1. Dr. Dre ($110 million)
Another year, another crop of musicians making bank. Forbes has released its list of highest-paid musicians, led this year not by a popstar or rock band, but a doctor. Despite sounding angry in every song, rapper and beatmaker Dr. Dre earned a cool $110 million between May 2011 and May 2012. Most of that had nothing to do with the production of music, though: Dre earned the vast majority of that from his über-trendy headphone line, Beats by Dre.
2. Roger Waters ($88 million)
3. Elton John ($80 million)
4. U2 ($78 million)
5. Take That ($69 million).
6. Bon Jovi ($60 million)
7. Britney Spears ($58 million)
8-Paul McCartney ($57 million, tie)
9. Taylor Swift ($57 million, tie)
10. Justin Bieber ($55 million, tie)
