I know Jigga & Diddy have been on that list a few times, no?

*correction…(after looking)…they HAVENT. I looked at the lists from 2004 till recent. Interesting. A big WOO! to Lebron being on it since 2004.

“Give me some” as TI said to the charter NuNu in ATL at the roller rink.

Jay makes more than them??? Wow!!! Major kudos to him. Damn, Bee. You’re a lucky girl.

Wow Jay Z makes more than Donald Trump and Spielberg!? wtf is that…

this is about POWERFUL CELEBS NOT RICH, this has to do with clout i believe because Bill Gates is the richest in the world and is not on the list.

Im curious to see what JayZ gonna being doin with his fortune for the community in the future say 20yrs from now

actors, musicians, athletes! Hello, Donald Trump is none of the above! But Kudos to Jay!

Exactly #6. The factors that take into account making & ranking on this list are income, Google hits, magazine covers & press.

This is the breakdown of the ranking of those who made the list by income.

exactly #9 i just saw on tv that internet and television presence is also a huge factor, is beyonce on the list, is she not as big as we think she is??

Them boyz is bankin…….

Swizz let’s his “Top Down”, Chrisette Michele and Will I. Am are going to “Be Ok” and find out where you can pay your respects to Stack Bundles…all this and more only at http://www.YOUHEARDTHATNEW.com

Beyonce’s not on this list. She was #19 in 2004.

#4 & 5. Spielburg’s reported pay is $110 million

WOW, SEXY, BLACK, AND RICH………

i can’t hate…congrats even though i’m not a p diddy fan at all

Wow.. that’s amazing.. who have taught ?! btw where is bill gates @ ?

I thought 50 would be higher on the list. Tianna stated that he made $100 million from the vitamin water…wasn’t it $400 million?

can I get Oprah to send me some money please

Wooooah Oprah

@ MIKA, either the $400 million were not accurate (official sources’ fault, not CL’s, cause all the sites reported the same amount), or they changed the contract :

http://www.singersroom.co...tertainment-story-881.asp

SCREW THEM, OPRAH YOU BETTA WORK!!!

Im happy for everybody on the list….but I did not know Jay was bankin like that

Oprah will not be giving away money unless its taxable! Stop sleeping on O ya’ll she’s not all that great. Congrats to all of those who made it though ?? I guess.

Can’t knock the hustle. Good look Jigga.

Stop hating on Oprah, besides my mom that woman is my hero! More than half the people on that list isn’t giving the kind of bank she is. And hell, with a half a billy in her account, she needs those tax breaks.

Gone heah Oprah with your bad self.

@ 24 This is a public blog I will say what I damn well please! So what if you dontlike it?? There’s nothing you can do about it! so kick rocks.. Just b/c she’s your inspiration does not means she mines.

Have a lovely day

Another list, of the same people, in different order. Wake me up when I’m on there.

LOL of course Jigga on there, dude just big I guess.He protect what he has I see and he sure does do a good job with it, keep them trophies while you can Jigga.

BIG UPS to all my fellow African American men and women doing big things. God Bless!

I’m just glad to see black people doing big things & making that paper..shoot

Black star power at its finest! Oprah is my hero!

@20 Bashy Not both of dem just Diddy wit his sexy ass!

tammy I see alot of that shit! I have not been in here in a minute how da hell can u make a person shut up on a damn blog! A public blog?

Oprah, please adopt me!!!

I WENT AND LOOKED AT THE LIST, AND I KNOW IT’S GOTTA BE WAYYYY MORE ARTIST AND ACTORS/ACTRESS THAN THAT TO BE ON FORBES. JAY-Z, DIDDY, WILL AND OPRAH AINT THE ONLY ONE’S WITH MONEY.

Who should Oprah give away her money to? You? She does enough charitable work. So, stop hating! I’m sure she has been in the biz long enough to say no to all those “cousins” who come out of the woodwork needing help!

