Queen Beyonce tops Forbes 'Top-Earning Women In Music 2014'

Bow down b***hes! hehe! Queen Bey reigns. The singer has topped Forbes annual 'Top-Earning Women In Music 2014 List', by more than doubling what she made in 2013. According to Forbes, Beyonce made $53million in 2013 and $115million in 2014, from endorsement deals, record sales and sold out concerts. She played 95 shows, bringing in an average $2.4 million per city.

See the top 10 earners below and after the cut...
1. Beyonce - $115million
2. Taylor Swift - $64 million
3. Pink - $52million
4. Rihanna ($48 million)


5. Katy Perry ($40 million)
6. Jennifer Lopez ($37 million)
7. Miley Cyrus ($36 million, tie)
7. Celine Dion ($36 million, tie)
9. Lady Gaga ($33 million)
10. Britney Spears ($20 million)

Near Misses

There are plenty of female musicians who earned double-digit millions, yet not quite enough to crack the top ten. Among them: Madonna, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain.

      People like you that think a woman can't succeed without sleeping with someone?smh these women all work hard and that's how they earned to be on this list,even the ones that didn't make it. Women can be successful without sleeping around,it's called hard work and determination.

    Good for them.
    Love or Trust, Trust is much more important than Love. If someone loves me, it is more of that person’s business than mine.  But if the same person trusts me, it places a duty on me to live up to that trust. In other words, Trust challenges one to reciprocate; Love might not always do that.....what's that ISSUE that gives you sleepless night in your relationship? Its time you talk to someone.
