LADY GaGa says she doesn’t “give a f**k about money”.

The Poker Face hitmaker — who has splashed out a whopping $4m on the North American leg of her Monster Ball tour — insists she is not in the music industry to become rich.

“I spent every dollar I made on my music, my art. Every dollar,” GaGa insisted. “I don’t wait to get budgets from the label. I do it on my own. I don’t give a f**k about money. Unless it’s on the stage, I don’t want it in my hand.

“Pop music is commercial art the way Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans were commercial art. I don’t know why everyone is so against pop music. I love a good chorus – sue me. It’s that f***ing simple.

“My ultimate goal besides making music forever and touring the world over and over and becoming the greatest pop performance art show on the planet? I want a Lady GaGa exhibit at the Louvre.”

GaGa has previously revealed how her over the top shows leave her “bankrupt”.

“I’ve gone bankrupt about four times now,” she said in July last year. “My manager wants to shoot me.

“Every dollar I earn goes on the show. Now we’re finally getting to a place where it’s not bankruptcy.

“Then again, with another tour coming up soon I’ll probably be homeless again.”
