The World's Highest-Paid Musicians

[Surfer]

Bon Jovi is still rocking. The group earned $125 million over the past 12 months, enough to claim the No. 2 spot on FORBES' annual list of the world's highest-paid musicians. U2 (pictured above) took home $195 million-and music's money crown-thanks to an international stadium tour that grossed some $700 million over two years, surpassing the Stones' A Bigger Bang tour as the most lucrative of all time. Power ballad rockers aren't the only artists raking in the cash this year. Elton John ranks third with $100 million, fueled by a 102-show tour; Lady Gaga, godmother to Sir Elton's new son, clocks in at No. 4 with $90 million; Canadian crooner Michael Bubl? rounds out the top five with $70 million, also on the strength of a lucrative tour.

Our numbers encompass all pretax income earned from May 2010 to May 2011, before subtracting agent and manager fees. The totals were compiled with the help of data from Pollstar, RIAA and others, as well as extensive interviews with industry insiders including lawyers, managers, concert promoters, agents and, in some cases, the musicians themselves.

The musicians on our list run quite a gamut. Justin Bieber, who raked in $53 million, is the youngest at age 17. Paul McCartney, who took home $66 million, is the oldest at 68. One couple even made the list-Jay-Z and Beyonc? took home $37 million and $35 million, respectively, marking the first time since their nuptials that the hip-hop mogul earned more than his wife.
Beyonc? is one of only five female solo acts on the list, compared to 13 males

I organizaciju koja prevazilazi kupovinu karata za avion na liniji Beograd - Zurich i rezervaciju hotelskih soba za bend.

Pozdrav,

Vasa

P.S. Obaška to što je zbirna prošlogodišnja zarada 25 najplaćenijih svetskih muzičkih imena malo manja od cene proizvoidnje JEDNOG aviona B-2. Da ne pominjem godišnju cenu održavanja celokupne flote od dvadesetak tih aviona. Hehe. Ali to nije toliko važno, čisto onako kao kuriozitet...

sad se svelo samo na mega zvezde....od novih (koji su uzeli velike pare) valja pomenti i Katy Perry ($44M) Taylor Swift ($45M) Rihanna ($29M), itd...
Jeste, muzika je tu samo 10%...kao sto (valjda) svi znaju.
(samo da ne krene OPET ona prica o "umetnosti", "sviranju za pare" itd...
PESME su JAKO bitne..i ko ima hit - lepo je nagradjen !!!

Eminem-ov duet sa Rijanom je napisan na matricu od NEPOZNATOG malog producenta iz London...(koji je u medjuvremenu uvalio jos par stvari!!)
I dalje je verovatnoca ista kao i da dobijes na Lotto-u...ali ja se nebi smarao sa glupostima, SAMO bi radio na pesmama...ucio kako se to radi, analizirao, itd..pa ako nekad jedna pesma nadje mesto..onda je lakse uvaliti sve iz rezerve!!
