The "Forbes" list of the best earning musicians in the world brought few surprises - apart from Helene Fischer, which, according to the US business magazine with an estimated income of 32 million dollars (28 million euros) rose to the top ten.

Therefore, some international media have tried to explain to their readers who this woman really is. So the British "Guardian" presented the 34-year-old as "Helene Fischer, Schlager Superstar: the richest singer you've never heard of".

The article also states: "The German-Russian star is number eight in Forbes' list of highest paid women in the music industry, directly under Rihanna and via Celine Dion and Britney Spears, Helene Fischer.

Helene Fischer: "The richest singer you've never heard of"

The author then tries to answer the question - with moderate success: "Reading extensive interviews only shows that she loves butter and was surprised when her friend, a German television personality, tattooed her face on her arm."

Fischer writes that the 34-year-old Fischer is a superstar of the German hit music scene, a sound that goes in two directions: the first is a kind of beer hall swivel that deals with questions about alcohol, women and Fischer embodies the opposite: the faithful woman whose heart falls silent from breathlessness when she thinks of her devoted husband and shows her feminine weakness to address his protective instincts. "

US singer Katy Perry leads the ranking with $ 83 million. The benchmark for this is the estimated income between June 2017 and June 2018. During this period, Fischers fell, according to "Forbes" "phenomenally successful" tour, in which she had earned seven-figure earnings per performance. The European "superstar" is not as well-known as the American female members of the list, but earns more than most US divas, wrote the magazine.

New York's "Paper" magazine also asked, "Wait, who is Helene Fischer?"

"Fischer is a German pop star," was the answer. "A quick Google search reveals so much, but when I wanted to learn more about it this morning, I had more questions than answers."

"Niche Europop-country hybrid"

"Any biographical detail that is available strongly indicates that she was unlikely to achieve her tremendous financial success against great probabilities - first, she was born in Siberia, Siberia!"

Fischer's music genre is Schlager, a "niche Europop-Country-Hybrid". And she has "only 556,000 Instagram followers, which is impressive, but no comparison with Katy Perry's 73.5 million."

Then it becomes shortly pathetic: "It is the job of America, to learn more about Fischer, not the other way around." This woman is one of the most powerful pop stars in the world! It was modeled by Madame Tussauds in Berlin from wax And she's with German hit musician Florian Silbereisen, who looks good in leather pants. "

The article ends with the words, "Congratulations, Helene, for making it onto the Forbes list, Celine and Britney, more luck next year."
