Here's the Forbes Article:
The top 20 earners on this year's Cash Kings list racked up about $300 million in earnings, an average of $15 million per artist. Remarkably, the total is roughly the same as last year, despite a troubled economy and a music industry thrown into flux by new technology.

Along with touring, he says, "those are very important components for artists as far as spreading the message of their music and spreading the message of their brand."
