  • This article is very misleading. It was covered in 2007 and Madonna had no gigs. The most relevant thing she did that year was adopt David and tour Africa and India. Hard Candy was released 2008. 44 mill isn't bad for a celebrity bumming around. Wait till Forbes totals her earnings this year.

  • beyonce should be #1 because the police is a group and they have to divide the money into 3.
