Madonna was the world’s top-earning celebrity over the past year, trumping the likes of Steven Spielberg.
The 55-year-old pop star made an estimated $125 million (£80m) thanks to her MDNA tour, clothing and fragrance lines, according to Forbes.
The magazine said it was the most money Madonna had made in a single year since it began tracking earnings in 1999.
Director Steven Spielberg was at number two with $100m (£64m).
Third place was a three-way tie between 50 Shades of Grey author EL James, Simon Cowell and radio “shock jock” Howard Stern, with earnings of $95m (£61m).
The figures do not reflect tax deductions, agent fees or “the other expenses of being a celebrity”.
