I loooooooooove Oprah. She makes me so proud to be an African American woman, in America. God Bless her.

Beautiful Black Women!

HAHAHAHAHA I am first…I guess you have to be up at 3 am…finishing an essay to be first. Anyways Am I on the list?

Oh no I am not first…my bad pls proceed

GLAD JANET IS MAKIN SOME GOOD ASS MONEY FOR POSING HALF DAMN NAKED

Good job ladies and everyone else who made the list.

I am so Happy for tthese black women, However, where is my girl Whoopi Goldberg. She done hooked up with enough white men to have some dough.
OPEN NOTE: Taj the photographer, please stop trying to get with Bill. That strong black man is for me. I been watching you trying to get his attention. he don’t want you. I’m trying to be nice. Stay in your league queen.

Damn, sounds like some Noah’s Arc drama LOL

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. J.K. Rowling
3. Martha Stewart
4. Madonna
5. Celine Dion
6. Mariah Carey
7. Janet Jackson
8. Julia Roberts
9. Jennifer Lopez
10. Jennifer Aniston
11. The Olsen Twins
12. Britney Spears
13. Judge Judy
14. Sandra Bullock
15. Cameron Diaz
16. Gisele Bundchen
17. Ellen DeGeneres
18. Nicole Kidman
19. Christina Aguilera
20. Renee Zellweger

The List for anyone who didn’t click,hmm we definitely need to get some more sistahs on the list. But all three of them made the top 10 that is great though.

I don’t think Taj was trying to get with Bill. Don’t he be kickin it wit that big booty white dude on myspace? Any Bill ain’t worth fighting over with them corn chip smelling feet

First and foremost, this topic is about successful black women not no sissies. I am so tired of y’all trying to make everything gay. They will do top 100 successful faggots next week. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
DIPSET we in da building (no homos)

Since they have J.K Rowling on the list and she’s from the UK this list means in the WORLD. Wow that is amazing.

That’s very nice. Those 3 women work very hard. We hope to see more in the future making the top 10 or 20.

Damn Oprah and Mariah are PAID!

Thas wassup. See I always knew Janet was in the hundred millions. From her investments with magic johnson etc. she co owns a bank chain with him as well. What I like about her is she never endorsed anything except pepsi and just made good investments. Thats real star power. These current stars are rich by over endorsing themselves and selling thier soul.
Thats why i was upset when i seen negetive remarks about a post when janet was looking for 30 million dollar condos in nyc. Trust me no one will look at prices like that if they werent in the hundred millions cause that would be her fourth crib. She has one on a private celebrity inhabitted island in Miami that you have to fly or take a boat to, one in ATL that was seen on Oprah and another residence in Cali. Now THATS STAR POWER.

@JT, She(Mariah)is about to be even more paid with the fragrance line and 24K gold body lotion she’s coming out with. I think I am going to write to her fan club and ask her to adopt me….

Oh yea I forgot about her lil fragrance line…

Are you a fan JT? and I’ll only wear her perfume if it doesn’t stink I love her but if it stank it stank, I don’t care who it is, I am not walking around stankin for nobody lol >;)

yea a guess u can call me a fan of hers…

We sure are coming up, all dat money, maybe oneday we’ll top the list and become just like the ppl that keep us down (allegedly). I can’t wait, because the more money we acquire, the better off we will be, we have so many examples to back that up.

Well I didn’t agree with the topic change but that comment was not necessary. Don’t be mad cuz you couldn’t keep you suspect nigga at home!!! HAHA!

But after dusting that off my shoulders, I’m glad to at least see three beautiful black women in the top ten making that dough. I would definitely like to see more. Go Mother Oprah, Janet, and Mariah Carey! (all three of which have love for their “faggots” all over the world!) Besos!

LOL, you sound so very enthusiastic JT, it’s ok if you’re a fan of hers don’t be embarassed I am too! lol But if you’re really not it’s still cool, can’t like everyone….

I’m extremely proud of them all. However, I must say that I am most proud of Oprah’s accomplishments simply because she is on the top and never had to take off her top to get there! U Go Big O

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy am i late. I did NOT realise that M. Carey is a BLACK woman!

I am not mad. My sistas are beautiful, successful, driven…I LOVE IT!

i guess that proves mariah is smart with her money afterall….the press always says she wastes it on pink toilet paper, butterflies, and private jets for her dog

I am very proud these ladies made the list. I LOOOOOVE Oprah and anyone who has anything to say negative about her, esp that she isnt doing enough for the urban kids here vs. over in Africa, should check themselves BIG time. Mariah fell off IMO as far as her looks but homegirl still has the vocals. Im over Janet but I must say she looks damn good for her age. Next

I’m glad for them…thats fab!

