Forbes reported on Tuesday that Beyoncé earned $115 million from June 2013 to June 2014, beating out Taylor Swift to become the top earning woman in music this year. In 2013, Forbes reported that Queen B had grossed $53 million in the past year, which placed her at No. 4, meaning she has more than doubled earnings this year. Beyoncé’s 2014 world tour was one of the most publicized of the year and contributed largely to her success; Forbes estimates she raked in, on average, $2.4 million per city. Her H&M and Pepsi endorsement deals also factored in a big way.
