Gaga made $52 million in 2011 despite not even being on tour, and now that the BTWB is on way she's bound to make more. It's guaranteed to gross anywhere from $250-400 million. She's also launching a perfume and jewelry line, and will probably have multiple endorsements. Rumors are also circulating that she's gearing for a 2012 release.
She currently has a networth of $150 million, and that's after she gave half her money to Papa Germanotta. How much do you think she'll make?
She's gonna make shitloads from her tour not to mention she might have a new album out by then and her fragrance so I honestly don't think $130M+ is out of the question.
