Business magazine has crowned Beyoncé as the highest paid woman in music in 2017, in its new list released on Monday.
The 36-year-old reportedly earned close to 105 million dollars pretax this year, thanks in part to her acclaimed visual album Lemonade and Formation world tour, which grossed a whopping quarter of a billion dollars, and that is despite taking time off as she and husband Jay-Z welcomed twins Rumi and Sir in June this year. She also earns cash from her Ivy Park fashion line and other business ventures.
Adele, 29, came in second on the list with 69 million dollars while Taylor Swift, 27, claimed third with 44 million dollars, a significant drop from her earnings in previous years. Other artists who made the list this year include Celine Dion (42 million dollars), Jennifer Lopez (38 million dollars), Dolly Parton (37 million dollars) and Rihanna (36 million dollars).
