katyperrylately: Katy is Forbes’ World’s Highest-Paid Musician Of 2015!Touring is now the industry’s main moneymaker, and perhaps nobody better exemplifies this that this year’s highest-paid musician in the world: Katy Perry.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.“Music has changed,” she told FORBES in an interview for this year’s Celebrity 100 cover story. “The record is that launching pad for all kinds of other creative branches.”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). -- source link
