Must be niceeee. Good people are making their money. Oprah is always on top. lol

Big ups to Beyonce for holding it down on such a male dominated list.Oprah is amazing and it’s great for black women to see someone as intelligent and dignified as her topping the list.I LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

Yes she is… Black people are on the rise…

Oprah is killin ‘em…..

I’m so proud of my people!!

It inspires me to continue my own hustle.

*yelling* GO OPRAH GO!!! Lol…I’m proud of Jay most definitely “From Marcy to Hollywood”!!!

BLACK STAR POWER!

I sure pray that my name is on that list some day. Lord willing…

Is this list accurate????? Will Smith makes more than the guy listed with 1 million and I know the Queen should be in there someplace and there is one singer I know made the 1mill mark or more, I know for a fact.
Not being funny. Congratulations everyone.
maybe everyone does not disclose their true earnings.

lol @ Jordan still on the hustle. You taking notes Tyson? Now I know why Jaime stay on Oprah like flies on $hit.

What happened to Magic & Bob Johnson? I guess their attention has been a little diverted.

What about Tyler Perry???? I know he would fit in their someplace if they mention someone making 1 million.

i’m suprised puffy didn’t make this list

SHAQ MADE MONEY?? HE WAS GETTIN HURT MORE THAN HE WAS ON THA COURT!!!! THANK GOD THEY TRADED HIM TO THE SUNS NOW MY HEAT CANT FINNALLY GET IT TOGETHER!!

@10.. the last dude is a spoof. They said “list of 10,” and he’s the 11th on the list. Besides, $.001Million is not 1 mill. We as a people really need to up our math game. lol

WORK black people!!!!!

Michale Jordan STILL makin that cash…..I LOVE IT!

Tiger woods aint black. He doesn’t like being called black and we as black people need to stop claiming his cablasian ass.

yo nigga can i hold a hot twenty?

WOW!!!!!!! at Oprah making 260 in a year.

I know Tyler Perry made more than 1 million last year???????
and yea, I do not think this is accurate either and where is Will smith and Denzels name I know they too made more than 1 million if this guy made top ten.This list is not accurate.

IT’LL BE A MIN BEFORE SOMEBODY KNOCKS OPRAH OFF THE TOP…

I THOUGHT ONE OF THE WILLIAMS CHICKS WOULD BE ON THERE BEFORE A NIGEL WHOEVER…

AND I GOOGLED HIM (NIGEL DEGRAFF) AND ALL I GOT WAS AN ENTERTAINMENT SITE, IS THAT ALL HE’S DONE???

WHY ISN’T DIDDY ON THE LIST >>I thought his clothing line was the top seller out of all of the celebrities , and his fragrances …whats up with that?????

Good for them, That’s what’s up!

MAN I WISH I WERE THEM FOR A DAY!!!!

I think that was their point, they shouldn’t even mentioned him.

UHH # 21 CAN U READ WILL SIMTH IS ON THA LIST WIT 31 MIL

lol @ 12, 21, 22….

I wonder if Oprah will adopt me?????

check the article people…that last dude listed here is not even included…plus Bob Johnson made the list of top executives….not CELEBRITY….
check out FORBES.COM….they have all the rankings you will ever want or need…

BIG UPS 2 beyonce and Jay….If they ever get married, man ole man that would be CRAZY.

@ A #23, YEA, DIDDY SHOULD BE ON THERE BUT LET’S NOT FOR GET THE MAJOR B.M. GUAP THAT HE’S SHELLING OUT PLUS HIS SIDE SHOW (MTB4)HE’S GOTTA KEEP UP, JUST TO STAY SOMEWHAT CURRENT…

That’s so cool that Jay and Beyonce not only made the list together but are both in the top 10. They are killing the game!!! Very well deserved - talent and smarts brings riches.

31 Said: “BIG UPS 2 beyonce and Jay….If they ever get married, man ole man that would be CRAZY.”

Yeah man, say that to their future half human, half camel kids. Everything in life is relative.

Oprah Winfrey - $260 Million

Wow, and this is coming from a woman who recently stated in one of her recent shows that she can’t stand it when her family asks her for money. She feels she’s being used. I FEEL SOO SORRY FOR HER.

Im proud of all of them but damn i wish i had there money

I thought Oprah made BILLIONS?!?! but anyway no one aint touchin her when it comes to raking in the money!!, But i would have thought P diddy would have been on that list.

Yeah I know Tyler perry has to be on their some where. His chitlin circuit plays pulled in more then a million dollars so as popular as his movies have been I would imagine he should be on the list. And diddy too.

And tiger, should he even be on the list scince he don”t consider himself black. Damnit I know that was years ago but that shit irks me. I’m not trying to force him to put himself in one category but he has the mentality of black people from other countries specifically the islands that pull that shit becuase they think there’s something wrong with associating them selves as black.

Why is Tiger included on this list? Let the caulbinasians represent his self hating behind. Why are we claiming someone who wants nothing to with anything remotely black? I don’t celebrate him or any of his accomplishements and could care less about how much money he makes.

Big up to all of those listed. But its so sad that people who rap, dance, hit a ball, bounce a ball, etc make so much money while highly educated individuals are still in the struggle.

$260 Mil in a year…must be nice. She should be a gazillionaire by now cause it seems like she been making that much for the past 10+ years

Good to see the homie Jay doing it big

Tiger Woods is black but he ain’t black lol

I’m gonna be up there one day once they find a cure for PROCRASTINATION…it’s a REAL disease

yea what happened 2 diddy

MONEY MEANS NOTHING! LOOK AT BRITNEY.
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY.
HOPEFULLY THEIR SHIT IS TOGETHER.

