Forbes just released their annual list of the highest-paid women in music, and Katy Perry managed to out-earn all of her rivals, including Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. She pulled in $83 million between June 2017 and June 2018, thanks to her highly successful Witness: The Tour.

The 13-time Grammy nominee reportedly grossed $1 million per night during her 80-date tour, and that’s the main reason behind her huge success. Katy Perry also served as one of the judges on a new season of American Idol and it’s been rumored she secured a $20 million paycheck for this gig.

Perry was closely followed by Taylor Swift, who spent the last year promoting her sixth studio album. It’s important to note the list only takes June-to-June time-frame into account, so it didn’t record the complete revenue from Swift’s Reputation Tour, which wrapped up on November 21 in Tokyo.

The World’s Highest-Paid Women In Music 2018

  1. Katy Perry ($83 million)
  2. Taylor Swift ($80 million)
  3. Beyoncé ($60 million)
  4. Pink ($52 million)
  5. Lady Gaga ($50 million)
  6. Jennifer Lopez ($47 million)
  7. Rihanna ($37.5 million)
  8. Helene Fischer ($32 million)
  9. Celine Dion ($31 million)

Scarlett Johansson has dethroned Emma Stone as the highest paid actress in Hollywood.

Johansson is officially the 2018 top-earning female actress claiming the top spot on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid actresses. Earning $40.5 million in 2018 (from June 1, 2017, to June 1, 2018), the 33-year-old actress quadrupled her 2017 earnings and nearly doubled Stone’s top mark of $26 million last year. This is largely due to her portrayal of the Marvel character, Black Widow and her participation in the Avengers film. Johansson is set to return as Black Widow for the 2019 sequel to this year’s Avengers: Infinity War, and will also star in a standalone feature.

Coming in at no. 2 is Angelina Jolie with $28 million (Maleficent 2) with Jennifer Aniston following with $19.5 million (endorsement profits from Emirates airlines, Smartwater, and Aveeno). Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: Dark Phoenix) landed the fourth spot with $18 million and rounding out the opening five is Reese Witherspoon with $16.5 million.

Also featured on the top list are Mila Kunis ($16 million), Julia Roberts ($13 million), Cate Blanchett ($12.5 million) and Melissa McCarthy ($12 million) claiming spots six to nine and newcomer Gal Gadot claiming No. 10 with $10 million.

Emma Stone, who helmed the list last year starring with her Oscar-winning performance in La La Land, is notably absent from the list.

The Kardashian-Jenner family are a force to reckon with. 

According to Forbes, Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kylie Jenner is worth $900m. 

The 20-year-old reality TV star founded Kylie Cosmetics in February 2016. Kylie Cosmetics was launched two years ago and, according to Forbes, has sold more than $630 million worth of makeup since, including an estimated $330 million in 2017. The company is valued (conservatively) at nearly $800 million and the youngest member of the Kardashian klan owns 100% of it.

“The most successful women entrepreneurs in the country are increasingly taking advantage of technology, including social media, to help them launch and grow businesses,” editor Luisa Kroll says. “That’s one reason why we’ve seen a notable influx of Instagram-savvy moguls like 20-year-old Kylie Jenner in the ranks of America’s richest self-made women.” 

Jenner capitalized on her enormous social media following to rocket her company to fame and success. “Social media is an amazing platform,” the star told Forbes, ”I have such easy access to my fans and my customers.”

Kylie took to social media sharing her cover, writing to her 110 million followers on Instagram, “wow. I can’t believe I’m posting my very own @forbes cover. thank you for this article and the recognition. I’m so blessed to do what I love everyday. I couldn’t have dreamt this up!”

Beyoncé tops the 2017 list that was released on Monday. The singer leads the way for the highest-paid women in music, with a whopping $105 million pretax. She is the only person on that list to cross the eight-figure milestone.

Coming in second place is Adele, whose earning stand at roughly two-thirds of Beyoncé’s at $69 million dollars. Taylor Swift ($44 million), who ranked third missed out on the income from her new album reputation, the best-selling music release of 2017 being factored into this year’s list. Celine Dion ($42 million), and Jennifer Lopez ($38 million) came in at fourth, and fifth, place respectively.
