Though her latest album, MDNA, was a flop- Madonna sold fewer than 1 million copies of MDNA in the U.S. But the tour that the Material Girl launched to go along with her new album was a spectacular success.
The tour grossed $305 million and earned her the Top Touring Award at the Billboard Music Awards. Add to that strong merchandise sales, a clothing line, fragrance and investments in companies like Vita Coco and Madonna tops the list of the Highest Earning Celebrities. It is estimated the pop star brought in $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
Madonna’s success, at age 55, just goes to show the incredible power of a successful music career.
Ranking 2nd on the list with $100 million is Steven Spielberg. The director earned an estimated $100 million between June 2011 and June 2012. Most of that money comes from his extensive library. Hit movies like E.T. and Jurassic Park are always playing on TV somewhere in the world. Last year’s Lincoln was a critical and financial hit earning $275 million on a budget of $65 million.
