36. U2
$13.9 MILLION
ON CD U2 get a $12 million payout from Interscope Records just for delivering an album -- which they did last year, with November's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The CD has sold 2 million copies, and a deluxe edition sold another 400,000 (they earn as much as five dollars a unit on the latter). A megabucks tour begins in March.
ON THE SIDE Apple and U2 are reportedly splitting a fifty-dollar markup placed on a U2-branded iPod.
Last year's rank: NA
