Beyonce Is Forbes' Top Earning Woman In Music For 2014

Beyonce has been named 2014's top-earning woman in music by Forbes, doubling her earnings from the year before. With a new album, endorsement deals and an international tour, the superstar grew her fortune by an estimated $115 million in just 12 months. In 2013, Beyonce earned $53 million.

Forbes reports that 2013-14 was "the biggest year of [Beyonce's] career": a bestselling new album, which is soon to be reissued; clothing and fragrance lines; sponsorships from H&M and Pepsi; and a hugely profitable tour with hubby Jay Z entitled, "On the Run." Queen Bee played 95 gigs in the past year, grossing an average of $2.4 million in each city. As a result of her unlimited success, Forbes named her the most powerful celebrity in the world, this June.

Taylor Swift made No. 2 on this year's list, earning a cool $64 million. Following Swift on the list are: Pink, Rihanna, and Katy Perry. Of the Forbes list's top five, only Beyonce and Katy Perry released albums this year. Swift, Rihanna and Pink earned tens of millions without the benefit of new music. These singers earn the majority of their income from tour dates and endorsement contracts.

There are plenty of other female musicians who earned double-digit millions, but not quite enough to make the top ten. Among them: Madonna, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain.
