Taylor Swift is the highest paid star under 30

July 16th, 2012

Forbes Magazine recently released their list of top earning stars under 30 and country star, Taylor Swift, came out on top, earning $57 million between May 2011 and May 2012. This not only includes her strong album sales – each of her albums has sold at least 4 million copies – but also includes her sold-out concerts, which makes her an average of $1 million per night, and her current endorsement deal with CoverGirl makeup. You go, girl!

The list was dominated by women, with Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry rounding out the top five. The only male to crack the top was Justin Bieber, who was a close second to Swift, raking in $53 million within the past year.

Forbes releases a list of top earning stars by calculating album and concert sales, movie gigs, endorsements and ad work and profit participation.
