Total #GirlBosses, the lot of ‘em.

We all know the likes of Adele, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are pretty big players in the world of music, but these ladies have just been named the top three highest earning female stars in music 2017!

Beyoncé Fans Are 100% Certain Her New Braids Have A Secret Meaning & We're So Here For It

Yep, Beyoncé (obvs) topped the Forbes charts with a humungous $105million earnings in the past year, absolutely leaving the competition in the dust, with her closest rival Adele earning only(!) $69million.

Tay Tay came in at third with less than half of Queen Bey’s earnings at $44million, which – let’s be honest – we would definitely not turn our noses up at either!

The full list of Forbes’ highest earning female musicians 2017 is:

Beyonce - $105million
Adele - $69million
Taylor Swift - $44million
Celine Dion - $42million
Jennifer Lopez - $38million
Dolly Parton - $37million
Rihanna - $36million
Britney Spears - $34million
Katy Perry - $33million
Barbara Streisand - $30million

According to Forbes, the figures are pre-tax income between June 2016/17 and don’t count fees taken by agents, managers and lawyers – but even so, you can pretty much guarantee these ladies got a PREEEETY big take home salary at the end of it.

Nope, we’re not jealous at all… (OK, maybe a LITTLE bit).
