The 10 Highest-Paid Music Artists of the Decade Revealed!

Forbes often reveals interesting data about the amount of money that celebrities earn each year and now the magazine is marking the end of the decade!

The outlet just revealed the list of the 10 top-earning musicians of the decade and the artist in the number one spot might surprise you. This artist has not released an album since 2015 and they didn’t even go on tour in this decade, so the money didn’t come solely from their music career.

Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift are among the stars who have made the list… there’s even a married couple on there.

Forbes only included living artists on this ranking. If Michael Jackson were alive, he would have topped the list as his estate has earned over #2 billion in the past decade. Only musicians were included, not people who work solely behind-the-scenes in the music industry.
