Forbes just put out its annual list of The World’s Top-Earning Musicians.
Sitting pretty at the top is Taylor Swift with a whopping $185 million. Hot off her seventh studio album Lover and a world tour, the songstress is bringing in some serious cash with a new record deal and a swarm of endorsements.
Kanye West follows her up, not so closely behind, with $150 million. He’s been performing here and there, still making waves with his new album JESUS IS KING, and selling tons of Yeezys along the way.
DJ Khaled and Marshmello tie for 29th place at $40 million each, along with The Weeknd. Calvin Harris makes the list at $38.5 million, a 34th place tie with Kendrick Lamar and Zac Brown Band.
These are the musicians stacking the most commas. Read more here via Forbes.
