Gaga tops young rich list in Forbes
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 25 July 2013
Lady Gaga may have been forced to cancel her touring activities earlier this year due to a wonky hip, but don’t worry, she was still the biggest earning celebrity under 30 in the last twelve months.
And by quite a long way. Ha, take that Bieber. Look at you, struggling there on the meagre $58 million you earned this year. Perhaps you should learn to use the toilet, then your career might properly take off.
Anyway, Forbes has published its latest list of people who appear in the middle of the Venn diagram of being celebrated, youthful and very, very wealthy. The popstars dominate, as do the ladies. Gaga tops the poll, Justin Bieber comes in second, and a certain Calvin Harris does his rich bit for us Brits. Well done him.
Anyway, here’s the top ten with estimated last year earnings in brackets. The dollar-to-pound conversions come courtesy of the BBC, so if you find any errors, write a Daily Mail opinion piece about it.
Lady Gaga – $80 million (£52 million)
Justin Bieber – $58m (£38m)
Taylor Swift – $55m (£36m)
Calvin Harris – $46m (£30m)
Rihanna – $43m (£28m)
Katy Perry – $39m (£25m)
Jennifer Lawrence $26m (£17m)
Adele – $25m (£16m)
Kristen Stewart – $22m (£14m)
Taylor Lautner – $22m (£14m)
