New York Madonna is the richest woman in music.
The 49-year-old entertainer leads Forbes.com's list of the Top 20 Cash Queens of Music, earning 72-million dollars between June 2006 and June 2007.
Forbes says the pop star's "Confessions'' world tour pulled in 260-million dollars. She also made money from album sales and her fashion line.
Madonna also bulked up her bank account from a deal with N-B-C to broadcast her concert performance at London's Wembley Stadium.
Forbes.com says it compiled the list by examining concert grosses, merchandising revenue, album sales and other revenue from clothing lines, fragrance deals and endorsements.
Barbra Streisand is Number Two on the one-year income list with 60-million dollars, thanks to her comeback tour of North America and Europe.
Celine Dion ranked third during the same period with income of 45-million dollars.
