They have youth, beauty, talent – and tons and tons of cash.
Female pop singers led by Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Lady Gaga dominate the latest Forbes magazine ranking of highest-paid celebrities under 30 years old.
Overall, girls garnered six of the coveted spots on the Top 10 list and four of the top five positions.
Swift, 22, beat out teen heartthrob Justin Bieber for top honors, earning an estimated $57 million for the year ending in May.
Justin Bieber snagged second place with $55 million.
Each of the Grammy-winning singer’s three albums has gone platinum at least four times, and the “You Belong With Me” singer rakes in $1 million per concert on top of her lucrative CoverGirl cosmetics contract, Forbes said.
Bieber, 18, snagged second place with $55 million earned from music sales, sold-out concerts and endorsements for products like the skincare line Proactiv.
The Canadian crooner, whose video for the breakout ballad “Baby” is the second most watched on YouTube, also boasts an enviable investment portfolio with stakes in the popular start-up companies Tinychat and Spotify, Forbes said.

Rihanna, 24, edged out last year’s first place winner Lady Gaga, 26, for third place with $53 million.
The Barbados-born singer earned her impressive haul from her recent “Talk That Talk” album, an 85-night concert tour and endorsement deals with Vita Coco coconut water and Nivea lotion.
Gaga dropped to fourth place this year because the list’s May deadline hit before she embarked on her latest world tour, Forbes said.
The “Poker Face” singer earned an estimated $52 million, down from $90 million a year earlier.
Singers Katy Perry, 27, and Adele, 24, came in fifth and sixth with estimated earnings of $45 million and $35 million respectively.

“Twilight” actress Kristen Stewart, rapper Lil Wayne and “Twilight” actors Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattison rounded out the list with earnings between $26.5 million and $34.5 million.
“We’re seeing this confluence of talented young female stars. They have such distinct personalities and sounds, they can all co-exist without cannibalizing each other,” list author Dorothy Pomerantz told the Daily News.
Pomerantz said Swift embodies “youth, innocence and the struggle of being a teen” while Rihanna is the “edgy bad girl” and Adele is all about stripped-down “heartfelt” vocals.

She said young female singers also tend to benefit from bigger endorsement contracts in the areas of beauty, health and fashion.
This year’s list did not include athletes as it has in the past.
“Athletes are at the height of their career when they’re under 30, so they tend to earn a lot more,” Pomerantz said. “We do a lot of athlete lists, so we wanted this list to focus on Hollywood and entertainment.”
