Sir Elton John might have not endorsed it, but Madonna's Re-Invention tour closed the year in the #1 slot cashing in $125 million in total box office gross by the time it wrapped up in September. According to Billboard Boxscore, Madonna sold out 55 of 56 shows worldwide, with an average nightly take of $2.23 million (which can be easily explained by the $250 all of us suckers paid for our tickets).
Prince's Musicology tour drew nearly 1.5 million people, more than any other artist, and grossed $90.2 million, second only to Madonna. Shania Twain came in third by grossing $62.5 million. If Celine Dion's residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Vegas counted as a "tour", her $77 million in gross sales would have placed her higher than fellow-diva Shania .
