  • Story Text: Singer Taylor Swift edged out teen heart-throb Justin Bieber as the highest-earning celebrity under 30, taking in $57 million U.S. dollars, as women dominated the top spots on Forbes.com's annual list.
    Bieber, who brought in an estimated $55 million, was the only male among the top five earners, who included Rihanna at number three with $53 million, followed by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
    Based on earnings from May 2011 to May 2012, 22-year-old Swift amassed most of her earnings from her world tour, in which she snagged an estimated $1 million per show. Strong album sales and endorsement work for CoverGirl makeup also contributed to her cash flow.
