Taylor Swift Is 2016’s Highest- Paid Celebrity

It's good to be Taylor Swift right
now.
Picture-perfect romantic life
aside, the savvy pop star and
businesswoman is slaying the
game, easily topping Forbes's
annual "Celebrity 100" list of
highest-paid celebs with a sky-
high income of $170 million over
the past year. Lagging in the
number two spot is now-defunct
British boy band One Direction,
with $110 million. That's
admittedly not too shabby — but
then again, there are five of them
compared to just one Swift. She's
in a league of her own.
Swift was number eight on the
list last year, but this year she's
vaulted to the top of the
rankings, no doubt propelled by
her mega successful 1989 World
Tour that raked in over $200
million. According to Forbes, her
total net worth now stands at $
250 million. As for music's other
leading ladies, Adele, Madonna,
Rihanna and Katy Perry also all
made it to this year's 100.
In 2015, boxer Floyd Mayweather
took the top spot with $300
million, followed by his famous
opponent Manny Pacquiao. But
this year? Neither put up a fight
against the singer-songwriter.