And…making sure her donations are tax deductible is called smart business practices, so again, stop hating.

@#14 No I saw on the news he only got $100 million not $400 million and the reason 50 is not higher because he has no power the list dosen’t just go by money.

@LadyGame is not just about who has the most money. Its about who has money and who is the most powerful.

CONGRATS TO THEM!!!!!

@ 35 I will nicely direct your ass to post #25 read on my sister/brotha! BTW the word hater is tired and played out! I have no reason to hate I speak on how I feel about someone. Just b/c I dont see Oprah as you see her Im hating?? fuck outta here! And at the end of the day I stll feel the same way so did you really have a point?? NO ..so get over it and move on …Its my opinion and I will voice it !!!!!!!!!

Anyone one of those folks can slide me a cool mill and not even miss it.

What they tryin to be twins or something

Thanks for that link. I think Angelina Jolie had better watch out…she’s ranked at #13 across the board. Talk about a bad omen…

THAT PIC OF JAY IS VERY REMINISCENT OF A YOUNGER JAY-Z. I LOVE THAT MAN!

Kudos to Oprah for topping the list! Maybe Diddy would have more money in his pocket if he would stop those lavish parties. Brotha, you don’t have to have suede invites to make it a hot party.

Yeeeeiii, i’m happy for these rich pple (in a sarcastic tone).

Damn, this lists is a trip. I see J-lo, Janet Jackson, and a few others have fell the fuck off. But I’m not surprised Beyonce is not on the list, she’s all smoke and mirrors anyway. I guess spending alot on marketing and promotion, and having your record label buy tons of your own cd is costly; it costs to save face and not have your project considered a flop. And i guess it dont pay spending your own money to try to resurrect that project making videos funded with your own pocket to give the appearance of success. She’ll always be popular, but that bank account is definitely affected. Because with the cd’s, and all the commercials and endorsement deals and headlining she’s been doing, there’s no other reason she should not have made this list. She’s definitely getting the hits on the internet and google, so she must not be adding up with the money. Cause Jessica Simpson’s cd didn’t even do well this year, but yet and still, she has more money and power in hollywood then beyonce cause she made the list. Oh and Beyonce has house of dereon, and still she couldn’t make the 100 list. Either i’m right, or somethings wrong with this list. Damn, the little girl, Dakota Fanning got more juice than Beyonce. Like i said, all smoke and mirrors.

Not for their music, but for entrepreneurship. Still can’t stand Diddy.

Beyonce’s net worth is what kept her off of this list. You have to have a minimum worth or $45 million. I think Bey is in the $25-35 million ranking.

According to forbes.com, this is how they tabulated the richest women in entertainment, which was included in the 100 richest celebs:

Methodology: Net worth estimates were arrived at by tallying the total earnings, including salaries, record sales, tours, merchandising and royalties over the course of a career. When relevant, we included real estate holdings, shares and other assets. A conservative rate of return was applied, less taxes and agent fees. The list is limited to those female celebrities active in their professional lives.

So as you see, I’m not surprised she’s absent from the list. Since musicians primarily make money from touring (and she’s not done til Sept 07) they probably couldn’t estimate her earnings. She also just recently purchased her first home so real estate probably couldn’t be included either. I’m sure she’ll probably make next years list.

OK I’m happy they made it, Hip Hop dudes has broken into that exclusive rich negro club with the Michael Jordans, Robert Johnsons, Bill Cosbys and Oprah is the president of that club. And their guidelines will be to play by the rules and don’t piss off white folks or they’ll be kicked out of the club like Michael Jackson was. I want to see if these rich rap dudes toe the line and continue to build their personal wealth or use their wealth and influence to create power and try to help their people who’s still struggling in this corrupt system.

ok Damn. Hollup.
You mean Fiddy got more than Diddy???

Whatever…they got money…we know that…moving on!

