Lady GaGa has been named the highest-earning female music artist of 2011.

The ‘Marry the Night’ singer tops the annual list compiled by financial magazine Forbes, which says Gaga’s earned up to ninety-million-dollars in the past 12 months – that figure’s based on sales of Born This Way, her ‘Monster Ball’ tour and a number of endorsement deals.

Adele’s entered the list for the first time in her career following the international success of her album 21, which has sold over 12 million copies this year.

Katy Perry sits at Number three with forty-four-million banked, but it sounds like she’s not planning on making more money next year – Katy’s revealed she plans to take a break instead of rushing back into the studio to record a third studio album.
