List of highest paid female artistes released

At Kiss 100, we don't really think it comes as any surprise that Taylor Swift is the highest-paid female artiste in the world. She earned 185 million dollars pretax during the past year with alot of that reportedly coming from her Reputation Stadium Tour, which grossed a U.S.-record $266 million.

And as if that wasn't enough, Taylor Swift made double what her closest rival -the second person on the list made.

Beyoncé, who came in second place made $81 million, largely thanks to her On The Run II stadium tour with husband Jay-Z and her Homecoming live album and Netflix special.

Rihanna rounds out the top three with $62 million, the bulk of that coming from her Fenty Beauty joint venture with luxury goods giant LVMH.