CONGRATS TO THESE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! KEEP WORKING IT LADIES…

I maybe wrong but I believe the Bob Johnson wife is a female billionaire

I feeling you on that #24

#30
The list is for self-made wealth.
Being a rich man’s wife doesn’t necessarily make YOU rich.

YAY!!! Jusge Judy made the list!!! But HTF did Renee Zellwegger make this list??????????

Janet got 40 year old money. lol

And Mariah, well she deserves to be on the list. That’s one hustling heffa right there. I bet her investment in spandex anf lycra is what got her to the top.

Congrats to the beautiful Oprah Mariah and Janet. Glad to see them in the top ten.

Can I just say that I love all three of those pics up there? Especially the marilyn monroe-esque Janet pic. Our ladies keep doing it big!

I hope this fixes the bolding, please remember to put end tags on your HTML!

No, you’re right. And she’s making more money, so I am not sure how they developed this list, but CONGRATS to Oprah, Janet and Mariah.

I am very proud ot the ladies on the list…Now if they would like to start a trickle down effect to those of us who do not have as much as they do I for one would greatly appreciate it…

BEING A BLACK WOMAN IS A BEAUTIFUL THING - HOWEVER, MANY MORE A CAPABLE OF MAKING THAT LIST!

JANET!?

Ummm, no Tyra? Paris Hilton? Debrah Lee? Beyonce?

Wow.

love OPRAH…and glad to see JANET there…with all her broke ass haters she’s laughing all the way to the BANK

OH - It’s specific to entertainment.

I’m sorry Bob Johnson ex-wife is a female billionaire

Eh HEM!! (Now what was that again about Janet being desperate again??) Is she not the VERY same woman who can pull out her bank book and crush your entire family?

LOL Go sustas, go sustas… go, go, go, go!

@ PoBoi, Tyra already confessed to only being worth something like 18 million.

Paris Hilton can’t qulaify cause it’s not her money. It’s her daddy and granddaddy’s. She has done very little on her own except some watches and a CD that flopped.

Debra Lee? If you’re referring to BETs CEO, she is definitely not bringing in that kind of cake to make the list.

And as far as Beyonce, a great deal of her wealth was generated prior to going solo so maybe she isn’t on the list because she hasn’t done enough on her own to qualify. I don’t think the Fighting Temptations was a smash hit.

And actually, I am suprised Christina A made the list too but I can see her overseas sales pushing her to the top.

GO OPRAH I KNOW THATS RIGHT WOW MARIAH MAKES MORE THAN JANET.

The list is only Forbes listing of the richest female entertainers. So that means if you acquired your wealth by being a rich man’s wife AND you’re classified as an entertainer, you’ll be on the list.

On the other hand, they are not the richest women in the world. People like Queens of countries, or the really rich men’s ex-wives would be on there, or even Cathy Hughes from RadioOne would be on the list, for that matter.

I need a new career.

That’s good that black women are finally getting somewhere. But lets take rewind this a few years back, wasn’t Mariah claiming that she had no black in her? Correct me if I’m wrong. Now she’s black? Umm so confusing. I love her music but honeychild should be proud of what she really is

Mariah has always said that she was half Black, but in the beginning of her career, producer or managers urge her not to talk about it. But anyway I’m proud of them but I’m surprise Tyra Banks isn’t on the list, oh well maybe next year.

I didn’t knew that Mariah was considered as black?

I think Mariah mom is white and her dad is black/white

I’m proud Oprah made her money using her brains and not her body. More power to her!

more on this and others
http://drewnews.blogspot.com

Only two and a half black women made the list!

Mariah = part-time black!

Oprah made hers for serving as the “poster-girl” against male dominance! Somebody had to do it! “Harpo” entertainment!

Janet made hers by putting it all out there for forty years she’s been a stripper, exhibitionist, scandalicious, laundrer, magazine hoe and nepotist. Without the Jackson 5 and her brother Michael, Janet would have never made it out of Indiana or wherever she’s from!

I know I’m hatin! But, I get a little perturbed, because legitimate black women like Whitney, Aretha, Chaka, Whoopie and Diana should also be in the top 20.

We get 2 1/2 out of twenty!

And, to the brothers, thank God for the NBA, NFL, NBL and Tiger Woods!

Developing…!

Aiight for the dollas…..make me want to put on a thong and shake my money maker….maybe I can be kept man!!!

Why are so many people surprised that Tyra Banks ain’t on this list??

Tyra is currently a talk show host, (and with a show that’s moderately successful with ratings that could have her pulled if the network execs get a wild hair up their asses) And the host of a modeling show, that’s doing well, but not fantastic as far as reality shows go. So, she’s doing OK, but her talk show won’t make a 10th of what Oprah talk brings in… and her “Modeling” show is decent, but again, not enough to make her one of the wealthiest women in entertainment.

