 Pop diva Madonna has grabbed No. 1 position on Billboard's top moneymakers of 2008. She has earned 242.2 million dollars. She had the 50th-best-selling album in the country and ranked 14th on the list of digital track sellers but had the highest-earning 2008 tour.
Sources have thrown more light on the news of Madonna. On the money makers list she was followed by Bon Jovi with $157.2 million, Bruce Springsteen ($156.3 million), the Police ($110 million), Celine Dion ($99.2 million), Kenny Chesney ($90.8 million), Neil Diamond ($82.2 million), Rascall Flatts ($63.5 million), Jonas Brothers ($62.6 million) and Coldplay ($62.2 million).
According to Billboard Boxscore top-five moneymakers earned the most on tour.
Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour took in $229.9 million at the box office, though the excessive production might have cost up to 40 percent of that gross. This is inferred as per industry estimates. The margin is much better on tour merchandise, where Madonna probably collected over 18 million dollars in sales, not counting her licensing business.
