Forbes Reveals Top Ten List Of HIghest Paid Music Entertainers In The World

Forbes Mag just released the top ten list of the riches entertainers in the music industry for 2011, and you wont believe who made the cut!

Coming in at #10 is the Dave Matthews Band, raking in $51 million this year, while Justin Bieber trails close behind with $53 million at the No. 9 spot -- not too shabby!

Classic 1970's band The Eagles came in at No. 8 earning, $60 million and proving that old tunes can still make lots of new money.

Fergie and her Black Eyed Peas band mates landed the No. 7 spot, just behind international superstar (and our fave Beatle) Paul McCartney who came in at No. 6, earning $67 million.

Surprisingly, blues crooner Michael Bublé beat out McCartney's earnings with $70 million, and the No. 5 spot. Way to go!

Of course Lady Gaga killed it with $90 million and the No. 4 slot (we're not shocked) and her BFF Elton John came in right behind her with $100 million, thanks to his 102-concert tour this year.

Jon Bon Jovi raked in $125 million, coming in at No. 2, and the No. 1 spot on the Forbes richest artists in the music industry is ... U2! The world's biggest band took the coveted top spot, earning a whopping $195 million this year.

Congrats to all of the killer atrists who had a successful 2011!
