Forbes: Katy Perry Is This Year's Top Female Earner

Big Tour

FORBES MAGAZINE says, "The top-earning woman in the music business has been cashing in on a massive world tour, a constant stream of hit singles and a string of endorsements with a slew of major companies, while occasionally throwing thinly veiled barbs at her chief rival."

Think you know who it is? If you said KATY PERRY -- you're right.

Mostly because of income from her Prismatic World Tour, PERRY earned $135 million this year.

“I am proud of my position as a boss, as a person that runs my own company,” PERRY told FORBES for its "Celebrity 100" cover story. “I’m an entrepreneur. … I don’t want to shy away from it. I actually want to kind of grab it by its balls.”
