Forbes has recently posted their highest paid entertainers under 30 list, and it's probably no surprise that so many women make up the list. The interesting thing is that so many of them are singers. Here's how much person on the list made in the last year.
1. Taylor Swift - $57 million. Her concerts now bring in about a million a night.
2. Justin Bieber - $55 million. He's also a venture capitalist, with investments in Spotify, Stamped and Tinychat.
3. Rihanna - $53 million. She gets big money from endorsements and sponsorships.
4. Lady Gaga - $52 million. But down from $90 mil last year.
5. Katy Perry - $45 million. Still hot even though her film bombed.
6. Adele - $35 million. 21 is still on the charts and going strong.
7. Kristen Stewart - $34.5 million. Film stars still do make money.
8. Lil Wayne - $27 million. The bulk of his income comes from live shows, earning about $600k per.
9. Taylor Lautner - $26.5 million. Twilight was bigger than we thought.
10. Robert Pattinson - $26.5 million. Again, Twilight was far bigger than we thought.
It should be no surprise that the audience for most of those on the list was teen and pre-teenage girls. What is a surprise is how much spendable cash they have.
