The Highest-Paid Celebrities Under 30: Who Is Most Overpaid?

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?

    I just think the kid is cute, I'm not a groupie. But I'll have to pay more attention because again, I've never heard it so I can hardly argue that.

    He is a fad. He will go away once teenage girl grow tired of him and he grows out of puberty. He has no talent so people outside of this current generation wouldn't even know who he is.

    I honestly think Kristen stewart is way overpaid too much considering she's not even a good actress while Justin Bieber atleast has talent and can perform

    I'm not convinced that there is much talent to be found anywhere on this list. But I don't blame these people for being highly paid, since it is the fans that drive up their value it is simply a reflection of our culture. I am not impressed with the high pay given to any entertainer and that includes athletes. I think it is a twisted thing that we value entertainment above anything else.

    but i would've loved to see a kristen stewart option; she gets paid way too much for having so little talent

    I watched the Twilight movies and she couldn't even act worth a crap. I felt I wasted my money seeing her in those movies.

    For every emotion and movie it's the same. Fiddles with hair, blinks hard, shakes head, and stutters.

    I just wonder why she never smiles, I swear she goes in her room and writes in her diary about how bad her life sucks. "Dear damn diary, I have tons of fans and get a huge paycheck and everyone is waiting for my brand new movie, WHY DOES MY LIFE SUCK SO BAD?

    I pick him partially because he sucks, partially because he blows, mostly because he swallows.

    So true plus a lot of young girls like him too. I am not one of those girls at all and I don't see the appeal of Justin Bieber besides his looks and even then I don't like him.I don't hate Justin Bieber nor do I like him. He is just a fad and he will go away.
