The Forbes Magazine has ranked the highest paid celebrities under 30. The top ten of the young leaders proves that girls, as always, are the best business ladies!
1. Taylor Swift
The first place was taken by 22-year-old singer Taylor Swift, who earned 57 million dollars between May 2011 and May 2012. Each of her three albums became four times platinum, and for every show she earns one million dollars.
2. Justin Bieber
18-year-old Justin Bieber has occuped the second place in the ranking, and he still has time to get to the top of it. So far, he lacks only two million dollars to keep up with Taylor – $55 million. In addition to singing, he enjoys startups, investing in such companies as Stamped, Tinychat, and Spotify.
3. Rihanna
24-year-old singer Rihanna rounds out the top three, with her last year’s 53 million dollars. It is also the first time she appeared in the Forbes list. Apparently, she has benefited from changing her accountants!
4. Lady Gaga
The fourth line was given to the 26-year-old pop diva Lady Gaga, who earned only 52 million dollars instead of $90 million the year before. Hopefully, the world tour will correct this position!
5. Katy Perry
Lady Gaga is followed by 27-year-old singer Katy Perry, who has recently released the album Tennage Dream with her five number 1 singles. Her fortune is estimated at 45 million dollars.
6. Adele
This year the ranking includes 24-year-old British singer Adele, who earned $35 million due to her concerts and album sales. Congratulations to the future mom!
7-9. Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Rob Pattinson
The only actors in the list are the stars of the “Twilight Saga” Kristen Stewart, 22, (34.5 million dollars), Taylor Lautner, 20 years old, (26.5 million dollars) and 26-year-old Robert Pattinson (26.5 million). According to the Forbes magazine, Kristen Stewart became the highest paid actress last year, having taken the seventh place.
10. Lil Wayne
The men’s company includes not only Justin Bieber and the guys from “Twilight”, but rapper Lil Wayne as well. Over the period from May 2011 to May 2012, he managed to read rap for the sum of 28 million dollars, ranking eighth on the list. Lil surely deserves respect!
