BARBADOS’ INTERNATIONAL POP STAR Rihanna has been ranked third in the top 10 list of highest paid celebrities under 30 years old by Forbes magazine.
Country music starlet Taylor Swift is at No.1 with $57 million, while Canadian teen sensation Justin Beiber is No. 2 at $55 million in earnings.
Rihanna reportedly earned an estimated $53 million between May 2011 and May 2012, putting her in third place. Her earnings this year got a big boost from an 85-night tour and her 2011 hit album Talk That Talk, which has gone gold in the United States and launched hits like We Found Love.
Rounding out the top five are Lady Gaga and Katy Perry at $52 million and $45 million, respectively.
Rihanna was here this week here for the funeral of her grandmother Clara ‘Dolly’ Brathwaite which was held on Tuesday.
On Thursday night she was spotted shopping with her mother, Monica, at the exclusive Luis Vuitton store at Limegrove Lifestyle Centre in Holetown, St James.
