Winning: Madonna Tops Forbes Top-Earning Celebrities 2013 List

Published: Tuesday 27th Aug 2013 by Sam

All hail the Queen!

Madonna may be 55-year-old, but she’s proving that not only is she one of the world’s top performers, she’s the most bankable.

Forbes have unveiled their list of The Top-Earning Celebrities 2013, with the original Material Girl coming out on top.

Find out why after the jump…

Madonna Mania has subsided on the charts (hello, ‘MDNA’), but the icon is still achieving career heights on the touring front.

According to Forbes, the diva’s recent Billboard honoured ‘MDNA Tour’ grossed a whopping $305 million at the box office, which when placed alongside strong merchandise sales, a clothing line, fragrance and investments in companies such as Vita Coco, sees the singer’s earnings in the ball park of $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013.

The figure represents Madge’s highest-ever annual earnings in the history of Forbes’ Celebrity 100 list; the closest she came was in 2009 when she racked in $110 million.

**************

Madonna, as the numbers attest, is more than an artist…she is an industry. More power to her!

  3. POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

    The Biggest Female Artist Ever!

    But I remember ‘Forbes’ Used to hate her, Why the sudden change ? 😉

    Madonna Knows What she’s Doing, She’s the Best. 😀

    • iconic cici August 27, 2013

      Lol look at this ass licker!

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

        Look at this Salivating T***** following Every Step i take.

      • iconic cici August 27, 2013

        Yet you wrote on my s*** first b**** be gone im over you

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

        you are ?

        What ?

        Over Me ?

        I’m Mind F****** You Orgy Style with them other Hungry b****** Down-stairs. 😆

        Come Suck my d*** and drink the c**, H**, it has antidepressants you should know, is a Win-Win.

    • MuiMui August 27, 2013

      Forbes had to back track because they was wrong and people got tired of it and spoke up about it. They had listed a list and did not even have her name on the line up, they know that was wrong. Kind of reminds me of how they do one of my Faves who does well and they often times seem to forget ,trying to keep others lifted up so dam hard.
      If the have a slide rule they go by and its good enough for the goose then…it should be good enough for the Gander, in other use the same rule of thumb for all of them.

      • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

        They Couldn’t Ignore the Truth Anymore, LOL. 😆

  4. iconic cici August 27, 2013

    Madonna overrated to the Max she cant sing can hardly dance… She aint got s*** on Janet!

    • MuiMui August 27, 2013

      And Madonna is all of that and She is still paid. And since your Fave has got it all on the ball as you claim,then where is their paper for their hard work.

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

      Where’s Janet’s “JNT” Tour Though ?

    • Common Sense August 27, 2013

      If Madonna can’t sing then Janet can’t even hum; let’s be real.

      • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 27, 2013

        Janet can’t sing but she has better music than Madonna!

      • Absolved August 27, 2013

        Apparently you haven’t heard Janet’s last 3 albums. They’re about as musical as the sound of static cling.

    • Absolved August 27, 2013

      “She aint got s*** on Janet!”

      …except more hits, more album sales, more tour receipts, more overall success and more money.

      Instead of worrying about Madonna, who could buy and sell you and everyone in your illegally downloaded music collection, why don’t you go watch a Ciara video on YT 100 times to help it peak at #56 or something. It’s free. Since it’s obvious that Ciara’s 10 pretend fans aren’t interested in actually spending any of money on her.

      • Fierce & all -Not here for b****** that can only slay in studios August 27, 2013

        Honey I don’t like Madonna’s music. That’s just me.

  5. POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

    @SAM:

    you Know how This Money is not all Hers, Right ?

  6. ABC August 27, 2013

    Ok??

  7. Tisha August 27, 2013

    There’s a reason her name and claim to the music world hasn’t been diminished with time, b**** moves faster, works harder, and sells more than kids more than half her age.

  8. CIARA FAN August 27, 2013

    congratz but she remains an Overrated b****…lmao @ the flipflopers only stanning for her success

    • POP ROYALTY (F*** Yeah Rihanna) August 27, 2013

      they stan for a flop and watched her flop 3 times on a row, ofc they will try their hardest to ruin the experience of other fans of MORE successful Artists in a desperate response, but just Like their fav, they are Flops at that too. :mrgreen:
