The Material Girl is at it again. Madonna has perennially been a big moneymaker in the world of music, earning between $40 and $50 million per year, but she certainly outdid herself in the period of June 2008 to June 2009 as she brings home enough money to top Forbes list of the Top-Earning Musicians.
The Forbes list also proves that, even if the music industry is falling on hard times, the big acts are making huge gains. The top ten musicians last year made a combined $500 million while this year's top ten brought in $719 million.
Here is this year's list:
•1. Madonna - $110 million
•2. Celine Dion - $100 million
•3. Beyonce Knowles - $87 million
•4. Bruce Springsteen - $70 million
•5. Kenny Chesney - $65 million
•6 (tie) Coldplay - $60 million
•6 (tie) Rascal Flatts - $60 million
•6 (tie) AC/DC - $60 million
•9. Eagles - $55 million
•10. Toby Keith - $52 million
•11. Bon Jovi - $50 million
•12. Dave Matthews Band - $45 million
