The Highest-Paid Celebrities Under 30: Who Is Most Overpaid?
You!
Add Photos & Videos
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?

    Teen girls & women under 21 do no know what a good singer is. Meth, alcohol, cocaine, pot... I don't have to tell those females what they do to your brain. If I had enough cash, I would sincerely find out if Taylor Swift would let me make her scream with my tongue.

    I mean come on! Maybe when he starts making some decent music then he'll deserve all that money. Right now, no way.

    This girl is a terrible singer, only popular bc of her PR stunts, and fake image. I saw her in concert once five yrs ago, worst thing I ever saw, Swift I want my money back!!

    I agree. Taylor Swift was offkey at the Grammys in 2010. I remember that much and that is why I don't like her.

    I just thought Bieber had made a fool of himself so much over recent weeks that to choose him would be picking on him. I can see that you all thought that as well. Good show!

    As long as the tweeners are buying his records, he'll continue to make money. Once he looks like an adult male in the near future, those tweeners will stop buying them. He'd better have a very good money managers, he's going to need them. He is one lucky boy without much talent but with very good hype machine behind him. He's overpaid, overrated for basically a no talent person.

    I hate people who just talk without doing their research. If bieber couldn't sing, and only could sing with machines behind, then explain him singing without ɑ microphone, or explain him singing in talent shows, and explain him even getting to ɑ record

    In Indonesia there are a lot of talented singers who COULD sing well but did not make 1/10000 what Bieber earns or get their records sold, conversely, in the USA with a publicity machine, lots of no talents could make millions but not for long. Their shelf lives are very short. There are plenty of one hit wonders floating around. You are so easily deluded by fame and fortune.
