In a year where you spent half in convalescence after crippling hip surgery, it would sure be nice to earn $80 million.

In the overall celebrity Top 100, [Gaga] trailed only Oprah, who made $77 million over the same span, but still has a more dominating presence based on their ranking system.

At Forbes’ Number Two is Beyoncé, whom the magazine noted grosses $2 million in every city she plays, on top of her lucrative deals with Pepsi and H&M.

People pissed at this list right now—Beyonce.

She’s been working her ass off the last year, having a kid, going on tour, pumping out songs—yet still can’t surpass a woman who has stayed quiet for months.

It’s a goal to which we should all aspire. Although hopefully, you’re doing work you should never want to vacation from (jk you’re totally not right now).
