The Highest Paid Musicians of 2019

Billboard recently released a list of the highest-paid musicians of 2019. This list blew me away with how much these artists made last year. Keep in mind, these numbers are based on how much they made from their music endeavors and nothing else. The numbers were determined from sales, streaming, publishing, and touring.
Many of these artists had massive tours last year, which was a great chunk of their income. Obviously, some artists technically made more with other business ventures, but from a sole music perspective, these are the highest-paid musicians of 2019:
