Is there anything Taylor Swift can't do? The talented singer-songwriter is only 22, and she's already on top of Forbes' list of the 10 highest-paid celebrities under 30. The magazine estimates that between May 2011 and May 2012, the country-pop sensation earned an astounding $57 million, with her concerts alone raking in an average of $1 million per night. Not too shabby, Ms. Swift!
But who said Bieber Fever was over? Justin Bieber, 18, came in second on the list, earning $55 million in the same time period. Rihanna, 24, took third place, with $53 million; Lady Gaga, 26, raked in $52 million; and Katy Perry, 27, rang up the cash register to the tune of $45 million to round out the top five.
There's no doubt that all of these young stars have their own brand of appeal (though we can't say we're a huge fan of Justin Bieber's music), but do they really deserve to be making tens of millions of dollars a year at this point in life? Which one do you think is most overpaid?

However I can't blame him too much, he's just a kid after all and has not been receiving as much education as he ought since he got discovered (Since he was 16 I suppose?) and I guess he's fallen behind some knowledge in exchange for rehearsing for his tours and such. He choose to be an entertainer, but I just don't think it's worth all the money it gets.
I mean even brain surgeons (Really difficult and stressful job, requires a lifetime of dedicated education) only make a million at most in a year.
People don't aspire as much to develop these useful skills because they realize it's easier to just try to learn to sing and have a likable personality and perhaps they'll get lucky and become insanely rich.
