There’s no surprise as to who tops this Forbes’ list of top-earning celebrities under 30 in 2016.

The pop star also sold nine million copies of the album worldwide.

Click through the gallery to see how other young stars fared in 2016.

The list takes into account earnings between June 1, 2015 and until the following year. The numbers do not take into account management fees and taxes. All figures in U.S. dollars.

Celebrities whose 30th birthdays occurred after June 1 were included in the list.
