Oprah, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson just so happen to be the the richest black women in entertainment.
Forbes released their list for “The 20 Richest Women In Entertainment”, which compiled a group of musicians, actresses, and authors in a list from wealthy to – well, pretty much close to wealthy. These three successful ladies landed the top ten…
Of course the ‘Big O’ topped the list with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion – being the first and only black female billionaire. Mariah ranked number 6 with $225 million, with Janet right behind at number 7 with $150 million.
Sistas are sure enough doing it for themselves these days with those figures…
#234
Mariah put out nine albums in the 90s
(and for the record, the lowest-selling one sold over 10 million copies worldwide)
M. Carey ain’t black, f-ck Oprah (big up Killer Mike), yay for Janet.
#236 PREACH!!!
and our names are really similar “great minds think alike”
You can tell who are the STANS are. They look for their obsession (entertainer of choice) to be brought up whose names who aren’t even mentioned in the post. Sad, I tell you, just sad.
To Rena:
Go back to the link you posted for Beyonce on the Forbes list and read the fine print honey. You will see that, thats what she earned from 2003-2004. You can’t be serious she’s been getting money for writting since Bills Bills Bills days their’s no way she’s only has $23mil. Like I said I read she was listed as having a net worth of $60mill years ago she’s gotta be worth much more than that now. And Stripped did not out sell DIL check the facts and figures again.
Stripped DID outsell DIL
Get your facts right honey
If she was worth more than that right now, she’d be on the list
To the left stans. To the left
#241 mariah put out 7 albums during the 90′s and had a single chart every year of the 90′s from 1990-99
1990: Mariah Carey
1991: Emotions
1993: Music Box
1994: Merry Christmas
1995: Daydream

Janet released 3
1993: janet. – 8 million copies
1995: Design of a Decade 1986/1996 – 3.7 million

I’m a mariah fan as well as a janet fan but i’m glad janet pick quality over quanity because mariah is known to have about 2 great singles from each album followed by filler, great filler but nonetheless filler.
You as*holes would you all get off of Beyonce!? I mean no matter how anyone cries or pleads to God, she is NOT ON THE LIST!! Shes more paid than you or me thats for damn sure, but sometimes its about WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR MONEY, not HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE. Thats the problem with America! Get your head out of your own ass or better yet Beyonce’s and do something with your broke asses, other wise you wont be making ANY list’s-just like your girl B. Just earn, shut up, save, shut up, and STFU!!!!!!!!!!!
#241 I’m afraid u’re wrong

