Each 1D Member Made More Money Than Rihanna Did in 2014
Billboard released their annual list of the highest-paid musicians of the previous year with some interesting factoids buried inside.
At No. 1 is One Direction who made a whopping $46 million last year. It's a huge jump for the band who last year were ranked at No. 13 in the riches categories. The guys earned an incredible $40.7 million from touring, $4.1 million from music sales, $681,100 from streaming and $517,000 from their publishing.
Even when you split the guys' earnings by five, each 1D dude makes $9.2 million which is more than Rihanna (at No. 32 on the list with $8.3 million), Pink (No. 36 with $7 million) and Tom Petty (No. 40 with $6.7 million). And you thought Rihanna was rich, psssh.
