    You could say the same about Beyonce this year. And Madonna for that matter. But they all old money (in industry terms). That's what good investments/merchandising and endorsements do for you. Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus been running around all year dropping albums, touring, making movies etc. and still only earned equal or less.

    yeah u right but bey perfume was a best seller and she got house of dereon so im not surprised by her, but britney did surprise me. but like u said, good investments i guess. they all cud literally sit on they ass all day an still make millions.

    Again, what has Beyonce done MUSICALLY lately? Beyonce's last album was in 2008 and last tour in 2009...the same as Britney Spears. They have money coming in from other avenues.

    I don't know Beyonce just seems to be in the public eye more, which is why it seems she has dropped music recently. Britney on the other hand seemed to had vanish, yet she still making 64 mill a year.
