6 out of 10 of the Forbes highest-paid celebrities under 30 for this year were women and Taylor Swift led the list with her earnings from May 2011 to May 2012.
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter and occasional actress reportedly earned $57 million. Aside from albums and concerts, she also earned big money from endorsements.
Following Swift at number 2 was Justin Bieber who raked in a total of $55 million during that period. So much money for an 18-year-old!
Just like Swift, the Canadian teen heartthrob earned a lot from music sales, concerts and endorsements. He also earned from his investments in companies like Tinychat and Spotify.
