The 27 year old pop star Beyonce earned the top spot on Forbes list of Top-Earning Young Musician. She earned $87 million with talents that go beyond her voice.
Since last June Beyonce has dropped a double album, starred in two films, performed at both the Oscars and the Presidential Inaugural Ball, and embarked on what is expected to be, at minimum, a 110-date international tour. She has also expanded a fashion collection that includes casual and formal lines as well as jewelry and eyeglasses, and added sponsors Nintendo, Crystal Geyser, and General Mills to a roster of endorsers already including L’Oreal, Giorgio Armani, and Samantha Thavasa handbags.
Britney Spears, the other 27-year-old pop star on the list, ranks second with $35 million in earnings. After a very public meltdown in 2007, the tabloids’ favorite train wreck is back on track. She released Circus last November, one of the fastest-selling records of 2008, moving 1.5 million copies in three months. The supporting tour, launched in March, sold out across the U.S.
At No. 3, with earnings of $25 million, is Miley Cyrus. In the last year the star-turned-global-brand sold 4 million albums, garnered $86 million at the worldwide box office, and shot 30 episodes of her top-rated Disney Channel series, “Hannah Montana.” She lends her face and G-rated likeness to everything from sleeping bags to lunch boxes. But she’s also managed to appeal to an older crowd, landing on the covers of Glamour and Elle, and inside the pages of Vanity Fair.
