The Super Bowl halftime star pulled in $135 million over the past year, making her not only the highest-paid musician of the past year, but the top-earning celebrity on the planet after Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. She grossed more than $2 million per city over the course of her Prismatic World Tour, and pads her coffers with other deals from Claire’s, Coty and Covergirl. Perry played 126 shows in our scoring period, the most of any act among the top ten—nine of whom performed in at least 20 concerts over those 12 months. She’s immediately followed
in the rankings by two other road warriors: One Direction ($130 million) and Garth Brooks ($90 million).

What’s funny is that not only is Katy Perry the #1 celebrity on this list, but Taylor Swift is relegated to the #4 position!! Taylor has been on tour for most of 2015 as well, and Forbes actually notes that Swifty’s tour makes more money per city than Katy’s Prismatic Tour. But… Katy still makes bank because of her endorsements, advertising, etc. Forbes does say that Taylor will probably be the highest-paid musician for 2016, although I think their math might be off. We’ll see how Adele does, you know? And Taylor did get one honor – she and Calvin Harris beat Beyonce and Jay-Z as the highest-earning couple, according to Forbes. Calvin Harris is the highest-earning DJ in the world, actually.
