U.S. Singers: Who won millions?

And the winner is ... Lady Gaga! Able to hear this phrase all the awards ceremonies, singer wildest in the world is again at the head of a new classification. That of Billboard's Money Makers, ie, that of the highest paid artists in the United States. And the sums are staggering. In 2010, Lady Gaga hit $ 30.5 million.

The first place that does not surprise anyone, given its extreme popularity and incredible sales of his albums and singles. In the second, more surprising: Jon Bon Jovi with $ 30.4 million. Obviously, the singer almost forgotten on the European side continues its merry way with our American friends.

The following Roger Waters of Pink Floyd with 24.4 million and The Dave Matthews Band with $ 23.9 million. Justin Bieber is going to drool all teenagers in the world whose parents consistently refuse an increase in spending money. The little that has the world at his feet was harvested this year as much as $ 22.4 million.

It therefore reaches the fifth place ranking. To celebrate the move, Justin Bieber was given a small gift: an apartment worth 1.7 million dollars! Another asset in the youth classification: Taylor Swift, who with his country songs and mischievous, has managed to garner $ 20.7 million. Jake Gyllenhaal must bite their fingers pressed to have! Then there are "small players", ie, those who earned less than $ 20 million.

So, for example, Michael Buble which is positioned in 7th place. The handsome crooner in 2010 hit $ 19.8 million. Members of the Eagles, they hit 18.3 million. Surprisingly, The Black Eyed Peas reaped in 2010 "only" $ 16.8 million. We expected more. And finally, the last ranking, but still present, Paul McCartney, who garnered this year no less than $ 14.1 million.

He can thank the Beatles!
