The World's Highest Paid Musicians of 2016

After making No.1 on Forbes' list of highest-paid Celebrities of 2016 early this year, Taylor Swift tops the list one more time. Now she made officially the highest-paid Musician in the World.

The 'Shake It Off' singer earned an impressive $170 million from June 2015 to June 2016 with a pre-tax income. That's more than Justin Bieber ($56 million), Beyoncé ($54 million) and Jay Z ($53.5 million) earned together.

Even though she didn't release any new album during this period, her No. 1 may be attributable to a massive number of her 1989 tour concerts and product endorsements, including deals with Keds, Diet Coke, and Apple, according to Forbes.

The second position is boy-band One Direction with $110 million, making them the highest earning boy-band of all time.

Adele takes third place at $80.5 million, Madonna at fourth with $76.5 million and Rihanna is in fifth place with $75 million.

The top 10 names follows Garth Brooks ($70 million), AC/DC ($67.5 million), Rolling Stones ($66.5 million), Calvin Harris ($63 million) and Diddy ($62 million) in 10th.

Although women rounded out the list’s top five, only seven were among the top 30 - Beyoncé, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez, among the others already said.