Modeling just doesn’t pay well enough to make you one of the richest women in entertainment - modeling keeps you living well, but pretty enough to land a rich mf to keep you living BETTER.

That’s wonderful for them! Go on Oprah! #1! Judge Judy?

Black women need to conquer the planet!

i love it….congrats..

Nice. I definitly can’t hate on anybody that can buy me lol

Carrington says….
________________________

You’s a damn lie! Get your hate filled facts together, JANET has been in the entertainment business since she was FIVE, she’s 40 now, so that gives her 35 years in the business, she was WORKING at the same ages you and I BOTH were drawing in coloring books and trying to figure out that the circle wouldn’t fit into the square.

And as far as her being a nepotist? Janet Jackson may have gotten in the DOOR because she was a Jackson, but she REMAINED on the INSIDE because of her OWN hard work and determination, if I’m not mistaken Janet and Micheal Jackson have recorded ONE song together and that’s about it. If being a JACKSON was the key to the kingdom, where the fukk are Jermaine, Tito, Letoya, Taj, Taryl, TJ or any of the other Jackson family members?

And the scandal part, I don’t get either; what “scandal” has Janet been a part of other than ONE incident of flipping out her breast that seems to have erased everything that she’s done for black women (and many whites) in music today?

Magazine hoe? Stripper? Again, 35 years in the business and the first time you even saw her STOMACH was in the 90s… and people lost their minds because they were so upset that she wore pants and dressed from head to toe until “That’s the Way Love Goes” 94… or the last video she did on Rhythm Nation (Love will never do)…

Try again

to meat!
it is all about the times. most people have better contracts then Diana, Aretha or Chaka every had!

Whitney could of been on that list, but she was too busy getting high, with her loser Husband- Bobby Brown!

Janet was always a hard worker. All her tours are sold out. She had two specials on HB0 (Velvet Rope 1998 and the one from Hawaii. She signed an 80 million contract with Virgin Records)

So meat - stop hating and get a life!

“I maybe wrong but I believe the Bob Johnson wife is a female billionaire ”

This list is only people in entertainment and publishing.

First, let’s clear this up: Mariah’s mother is white, and her father is Afro-Venezuelan!! And trust me, I have been a Mariah fan since elementary school, she NEVER NEVER said she wasn’t black, I don’t know where people get that from!!!
People get offended if mixed people don’t shout it from the damn rooftops I AM BLACK! As a mixed person, I consider myself black, but I’m not gonna deny my other heritage either. Nor should she.

Anyway, congrads Oprah! I love her!!!

I agree MaHott! When the hell did that happen? Anyway, Proud of all the ladies! You Go Girls! Surprised that Mariah makes more than Janet though…She probably spent alot on helping her brother

ALL THE YEARS JANET HAS BEEN IN THE BUSINESS HOW IN THE HELL CAN MARIAH HAVE MORE DOUGH THAN HER??? WTF!

Is anyone surprised that Oprah would top the list? She is the epitome of wealth and power!

I’m not surprised about Mariah either because homegirl sells PLATINUM worldwide! We can overlook that Glitter fiasco and see she landed on TOP!

Janet, Janet, Janet! I LOVE this chic! The pic above is HOT! Although people sleep on her, Janet is a smart chic!\

CONGRATS to all these strong, wealthy BLACK WOMEN! I am woman, hear me ROAR!

Y’all have to remember a few things regarding Janet/Mariah.

1) The money is not in singing, it’s in touring, album sales and publishing and in that vein…Mariah is a songwriter, which is where all of the money comes from, her name appears on just about every song that appears on her albums, Janet didn’t do a lot of that.

Oprah tops everything. Go head Mariah and Janet! Looks like Janet’s the ONLY rich Jackson left.

@PhillyLala, damn you said everything I was going to say so I guess I don’t have to anymore(thank you) lol I just knew someone was gonna go there about her being black(or not). I’ve been a fan since I was 4, I’m old and kickin up dust so I better know everything there is to know about her and that seems to be the only thing that really pisses me off is when people say things like “she is only Black when she wants to be”. Call her a ho, fat and a trashy dresser and I could care less, it’s peoples perogative and opinion but to deliberately lie and call her a part time Black is so wrong on so many levels. I guess it would hit home for a person like me and obviously you who is of mixed heritage ( ) because I am sure you’ve had to deal with bullshit like that atleast once in your life.

Go Oprah!!! Now that’s Black Star Power. I see Ms. Spears made the list which proves that all the money in the world can’t buy you class and good taste.
