Don’t call it a comeback…Genesis shot to the top of the Forbes Highest Paid Entertainers of 2022 list. Between “The Last Domino” farewell tour and income streams like royalties, the band earned a whopping $230 million last year.

Sting took the silver medal with $210 million, thanks largely to selling his entire catalog to Universal Music Group.

So where did Taylor Swift fall on the list? Pop music’s favorite “Anti-Hero” came in at #9 with $92 million. However, that was without touring! And what’s more, she was the only female to crack the top 10. Bad Bunny took 10^th place with a cool $88 million.

The list has plenty of non-music artists in it too. Here's the full Top 10: 

1. Genesis
2. Sting
3. Tyler Perry
4. Trey Parker & Matt Stone
5. James L. Brooks & Matt Groening
6. Brad Pitt
7. Rolling Stones
8. James Cameron
9. Taylor Swift
10. Bad Bunny