Yeah man, say that to their future half human, half camel, *FULL BLOODED RICH kids. *Everything in they kids life would be relatively free.

This list is only what they made last year! Not what they have in total. Puffy made 23 million last year. He is worth almost 400 million.

# 40. I think it’s because many intelligent (or highly educated) blacks would rather work for whites than be entrepreneurial, subjecting themselves to the glass ceiling. Unlike whites.. for the most part, the richest whites are straight up nerds and geeks.

Why we keep claiming Tiger? He ain’t black he’s cablinasian.

Ken: U ain’t never lied. Not only look at Britney look at Oprah, obviously she resorts to food for happiness, look at Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, Whitney Houston, Kurt Cobain, Lindsay Lohan, Kobe Bryant (cheated), Michael Jordan (divorced), Shaq (divorced), the list can go on and on. You do have to be happy within yourself first, because money at times will only be an enabler to ultimate self destruction.

LMAO @ #18. For real though.

Uh, Oprah needs to adopt my ass. Or least pay off my college loans. I only owe $30,000 Oprah, so Just hook me up w/ a mil and i’m good to go!

@ 47: Forbes is not a black publication. Tiger should be calling them to explain how he’s not black.

@ 35: Rich people have feelings too. Even beautiful people (sometimes) want to be seen as more than a piece of meet. I know it might sound a little silly, but it’s true.

@ 29: Oprah can adopt or marry me.

@ 44: Say what you want, it’s a tough life when you can’t look your own father in the face.

Oprah net worth is 2.5 billion dollars. okay
This is that African American list of yearly figures.
In fact Beyonce is not top 20 of the richest celebrities, just african american as listed here which is good.
go to forbes.

We are looking good and Oprah is at the top of all the list, but we still got a long way to go.

#50 says @ 44: Say what you want, it’s a tough life when you can’t look your own father in the face.

LMAO thats funny.

I just saw what she was work…Bey ain’t got nothing on her.

Forget all these ungrateful celebs who have taken advantage of all the money they make and opportunities that come with being a celeb by doing stupid stuff. Give me $100 Million and I’ll be happier than a tambourine player who caught the Holy Ghost at church

I read somewhere Raven Symone was worth $400 million, where did she place on the list? Just wondering. Or was that article exagerating her worth?

______________________________________________________________________

Okay well if that is the case- Then why claim Barack??? come on people- get it together

What P.Diddy’s not on the list???!!!! damn that negro is goin broke paying for his 4 children his baby mama’s aint playing!!!!!!

Also people learn how to read- it’s not about how much a celeb is worth- It’s about what they’d Made in ONE YEAR!

@ #56 Yeah they made it seem like she was worth that much but I seen the other day that Raven made $400 Million in revenue FOR Disney based off her show. I’m sure she has some millions just not 400M

I thought Micheal Jordan didn’t release his net worth?

Hmmm…I dunno 31 million? Under Kobe? I know Juanita got a big chunk but she deserved it. I uno, he’s sheltering something

Where talking about the Jordan trademark, that’s synonymous with Nike

I’m so proud of Jay, that why all his people hate on him -
Keep doing your thing

Whassup y’all niggaz all fed up cause I got a little cheddar
and my records movin out the sto’?
Young f**ks spittin at me, young rappers gettin at me
My nigga Big predicted the shit exactly
“Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems” - gotta move carefully
Cause faggots hate when you gettin money like athletes
Yung’uns ice-grillin me, ohh - you not feelin me?
Fine; it cost you nothin - pay me no mind
Look, I’m on my grind cousin, ain’t got time for frontin
Sensitive thugs, y’all all need hugs

that’s whats up

#57

Uh barack at the one who went out of his way to let people know he didn’t consider himself black and then went on to say how he gets mad when people identify him as such, see the difference.

JAY & B …………………..REPRESENT!!!!

HATE IF YA WANT……..BUT YA WASTING YOUR TIME!!!!!!!

LLLLLLMAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOO@ Mills…………
The hate always comes when you are doing your thang…………

SUCCESS. American Gangsta!! If YOU AIN’T got it, YA SLIPP’N!!

Chile, I am cracking up at that one. Wheewwww weeeee, I can’t stop laughing.

If you squint your eyes a lil bit, Jay looks like Tiger, lol.

something about that list aint right. what has kobe been doin to be on top of micheal. i kno juanita took half but damn…i know he has more.

THIS IS A CONSPIRACY

PUFF WON’T BE ON THAT LIST FOR AWHILE….KIM KILLING THEM CHECKS!!!

YES PUFF…YOU REALLY DO WRITE CHECKS!!!!! TAKE THAT, TAKE THAT BAD BOY!! lol

How can Michael be broke earning that much money? Evaluate your priorities!

I swear, one day you CL readers will actually learn to READ….

this list is based on a single YEAR EARNINGS (from June to June)…it is not, i repeat NOT the total worth of the celebrity….

this is also just the top 10 black earners for the year…..Tyler Perry and Diddy are ranked among the top black earners, but they did not make the TOP TEN …

again, go to Forbes if you are still confused!!!!

What the hell don’t ya’ll get. This is not the NET worth, it’s only how much they took in last year. Damn, reeeeeeead.
