Forbes has just released its list of highest earning celebrities under 30. Topping the list is Lady Gaga, who reportedly earned $80 million last year. What piqued our interest, wasn’t the mother monster’s impressive pay check, but rather Calvin Harris who came in at a comfortable 4th, behind Taylor Swift but ahead of Rihanna. It should come as no surprise though, considering the rapid success of his latest album “18 months” that earned him a double platinum in the UK. Here is the full ranking:
1. Lady Gaga – $80 million
2. Justin Bieber – $58 million
3. Taylor Swift – $55 million
4. Calvin Harris – $46 million
5. Rihanna – $43 million
6. Katy Perry – $39 million
7. Adele – $25 million
8. Jennifer Lawrence – $26 million
9. Kristen Stewart – $22 million
10. Taylor Lautner – $22 million

I really hate his commercial edm remixes, but not surprised he is on the top 10 and the only sole dj where everyone else is a live performer. Lady Gaga still banked 80 mil despite canceling a bunch of shows since February because of pelvic injury.
