FORBES’ FIVE TOP WOMEN IN MUSIC, 2014
 |
| Beyonce |
Forbes reports that
2013-14 was “the biggest year of Beyoncé’s career”: a bestselling new album,
which is soon to be reissued; clothing and fragrance lines; sponsorships from
H&M and Pepsi; and above all a hugely profitable tour. The singer played 95
gigs in the past year, grossing an average of $2.4m (£1.5m) in each city. It is
no wonder she has been named 2014’s top-earning woman in music, doubling her
earnings from the year before. The 33-year-old singer grew her fortune by an
estimated $115m (£71.8m) in just 12 months.

| Taylor Swift |
Taylor Swift was
the year’s second most profiting female musician, earning a career-high $64m
(£40m). This figure does not include any of the money from Swift’s new record,
1989, which has sold more than 1.5m copies during its first week on sale.

| Pink |
Interestingly, the
sale of music is not particularly important to any of the top-earning female
musicians. Of the Forbes list’s top five, only Beyoncé and Katy Perry released
albums this year: Swift, Rihanna and Pink earned tens of millions without the
benefit of new music.

These singers earn the majority of their income from
tour-dates and endorsement contracts.
