According to POLLSTAR, which is well known for ranking the Top 25 Worldwide Tours for 2011, Rihanna is the Queen of the R&B Pack with $90M in ticket sales. She wrapped up another tour and went on her LOUD tour for 6 months all this year.
U2 was the #1 grossing act with $231M and Taylor Swift grossed over $104M. While these aren't the amounts the celebrities get to take home themselves, they definitely get a great amount of it after their crews, management and third party promotion companies are all paid.
Sade brought in $83 million dollars, followed by Usher with $59M and The Throne (which only toured a little over 2 months) with $48M.

In addition to her concert tour, RiRi dropped her sixth album “Talk That Talk” and was recently embroiled in a nasty exchange of words with the editor-in-chief of a Dutch magazine, which subsequently led to her resigning her post.
