Madonna has topped Forbes' 2013 list of the top-earning women in music, pulling in a staggering $125 million this year. The bulk of Madonna's earnings came from the last leg of her MDNA Tour, which grossed $305 million overall; she also sees income from merchandise sales, her Material Girl clothing line and her fragrance, Truth or Dare.
Madonna's reign at the top should perhaps come as no surprise – she was named the highest earner in all of music at the end of November, and this past August she was named the highest earner among all celebrities, again, on the strength of her merch sales and tour earnings.
Lady Gaga, one of Madonna's many progeny, found herself in the number two spot on Forbes' list of the highest earning women in music, raking in $80 million. That number is particularly impressive when you take into account that it was calculated not just before the release of her latest record, Artpop, but it also includes earnings from her Born This Way Ball tour, which was shortened after the pop star had to cancel a number of shows due to an injured hip that required surgery.
