Lady Gaga may have a good reason to celebrate this year. We're just one month away from the debut of her new single Born This Way, and it's been reported that the singer is estimated to make 100 million this year. Last year she raked in $64 million, which makes her the seventh highest-paid musician in the world, just $1 million behind Jay-Z (#6). Only U2 ($130 million) and AC/DC ($114 million) crested the $100 million earnings mark. Most of her earnings come from the fact that she's been on tour performing hits from her two albums, The Fame and The Fame Monster. The Fame has so far sold 12 million copies world wide. In 2010, her 138-show Monster’s Ball tour grossed $133 million. Over the next six months, Gaga is scheduled to play 41 shows at 20,000-seat venues like Madison Square Garden in New York and the Staples Center in Los Angeles. In February she will release her new single Born This Way which you know will get her lots of hits on iTunes, YouTube, and other social networking websites. She also plans to release her third album this summer and another tour, which will bring her the 100 million she has worked hard to achieve.
Say what you want about Ms. Germanotta, but one think you can't knock her for is her ability to make some coin. She, like Jay Z should thank the Illiminati for all their success. For more of a breakdown on Gaga's earnings, head over to Forbes.com.
