Madonna may look silly with her youth obsession but you gotta give props to the Material girl for her ability to make millions. This year, she is ranked by Forbes Magazine as the top earning musician as she reportedly made US$110 million from her “Sticky & Sweet Tour,” concert tour and from her 11th studio album, Hard Candy.
Here’s the rest of the Top Twelve highest earning singer/musician list for the period spanning from June 2008 to June 2009:
1. Madonna: $110 million
2. Celine Dion: $100 million
3. Beyonce Knowles: $87 million
4. Bruce Springsteen: $70 million
5. Kenny Chesney: $65 million
6-8. Rascal Flatts: $60 million
6-8. Coldplay: $60 million
6-8. AC/DC: $60 million
9. Eagles: $55 million
10. Toby Keith: $52 million
11. Bon Jovi: $50 million
12. Dave Matthews Band: $45 million
Wow. We’re so glad to see the Eagles, a band we’ve enjoyed listening to since the early 90s, in that list. Good for you, oldies. By the way, this list made use wonder about where American Idol alumni winners stand in the scheme of things. Do you think some of them have a chance of cracking the top 12? Or will more established singers like Madonna and Bon Jovi continue to rule?
