According to ForbesMagazine;

The 55-year-old diva earned $125 million from June 2012 to May 2013 thanks to her highly-successful MDMA Tour.
The tour, which grossed $305 million, was able to carry the singer all the way to the bank, despite lackluster album sales and the inability of her single Give Me All Your Luvin to chart in any significant way.
The publication states that it ‘took into account concert ticket sales, royalties for recorded music and publishing, merchandise sales, endorsement deals, and other business ventures.’
