I think I didn't post about it on this forum. I'll copy post from flea's forum
And why did she even take so much money? She's a multimillionaire. That's her real way of helping poorer people. She is really greedy.

She is really greedy. That's absolutely dreadful to read. Wouldn't be surprised they did so because "she's the Queen" and required special treatment. Yeah. Give all the money to the one who literally laid on her back to get to the top.  While the disabled athletes have a much harder life and probably worked hard to get to where they are at, don't get anything. Talk about fair.  |

Well when she charges $300+ per ticket what do you expect? And her fans still claim she's being artistic. Lmao no. She's just using cheap tricks of controversy to make it look like she has a "message" to spread with her Boring Tours.  |

Thanks for the link/source! $1.5 million is probably pocket change to her. But still. No need to give her anymore money.  |

Madonna Tops Forbes 2013 List Of The Top-Earning Celebrities - Dorothy Pomerantz, Forbes Staff
Madonna‘s latest album, MDNA, was a flop. Her 12th studio album, Madonna sold fewer than 1 million copies of MDNA and the singles, like “Give Me All Your Luvin,” failed to impress on the pop music scene.
But the tour that the Material Girl launched to go along with her new album was a spectacular success. Fans didn’t flock to stadium and spend upwards of $100 per ticket to hear Madonna’s latest stuff. They went to hear hits like “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin” and “Lucky Star.”
The tour grossed $305 million and earned her the Top Touring Award at the Billboard Music Awards.
Add to that strong merchandise sales, a clothing line, fragrance and investments in companies like Vita Coco and Madonna tops our list of the Highest Earning Celebrities. We estimate the pop star brought in $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
That’s more money than Madonna has ever earned in the time we’ve been doing our Celebrity 100 list. The closest she came to $125 million was in 2009 when she earned $110 million.
Madonna’s success, at age 55, just goes to show the incredible power of a successful music career. Many have accused Lady Gaga of copying Madonna’s career. The young star is certainly emulating Madonna when it come to raking in money.
Gaga ranks 10th on our list of highest-paid celebrities with $80 million in earnings. She would have brought in even more than that if her tour hadn’t been cut short by a hip injury.
Her latest single, “Applause,” was overshadowed last week by Katy Perry‘s latest, “Roar.” But Gaga can comfort herself with the knowledge that last year at least, she earned a lot more money than Perry who brought in an estimate $39 million.
To compile our list, we talked to agents, managers, producers and other in-the-know folks to come up with estimates for each celebrity’s entertainment-related earnings between June 2012 and June 2013, the time frame for our Celebrity 100 list. We do not deduct for taxes, agent fees or the other expenses of being a celebrity.
Ranking second on our list with $25 million less than Madonna is Steven Spielberg. - List item 2
- List item 3
Didnt Forbes release a money list a couple of weeks ago? The one where she was topped by Gaga, Shakira, Rihanna, etc. :dunno: :dunno: Even though Forbes notes the money she makes I like how shady their article is. Not many big-name news sites are brave enough to call her MDNA album a flop. :party: :party: [/ul]

Some interview from 1992 where the publisher (  ) says that Madonna knows the amount of money selling the se.x book can make her. I believe that Madonna only does things to: - get attention/media coverage for controversies - find ways to make money off said controversy Vanity Fair (October 1992)... Of course, we all know that the 34-year-old Ms. Ciccone has never been one for a gradual buildup to shock. She seems to have a deep and complete understanding of its value. “She is someone who has a highly charged s-xuality, and, unlike most people, she neither disguises it nor is ashamed of it,” says Nicholas Callaway of Callaway Editions Inc.. the quality publishing house which is producing S-x for Warner Books. “She exhibits, explores, and displays it, and feels no compunction about doing so publicly. She also realizes it can be very profitable.” ... |

Why does the media feel the need to compare everything to Gaga? I'm not a Gaga fan, nor do I care about silly things like money and record sales, but was Madonna making $80+ million 5 years into her career? How is it that a "flop" artist like Gaga, grossed more than $160 million in her first two tours but "the successful" Madonna only grossed about $10 million in her first tour and $51 million on her second? Still the 'Material Girl', Madonna out earns Lady Gaga on Forbes list |
