Madonna isn’t called a “Material Girl” for nothing. Here’s a breakdown of what she’s poised to pocket in 2012 — it could be as much as $500 million in one year alone.

- $300 million from her MDNA World Tour. Live Nation announced $240 Million in ticket sales before a South American leg was added, which could earn an additional $40 million-plus. An Australian leg of the tour is being announced shortly.

- Industry insiders say $75 million in tour merchandise sales is not unlikely. This has always been a huge moneymaker for Madonna, who will have an even bigger spread of merchandise available at her upcoming shows.

- $60 million is expected in sales for her new perfume, Truth or Dare, according to Women’s Wear Daily.

- Insiders report that Madonna made $10 million from her recent deal with Smirnoff. The company has been hyping her tour with TV spots and has just released a special “Madonna” edition bottle of their vodka.

- The Queen of Pop is hoping to rake in $10 million in TV and DVD worldwide rights for the broadcast of her upcoming tour.

- Retail experts say Madonna will earn $5 million in 2012 from her “Material Girl” clothing line and upcoming Macy’s lingerie line.

It’s good to be Queen!

Who said she was flopping! :lol: Madonna will always benefit from something somehow!

Got to pay that mortgage off somehow...

It's interesting they didn't mention her record sales for MDNA and the W.E. DVD sales.

Are there any W.E. dvd sales? LOL.

Are there any W.E. dvd sales? LOL.

This is exactly what I was going to say before I was called away from the computer. DAMMIT JARK.

 

$500 million in one year seems a LOT. I have never heard of anyone earning that much in one year!

Of course there is she MUST be getting something out of them. It's already on sale in North America.

The tour ticket sales of $240 million is sitting in trust accounts earning more dollars.

SHE herself won't actually pocket $500 million though, but to earn it through her various ventures is pretty astonishing all the same. I'd imagine revenue from CD/DVD sales are fairly minimal at this stage, but EVERY LITTLE HELPS and all that.

There's a big difference between sales & profit...

Of course she won't pocket $500m but I'm sure she will get a pretty good deal out of it.

If I recall correctly, she got something like $80 million of what she made off the back of S&S, which was around $500 million all.

If that's true that about a million per show.
