1. Madonna

Madonna's MDNA tour sold out all 72 of its worldwide dates, raking in a whopping $228,406,085 in grosses. The tour also generated plenty of publicity for the controversy-friendly singer, from superimposing a swastika on the image of French right-wing politician Marine Le Pen, to supporting jailed Russian girl group Pussy Riot, to flashing her nipple at her Istanbul stop and mooning concert goers in Rome, the tour was nothing short of outrageous.
