2016's highest paid musicians
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Forbes recently released a list of the highest paid musicians - and you will never guess who came out on top?
Holy smokes! Can you imagine earning $170 million in one year? Just that amount in a lifetime would be fantastic, right?!
So Taylor Swift bagged the number one spot ahead of One Direction and Adele. That’s pretty impressive. I like that Taylor, who seems so down to earth and unaffected, is in the number one position, as apposed to someone who is power hungry and arrogant.

Take a look at the list that Forbes released below. No surprises here really. I would have expected to see Lady Gaga here or Justin Bieber, though?