_______________

As much as I love 50…she is right!!! He owns 10% of the FORMULA 50 flavor of Vitamin water, NOT the whole company. People love to speculate, but my man 50 never CONFIRMED nor DENIED the roomer so I gave him a little time to, started looking into more reliable sources for the answers and just like I thought, he gets 100 million and after taxes it will probably be more like 65 or 70 mill

Either way, I love him(not on no stalker shit or nothin’ lol) Rich or poor. You GOTTA love a mind that thinks like his.

^^^^I meant I gave him a little time to decide if he wanted to respond and then started looking into more reliable sources than the gossip websites and the radio.

I’m on him like white on rice lol!!!!

Co-SIGN!!!! I made a very similar comment when the Forbs richest Women in Hollywood list came out earlier this year!!!! #20 was Renee Zelwigger @ $45 mil or somewhere around there.

Airhead bitch…..her daddy is probably robbing her blind cuz she has been out for 10 year and ON THE GRIND for the last 4 so you do the math…….

True Ballers…I wish they would share some of that!

Damn if that’s the case jigga would be higher as well if we add that 200 million he just got for rocawear and that additional 35 a year he recieves if their profits go up. And i think Beyonce is not on their b/c she still calculating that do you’ll probably have to wait until he tour is over she probably did 25-30 million

I don’t give a flying fuck who on the list. They richer than me and I’m still getting taxed so them and this corrupt ass government can bite me. Better eat out a elephants ass. P.S. Love your show and magazine Oprah.

what happpened to Raven-Symone? Isnt she supposedly the $400 million girl? Thats what the magazine cover said….then again, she doenst have much clout outside of the Disney empire….I’m proud of my people anyways!!!

Number one, what’s up with the wierd accent…who puts “no” at the end of their sentences.

We are in AMERICA!!!!!! YES! Bitch.

lol

Anyway, i just knew swoll lip was goin to be on there…i would be crazy in love with his ass too (hint hint)….

DAMN! Harpo!!!!!

Hovi baby he is doing it BIG! I am proud of him. Love him

Thats wassup!

ummm wow jay-z looks more and more diffrent everytime i see um and i dont care 2 much 2 diddy or wat eva his name is

Oprah #1…….that’s what i’m talking, a woman running thangs!!

Jay-Z is such a poser…Ugh

Oh Oprah darli - no one could have rocked it better…… I love you darling

I alwaz knew JayZ would do It. His hustle game is deep. He warned us he was coming,more talk, the more game face he put on the more game he bring. In Nigeria, my ccrew and I, bring it like that too. Reach out.

50 is the greatest, get rich or die tryin, he’s got brains!!

I don’t know why Beyonce is never on this list.She is one of the best selling female artist,has a clothing line,gets paid 5 million a year for loreal commercials and millions from deals for her fragrances,soft drinks,cell phones and the recent american express commercial.My cousin used to work for her dads record label 5 years ago and he said she was worth well over $50million back then, and the only amount I’ve heard since then was the $23million she made in 2003 from Dangerously in Love.Something isn’t adding up.I think the reason she isn’t on the list is because when she isn’t working she’s living a low-key celeb lifestyle and she is a very private person when it comes to things like the romantic link between her and Jay-Z, so I imagine she feel the same way about money. Besides shes making a lot more than the average celeb on the list and I know damn well Oprah made more than 250 mill last year.Beyonce net worth:at least $300million.

hahha. that bitch leaves off jay z. and not to mention she just got breast implant. how do i know. my cousin works in a record label company and not only that she makes over 300 million fuck out of here.. bitch only has 75 million and thats all aight !!!!!!
fuck beyonce she is fake ass fuck everything her attitude. she even said it herself she is fronting.
i met that bitch real life. i was suppose to be on destiny child she didn’t pick me due to always wanting the shine. i am fucking beautiful and hot. im egyptian and black.. with bangin ass hair. unlike her weaved ass head. don’t trip im coming for her ugly fat ass self. ya i know im dissing her its just the fact shes fake

i mean she lives off jay z money

hey yallllllllllllllllll
