Lady Gaga is top earning celebrity under 30: Forbes

NEW YORK: Despite hip surgery that forced the cancellation of part of her tour, Lady Gaga still earned an estimated $80 million in the past year, propelling her to the top of Forbes list of highest earning celebrities under 30 years old.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber, who made headlines as much for his antics off stage as on, came in a distant second with an estimated income of $58 million.

Singer Taylor Swift was third, pulling in $55 million, about $2 million less than last year when she topped the list.
