The "Poker Face" singer came in at number seven with earnings of £40.5m last year.
The 24-year-old became one of the highest earners thanks to a string of number one singles in Britain and America and a sold-out worldwide tour. Lady Gaga, whose hits include "Paparazzi" and "Bad Romance", came just behind Jay-Z who grossed £41.1m and ahead of Madonna who earned £37.9m.

U2 were named the highest-earning band on the planet over the last year. The Irish legends, who have been staging their groundbreaking 360 tour performing under a giant "claw", were estimated to have raked in $130 million (£84.9m), according to Forbes.com, including ticket and merchandise sales and a steady-selling back catalogue. Despite their huge success, Bono's bad back has disrupted some of the band's concert plans, including being forced to pull out of playing this year's Glastonbury Festival.

Heavy metal group AC/DC, folk rocker Bruce Springsteen and Material Girl Madonna – whose songs have been featured on the hit sitcom Glee – also appeared highly in the round-up, showing experience counts.

Beyoncé Knowles beat her hip hop star husband Jay-Z, when she came in third.

Despite a turbulent few years, comeback Queen Britney Spears was in fifth place, with her earnings put at 64 million dollars (£41.8m).

Coldplay came in equal 10th place, thanks to money made while still touring in support of their 2008 album Viva La Vida. Here are the top earning musicians of 2010 and the amounts they are estimated to have made according to Forbes. com:

1. U2 – 130 million dollars (£84.9m)

Perry Farrell remembers Lady Gaga's 2007 set at Lollapalooza, a sweaty, Saturday-afternoon affair that saw the then-brunet, yet-to-conquer-the-globe Gaga parade around in little more than a disco-ball bra and thigh-high stockings. He was impressed, but needless to say, he never thought he'd see the day she'd be headlining the fest.

"I remember ... she's got dark-brown hair, she's in a bikini, and she's wearing thigh-highs and she's sweating, because she was on at around 3 o'clock," Farrell told MTV Radio. "Her music was cool, her show was kind of cool, but now, the production of her music, the people she's surrounded herself with, the development of her stage show ... it's something that, when I think about Lollapalooza, in that gorgeous setting of [Chicago's] Grant Park, with the amazing buildings all around us, lit up, I see her and her show as being a centerpiece to the evening."

Yes, from side-stage curiosity to mainstage must-see, Gaga has come a long way in three short years, and Farrell — who's already said that Lollapalooza will spend six figures to accommodate her massive Monster Ball stage — sees it as his obligation to help her continue on that climb. But he's hoping the Lolla crowds won't just focus on her stage show. After all, her music is pretty great too.

"Her presentation is so overwhelming that some may overlook the music ... but the truth is, her music, to me, is right where music should be. It's on the cutting edge, but it's [also] in the crosshairs of where every musician is aiming these days," he said. "She's this hybrid of Yoko Ono, sort of the Plastic Ono Band meets Madonna meets Elton John. She's this beautiful crossing of those things [that] every musician is looking to find. Everyone's looking for that sound, and I think she really hits it."

And though he realizes that not all Lolla fans are necessarily "little monsters," he also hopes they'll be won over by her set. After all, that's sort of what Lollapalooza has been doing since it first started back in 1991: introducing kids to new artists, new scenes and, most importantly, new sounds.

"We're going to help her deliver it, just the way we did in 1991, when people didn't go to rap concerts because they might be considered very dangerous," he said. "[Back then,] a lot of those kids who went to Lollapalooza might not have seen Ice-T, but then, there he was. Same with Ice Cube. And that's one of the things I guess I could say I pride myself in: I'm able to bring music that people are very curious about, and once they meet this music, they'll really dig it."

The ‘Alejandro’ singer has reportedly taken an interest in a 7.5 acre eight-bathroom English Country-style estate in the Hamptons area of New York, close to a property owned by her idol Madonna.

According to the New York Times newspaper, the property, which was vuilt this year also boasts a restored 18th century barn alongside the 9,353- square-foot, shingle-style main residence, a carriage house and a recreational pavilion.

The house boasts extensive recreational facilities, including a sauna, pool, gym and sunken tennis court, as well as lavish media and wine rooms. A spokesperson for the singer dismissed the claims, while the real estate broker for the property refused to comment.

In February, Madonna splashed out on a farm and the agricultural rights to 24 acres of land surrounding the property, which is very close to the property Gaga has been looking at.

As well as the New York estate, it was revealed earlier this week that the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker is splashing out $25,000 a month to rent a house.

The ‘Paparazzi’ singer is renting a $5 million mansion in the affluent Bel Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles. According to reports, the multi-bedroom property comes with one acre of grounds, a huge swimming pool and boasts stunning views across Hollywood and the Pacific Ocean.

But with Gaga, who recently rekindled her relationship with ex-boyfriend Luc Carl – on tour until April 2011, the house will be sitting empty for some time.

When Lady Gaga took the stage at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night, she managed not to discuss the town's recently departed superstar LeBron James. But she did announce sold-out crowd that earlier in the day, she had written a brand-new song that was destined to be a hit.

"I wrote a #1 record in Cleveland," she told her throngs of little monsters, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, adding that she had skipped a private tour of the city's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to work on the song in her tour bus recording studio.

Earlier in the day, she took to her Twitter account to proclaim the same thing, writing, "Emerging from studio coma. Voted no visit to RockNRoll Hall of Fame, rather write a hit that puts me in it." Gaga didn't actually play the song in question, but she did rip through a rousing version of "You and I," the new song she premiered at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last month and has been performing at Monster Ball stops ever since. In theory, it's all leading up to Gaga's much-anticipated new album, which, according to a recent Rolling Stone interview, is totally finished but won't be released until "early next year." Gaga also told the magazine that she plans on getting the title of the album tattooed on her body and then releasing the photo at midnight on New Year's Eve.

Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton all have successful perfume lines so why can't Lady Gaga? The "Telephone" singer is reportedly launching her own fragrance later this year. The scent will reportedly be an "extremely unusual" fragrance and will be put out with Coty, who also make Kate Moss' brand of perfume. The 24-year-old pop singer is known for her unique sense of style and wacky antics so it would be interesting to see how her alleged fragrance will turn out. Considering that she is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, we imagine that her fragrance will do quite well. Would you want to smell like Gaga?

Lady Gaga is no stranger to fusing fashion and fuzzy creatures, famously rocking an Animal skirt last year. But it looks like the outrageous singer is trading in her Muppets for another childhood favorite: Hello Kitty! On Tuesday night’s episode of Bravo’s Double Exposure, Lady Gaga took Hello Kitty to a sexy new level while shooting the 35th Anniversary campaign for the character. At the London shoot, the songstress dons this gown adorned with stuffed Hello Kitty dolls–and that’s not all. From sky-high Hello Kitty-covered pumps to a bedazzled Kitty belt, Gaga adds her own sexy touch to the girly cat.
