Rockers Bon Jovi and country singer Toby Keith take the third and fourth spot in the list, with Coldplay occupying the fifth place.
The top ten was rounded out by Justin Bieber ($58 million), Taylor Swift ($55 million) and Elton John ($54 million), followed by Beyonce Knowles and Kenny Chesney, both of whom brought home $53 million each.
The tour, which grossed $305 million, was able to carry the singer all the way to the bank, despite lackluster album sales.
