Beyonce has exceeded the likes of music industry record setters including Prince and Michael Jackson to snatch the title of highest earning African-American artists of all time.
MTV News reports:
Beyonce has been named the highest-paid black artist of all time. According to Billboard magazine, King B has overtaken previous earning records held by the likes of Michael Jackson, his sister Janet and Prince to take the title, and it's all thanks to her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. The publication claims that Beyonce took home $212million from the year long tour with the tour eventually selling 1.8 million tickets across 126 dates. The most recent European leg of the tour which saw the star perform 25 dates from February to March is thought to have earned her $41.1million alone. Not only that, Bey and hubby Hov are set to make even more money after recently announcing a joint US tour, titled On The Run which starts this summer.
All Hail.
