Beyonce, to basically everyone in the world, seems to be at the top of the music industry totem pole. Whether it be for talent or financial earnings, one would assume Bey would take the cake due to the fact she has excelled in both the acting, singing and business side of things. However according to the Forbes list for the highest paid women, Queen Bey was out-shined by none other than Katy Perry. According to Forbes, 60% of Katy’s major financial earnings came from overseas. She also has a bunch of huge endorsements with Adidas, ProActiv and CoverGirl.
When asked about accepting the deal with Forbes, Katy said:
“Before accepting the offer to be on the cover of Forbes, I was told that a lot of women have previously shied away from doing it. I wondered if it was because they thought socially it would look like they were flaunting or bragging or it wasn’t a humble decision. Ladies, there is a difference between being humble and working hard to see the fruits of your labor blossom, and your dreams realized. Hopefully this cover can be an inspiration to women out there that it’s okay to be proud of hard earned success and that there is no shame in being a boss. Also… don’t think that I didn’t celebrate this moment by going straight to Taco Bell and getting my crunch wrap supreme.”
From the looks of it, she’ll be having a deal with Taco Bell soon to add to the list. (We see what you did there, Katy.)
