forbes’ 2013 list of highest earning us celebrities under 30

Lady Gaga has topped Forbes magazine's poll of the top earning celebrities under the age of 30.

The singer made an estimated $80 million (£52 million) in the last year, with the magazine estimating that she would have earned even more if she had not been forced to cancel part of her world tour to have hip surgery. Last year Gaga was fourth in the list behind Taylor Swift, who topped the poll in 2012.

Justin Bieber is in second place again this year with an estimated worth of $58m (£38m). Meanwhile Taylor Swift has dropped to third place with $55m (£36m), Calvin Harris is at fourth with $46m (£30m) and Rihanna is fifth with $43m (£28m).

 The list is compiled by speaking to agents, managers, producers and executives to work out the entertainment-related income of celebrities between June 2012 and June 2013. It does not include tax deduction, agent fees, or other costs of being a celebrity.

The Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence is the highest entry on the list not to work in the music industry. She is placed at number seven, with earnings of $26m (£17m).
