Lady Gaga Lawsuit Reveals 'Born This Way' Made $423 Million

Lady Gaga just defeated a lawsuit by French artist Orlan claiming the pop star plagiarized her work, but some of the smaller details of the case may be more interesting to the public.

Known as a "carnal artist," Orlan claimed that Born This Way-era Gaga copied her performance pieces claiming, for example, that Gaga's bony look during the album promotions were a rip-off of a performance piece where Orlan surgically embedded cheek bones in her head. Saying the inspiration went too far, Orlan wanted 7.5 percent of the $31.7 million the album made in royalties. That little figure means Born This Way made nearly $423 million in royalties... a large chunk of which would go to Gaga as she wrote or co-wrote every song. Now, that's "Money Honey."
