This is the singer who earned 185 million dollars in 2019

Ready for the heavy artillery in artist land? Let's take a look at the accounts for 2019. In second place is Kanye West with 150 million dollars, the last of the top three is Ed Sheeran who could only add a meager 110 million dollars to his account, but Taylor Swift is the big winner and comes out of 2019 with 185 million dollars richer. Converted, she is good for 167 million euros.

How did Taylor rake in that cash? A record deal here, a sponsorship deal there, just a little touring... She swiftly added some dollars to her bank account. A small side note from Forbes: the income is without deduction of costs and taxes. But I think this should be fine, because I can't imagine you have (let's say) 184 million dollars in expenses per year. Or am I being stingy? Although taxes will surely take a big bite out of it.

We need to go through the complete top ten of course, because Elton also doesn't come away empty-handed from his farewell tour. And presumably, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are not very dissatisfied either.
