Lady Gaga is the richest woman in music

According to Forbes, Lady Gaga is the top-earning woman in music in 2011. She made $90 million this year, thanks largely in part to her Monster Ball tour.

At the No. 2 spot on Forbes’ list is Taylor Swift, who earned $45 million in the last year. Katy Perry came in at No. 3 with $44 million while Adele took the No. 5 slot with $18 million.
These numbers reflect each musician’s earnings between May 2010 and May 2011– so basically when Gaga was running around the globe on her Monster Ball tour. Also in the top ten: Beyonce ($35 million), Rihanna ($29 million), Pink ($22 million), Carrie Underwood ($20 million), Celine Dion ($19 million) and Britney Spears, who tied with Alicia Keys ($10 million).

U2 was also named the overall top-earning music act, with $195 million netted in one single year.
