Taylor Swift, One Direction, Rihanna, And Jennifer Lawrence Are Top Earners Under 30, But You'll Never Guess Who Is #1!

Taylor Swift, One Direction, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rihanna are some of the names that top the Forbes list of top celebrity earners under 30. However, it's the #1 celeb that may surprise you: Justin Bieber!

It's been quite a year for the "Baby" singer and we mean a not-so-good one. He settled with his neighbor for $80,000 after egging their house, he punched a photographer in Paris, and he's been an all-around mess, especially with his on again/off again relationship with Selena Gomez.

With all of that said, he still managed to rake in $80 million for the year! Much of that money was earned from his world tour, which sold out most places. We'll see if he can sustain being #1 for next year.

Right behind the Biebs is superstar boyband One Direction. Forbes estimates they earned $75 million in the past year. Their current album Four just topped the Billboard charts selling 387,000 in it's first week, while their last album Midnight Memories also topped the charts with 546,000 sold in it's debut.

One of the biggest surprises on the list is Taylor Swift only being #3. Even though her current album 1989 just surpassed 2 million in less than a month, the calculations were done before her latest massive success.

As MStars News reported, One Direction is riding high with their big wins at the American Music Awards, while the "Shake It Off" singer received the Dick Clark Award for Excellence.
