Adele takes the second place as she had reportedly earned $69 million.

Taylor Swift ranked down to third place. She allegedly earned $44 million. Although she surpassed Parton’s spot on the list, she is no longer considered a country star since she has shifted genres.

The last three spots were taken by Celine Dion, having earned $42 million from her Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez with $38 million from her new TV show, World of Dance, as well as her Las Vegas residency, and lastly, Parton takes the final spot with her earnings racking up to $37 million.