1990: Mariah Carey
1991: Emotions

1993: Music Box
1994: Merry Christmas
1995: Daydream
1997: Butterfly
1998: #1s
1999: Rainbow
add ‘em up…it cant be that hard
and btw who the hell r u to say what is or isnt quality???
How did you all start talking about SWSNBN? Her fans think she should be on the list lol?
As much as we see her you would think she would be in the top 10. She’s not even in the top 20. But she’s working on it. Ain’t that right Camelman.
Stripped DID outsell DIL not by a lot but it did.
THe least amount someone on the list is 45 mil and if Beyonce was worth more than that she would’ve been on there and Beyonce did not write Bills Bills Bills.Kandi and Shek’speare Briggs did and you call yourself a fan…shame on you.
Not even talking about music quality here. In spite of Janet’s nymphomania (no man on here is mad about that!) and nip flashing, she still seems classier to me than Mariah. Mariah goes around with her size 12-14 self in a size 2-4 outfit. She always looks like streetwalker barbie on crack, gut all hanging out. It makes me not want to listen to her music. Janet isn’t exactly queen of style, but I appreciate the fact that she dresses in the neighborhood of her own dress size. No one needs to see stuff spilling out of your clothes. Whatever your size, dress it!
#224 @Carrington in Houston said: “…I too am a hoe.”
Finally, the truth comes out! We could have avoided this discussion if you would have just admitted right from the start that you too were a hoe. That explains why you relate to other hoes so well!
Now, I didn’t call you a hoe…you said you were one! Actually, I think this is where the healing begans…when you admit that you are hoeing with another man or woman!
There is still hope for you! God loves you irregardless to your sinful lifestyle! I can’t say the same for Janet, because she seems bent on continuing with her lifestyle! Especially, the porn!
#225
@ms_mac, you’re starting to catch on! I was beginning to wonder when you would see the triviality of this discussion!
I will address two issue you raised:
1. You said: “…What sense does it make to call a celeb a name if you don’t know them?”
Well, I don’t know Janet personally, but I do know what she has stated publicly! She has gone on record saying that JD has given her the best sex that she has ever had! Now listen to me ms_mac, I don’t know where you come from, but where I come from, those are the words of a hoe if she’s not married to JD! I didn’t make this up! Janet and JD put it out there! If Janet displays her naked body, she’s an exhibitionist! If Janet tells me she has sex with a man or woman and I know she’s not married…she’s a hoe! If Janet got her foot in the door from her brothers success, she’s nepotistic! If Janet hoards her money and spends it on herself, she a philander!
Don’t try to make it seem that people are “casting the first stone at Janet!” Janet casted the first stone herself when she put her business out there! I’ve said nothing about her that she hasn’t said about herself!
If Janet says, “I shot my arrow into the bird”, why am I foolish or wrong for saying that she was “hunting”? If Janet says, “I’m having good sex with JD, why am I foolish or wrong for saying that she’s was hoeing? I think I know the definition of the words “hunting and hoeing”!
OMT, I will go on record as saying that it will be easier for a camel to traverse the needles eye than for these rich women to enter IN!
And, the tooth and nail fight…well, sometimes it takes a good toe2toe response to shed light! Even you have shown some remarkable change in your thinking since you started publishing and getting noticed on CL! You’re almost there! When God gets through, you’ll come through like pure gold!
Now, let me drop one more H-bomb! Oprah and her all girl school reminds me of Michael Jackson and his Never Never Land! Just like he created the perfect enviornment to lure little boys, Oprah has set up shop in South Africa that will allow her to traverse in and out without notice of reprisial! (wordy hehe!)
She and gail can go over to SA and lay up without interuption! African women have a long history of keeping silent! These young girls know the deal! Remember, all Michael want to do was share his bed and snuggle! Oprah just wants to be there on “girls night” to console and snuggle!
And, how dare Oprah point her nasty Gail ridden fingers at American school children saying all they want are tennis shoes and video games, but when you ask the Africans…they want uniforms to go to school! That is so wrong! Shows how arrogant she’s become! Insensitive heffa!
“Small wonder that a man in prison could want intimacy more than his own freedom!” That one will hit you sometime on Wednesday! lol
Developing…!
YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY ON CONCRETELOOP!
Meat, why are you picking on me? lol
You are too much. That made my day.
Wow this is funny how did a certain singer get in this post when this is not about her?, then the same fans get upset when her nonfans go to her post and and write something that they dislike. now this is something
I love it!!!! Congrats ladies.
I meant #247 in my post up there!!^^^^
Since when is Mariah Carey black….or when has she identified herself as such. I’m tired of Black people accepting half-assed attempts to somehow make us feel important. We’ll stick with “O” and Janet, and leave Mariah and her crazy a** backstage popping anti-depressants. She can sing, great voice, but she is not black…and neither is Halle Berry y’all…stop the madness!
#249
i didn’t count #1′s because it’s a greatest hits compliation even though it has two NEW songs but if you wanna get technical so was Janet’s Design of a Decade.
I didn’t Count the Unplugged because it’s not a studio album and i was refering to studio albums.
I said in my post that as both a mariah and janet fan i believe that mariah puts alot of filler on her albums. Good filler but nonetheless filler. I rather wait 3 years for an entire album of great songs than 1 year for another album with 2 radio singles and 8 album tracks!
Who the hell am I you say? Well I’m a consumer of Music, who has the right to express my beliefs on the quality of mariahs albums.Read any review of a mariah album from any music magazine and the MAJORITY will tell you that mariah KNOWN for making great filler.
MARIAH MADE 6 STUDIO ALBUMS IN THE 90′S WITH 2GREATEST HITS/LIVE ALBUMS
JANET MADE 2 STUDIO ALBUMS IN THE 90′S WITH 1 GREATEST HITS COMPLIATION.
uhhh Meat:
Janet also says how much she loves JD in each of her interviews and wants to have a family with him. she isn’t sleeping around. she has been wit one man (who isn’t cute at all) for wat like 6 years. how is that bein a hoe? some of yall need to stop judging people
I don’t know about you but hummm Mariah is NOT BLACK so please …
I don’t know about you but hummm Mariah is NOT BLACK so please … I mean ok maybe she is rich but ” the richest BLACK women ” I can not agree this for Mariah …
#261
the compilations n such count because they are account for some of her record sales and, thus, some of her wealth (which jus so happens to be greater than janet’s)
and again, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO SAY WHAT IS QUALITY AND WHAT ISNT?
if u dont like somethin, jus say u dont like instead of labeling it as having less quality
Christina’s ‘Stripped’ was released in 2002 and was certified 4Xplat in 2005. Beyonce’s ‘Dangerously In Love’ was released in 2003 and certified 4Xplat in 2004.
Beyonce was listed as making $23 mil in 2004, so that means she has definitely made over that amount and it’s believable she’s worth upwards of $60 mil.
