When we think of females in the music industry that could possibly be in competition for the highest paid spots, we think of people like Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. However, someone else is in the #1 spot and you will never guess who!
According to the Forbes list, Katy Perry has been ranked the highest paid female in the music industry for the 2015 year. All from her world tour, hit singles and endorsements, Perry managed to bring in a total of $135 million in one year alone. Her Prismatic World Tour brought in more than $2 million dollars per city and there was a total of 126 shows. She also has deal with Covergirl, Coty and Claire’s which also brings in a nice amount of dough to the table.
“I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company,” she explained to Forbes. “I’m an entrepreneur… I don’t want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls.”
Congrats to Katy on her accomplishments. That’s super dope!
