Madonna, Beyonce & Celine Dion are Forbes' Top Earning Musicians

Female artists ruled Forbes‘ Top-Earning Musicians list of the year, with Madonna, Celine Dion and BeyoncĂ© taking the top three spots. Madonna, who set records with her sold-out Sticky & Sweet tour and had worldwide success with Hard Candy, made roughly $110 million to top the list of profits earned from June 2008 to June 2009. However, Forbes doesn’t factor in the Material Girl’s expensive divorce from ex-husband Guy Ritchie, which will reportedly cost Madonna $75 million. Last year, Forbes called Madonna the “Cash Queen of Music.”

Dion came in second with $100 million, followed by BeyoncĂ©, who made $87 million thanks to touring, I Am… Sasha Fierce and promotional deals.

Let's Get It, Ladies!
