SHE’S ONE OF the world’s most famous women, and she also has a pretty hefty bank balance.
Madonna has been named as number one on Forbes’ list of highest-paid musicians, having earned $125 million in the past year.
Just behind Madge is Lady Gaga, who earned a not insubstantial $80 million this year – her tour grossed $168 million, even though it had to be cancelled due to a hip injury.

Earning a cool $79 million in 2013 put Bon Jovi in third place, proving that, like Madonna, it’s not just the young bucks raking in the cash.
The band’s tour grossed over $3 million per city. Not too shabby.

This cowboy-hatted crooner pulled in $65 million this year. Yee haw!

Coldplay earned $64 million in 2013, meaning frontman Chris Martin and wife Gwyneth Paltrow can now enjoy even more organic kale juice and wholesome goop. Peace out.
