Despite being on the “injured reserve” list between February and June, Lady Gaga nevertheless raked in $80 million in income from June 2012 through June 2013, which is astounding, considering that she had to cancel a leg of her Born This Way Ball Tour while she had hip surgery.
The fruitful, frenetic tour accounted for the vast majority of Gaga’s earnings, grossing $168 million through January. If the trek had played out as planned without the cancellation due to surgery, she would have brought in $200 million.
The list is estimated after Forbes’ bean counters talked to managers, agents, producers and other industry insiders to compile the figures.
