American singer, Madonna tops the list of America's richest female musicians in 2017 that's just been released by Forbes.

Madonna reigns with a whooping $580 million. Forbes reports that her Rebel Heart tour, which ended in March 2016, grossed $170million.

She's closely followed by Celine Dion who comes in second position with $400 million while Barbra Streisand clinches the third position with $390 million.

Beyonce comes in 4th position with $350 million as her last year’s Lemonade album and the Formation World Tour reportedly grossed a quarter of a billion dollars. 

Taylor Swift completes the list of the top 5 with $280 million largely due to the success of her 1989 tour, which smashed North American touring records.
