Lady GaGa’s Monster Ball predicted to gross $200 million

Just when you thought that Lady GaGa couldn’t get anymore successful, Billboard go and officially predict that by the end of it’s April 2011 run, her Monster Ball tour will have grossed around $200 million. She’s not selling out stadiums yet like her contemporary Pink, but it’s quite the accomplishment for an artist with only two studio albums to their name.
The Monster Ball first began back in November 2009, and by May, it had grown so popular that promoter Live Nation had to add an extra North American leg to the tour, extending it into 2011. It’s currently scheduled to wrap up in Atlanta on April 18, 2011, but additional dates are expected to be announced, which could either see GaGa fill her days off with extra shows, extend the tour past April, or do both.
A total gross of $200 million would probably make the Monster Ball one of the most successful female tours in history, by the time it wraps up. Of course, she’ll be dead by then from severe-exhaustion, but at least she’ll always be remembered as she is now — rich and thin.
