young Jeezy.source›› Forbes
