That's one way to shake off the haters. Taylor Swift topped Forbes' list of the 30 highest-paid musicians in the world.
The Watch online Fast Lane to Malibu (2000)2016 list includes Rihanna, Paul McCartney, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and even Swift's ex Calvin Harris -- but Swift swept them all away. At $170 million in annual earnings, she beat out the second-highest paid musical outfit, One Direction ($110 million), which no longer even exists.

The list ranks musicians based on their earnings between June 2015 and June 2016, which explains the ranking of an artist like Beyoncé (No. 17, $54 million), who released Lemonade in April and had only just begun to tour before the cutoff date. Forbespredicts Bey near the top of 2017's list based on her Formation World Tour earnings.
“When it comes to the relative earning power of these artists, we have a way to go until we see the gender gap eliminated,” Landew told Forbes, noting that only seven of the top 30 highest paid artists are women. “[Swift] appears to be particularly well-suited to handling the pressures that her lifestyle presents. When you put this all together, you have a recipe for enormous success.”
