Madonna Beats Lady Gaga As 2013's Highest-Paid Musician
. Madge made the bulk of her money this year from her MDNA Tour, which grossed $305 million. The rest of her fortune was made thanks to healthy merch sales, her Material Girl clothing line and the debut of her Truth or Dare fragrance. Lady Gaga came in a not-so-very-close second, making $80 million with her Born This Way Rour, which took in $168 million before it was cancelled early due to Gaga's hip injury. According to Forbes, if Gaga had stayed healthy she would have likely made at least $200 million on the tour, thanks to tickets and merch sales. Sales of her new album, ARTPOP, were not added into her total since it was released after the end of the scoring period, which runs from June 1st, 2012 through June 1st, 2013. But, with a comparatively low opening sales week for ARTPOP (roughly 250,000 copies sold), who knows how much that would really help boost Gaga. Bon Jovi grabbed the third slot, earning $79 million thanks to their Because We Can Stadium Tour, which is grossing over $3 million per city. Toby Keith's tour and 18 newly opened restaurants helped him rank fourth with $65 million, while Coldplay, who haven't released a proper album since 2011′s Mylo Xyloto, managed to earn $64 million and the fifth spot, thanks to their recent tour. more on this story Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
