It had sales of under one million, but she has bagged the title because her accompanying tour boosted her estimated earnings to $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013, reports femalefirst.co.uk. Director Steven Spielberg ranked second in the list with estimated earnings of $100 million. Author E.L. James shared the third position in the list with radio personality Howard Stern and music mogul Simon Cowell with $95 million each. IANS
