The Top-Earning Women In Music


Recommended Posts

Posted

Celine is in the top 10 with 19 million dollars:

 

"Among the top ten earners, there were both newcomers and veterans. Soul sensation Adele pulled in $18 million—a number that only captures a few months of sales for her breakout album 21, making her a likely candidate to return to the top ten next year. Celine Dion may not be quite as popular as her British counterpart, but she banked $19 million on the strength of a wildly popular run in Las Vegas, where her nightly gross ticket sales exceeded $2.3 million."

Not accurate. I don't buy it.

 

It's a reliable source, but I just don't buy it. If it would be true, then I would vomit because Katy (talentless) Perry earned $44 million?? :sick:

"...It's the circle of life. You gotta look forward. Two days during the year there's nothing you can do about: yesterday and tomorrow. Today is a great day." - Celine Dion, People.

But isn't Forbes always not accurate?

And if this is overall then I believe they are wrong xD Maybe it's just this year though?

Oh and about that, didn't Celine get the 'top earning female star of the past decade' or something like that last year? So she should probably get it again this year because of the Vegas shows?

In my opinion guys, this number seems accurate. Think about 2011, Celine done one thing, VEGAS! That has been her only income as she didnt release ANY new music at all. They obviously have not included sales of her perfume, as that would increase the number alot. But going by the amount she done in 2011, I would think this number is not far wrong. Thats my thoughts anyway :)

In my opinion, Forbes is a well-known reliable publishing and media company, so I think it's accurate. Thanks for sharing!

I don't think it's right to say Celine is the least popular among the women on the list considering she's got the most profitable show among them. :glare: it's just doesn't follow. and i agree. adele is definitely not as popular as celine. i doubt if she could ever fill celine's shoes. :nono:

I think it's great that Celine is still in the race! But I think Adels music is boring, and I hate her rough voice!!
The greatest voice ever! ♥

Really don't think it's accurate. What about the perfume sales and the album sales? They didn't release any new album but I doubt people will ever stop buying FIY or LTAL or ANDHC or whatever...
Love comes to those who believe it...

I think it is prety impressive because it counts money earned from May 2010 to May 2011 anc Celine started the new Vegas show in March 2011. She earned that much doing parctically nothing.

It's accurate. They listed the income for this year only, not their overall wealth status in the banks. And by "popularity" they meant the sum of the albums, singles sales, the airplay during the year and the concerts income. Celine only did one of those so that's what they wrote "less popular", not because Adele's more publicly popular, they know well that said in general a similar thing has nothing to do with logic. So, I'm glad for Celine, she has a pretty decent position :)

Welcome to the "Loved Me Back To Life" era!

Well, Katy Perry was on tour, so that made her a boatload of cash, As for Adele, her album's sold north of 13 million copies globally, so I'm not surprised she made so much.

 

Here's Forbes' methodology: "Our numbers encompass all pretax income earned from May 2010 to May 2011, before subtracting agent and manager fees. The totals were compiled with the help of data from Pollstar, RIAA and others, as well as extensive interviews with industry insiders including lawyers, managers, concert promoters, agents and, in some cases, the musicians themselves."

 

It seems that Celine's figure, at least is pretty solid. $19 million in a year without any promotion is nothing short of incredible. That's still $9 million more than Britney Spears, who had a #1 album and several #1 singles...

They mentioned this list in TV news today here in Slovakia and they mentioned also Céline, nice to see her in tvnews, even if it was short clip of MHWGO video.

If it is like PatrickDion22 and manu23 said, it must be accurate then... :shrug: But anyway, they count only her income for the Vegas show, without perfum sales, album and DVDs sales and the money from his royalties for everything hers played in radios, TV, ads, etc... So, it must be more than this I think... :hmm:

It's pretty accurate I think. It's just about music though. Album/singles sales and concerts.

Doesn't include perfumes, advertising or endorsement deals, etc.

apparently, they had factored in advertising/endorsement deals, etc. in the case of gaga. it's clearly stated in the article:

 

"That title belongs to Lady Gaga, who led the pack with a staggering $90 million total boosted by strong album sales, endorsements and an extremely lucrative world tour"

:rolleyes:
