Madonna, 49, is the richest woman in music over the last year. Her one-time makeout partner, Britney Spears, came in 14th despite doing very little work!   

Despite being insane and doing nothing but go to Rite-Aid and parade around in no pants, Britney Spears ranked an impressive 14th on the list, earning $8 million from old hits, royalties and sales of her fragrances, etc.

Following Britney Spears: Carrie Underwood and Nelly Furtado ($7 million each), and Fergie, Jennifer Lopez and Sheryl Crow ($6 million each).
