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.

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. :(

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

38.

HDIZZLE

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

39.

nikki

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

40.

cutie

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

41.

J. Lewis (Bitchassness...it's affecting our community)

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

$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

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.

46.

ANTI-IMPERIALIST

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

# 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.

47.

uptowngirl

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

49.

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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!

50.

ANTI-IMPERIALIST

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

@ 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.

51.

Go to Forbes for accuracy.

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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.

52.

Way to go!!

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

@ #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

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

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!!!!

75.

Beyonce started her World Tour in the summer, and this was from June06-June07, so she DEF made more tha that.

Wow as a woman I am VERY proud of Beyonce. Say what you want but this woman is the Richest woman in rnb and the most popular and successful too. She is killing all these chicks. Beyonce is the only woman on the list besides Oprah. Obviously it’s a waste of time to hate on Beyonce. Like her or not she is killing it.

I’m proud of Oprah too. She’s always killing it. Big up to Beyonce and Oprah for holding it down for the ladies.

Jay always doing his thang. He’s the richest man in hiphop and his woman is the richest woman in rnb so they are the perfect match. Both legends. I love it.

Congrats to all of them. I LOVE seeing black people succeed. Please let’s not tear down our own people. Congratulate.

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

First of all CONGRATS to all the High Rollers - I AINT MAD AT DEM. But, you better believe this list is totally inaccurate. Some people on that list (and off) are not going to report all the money they made. That’s smart because when you start doing that, HATERS really show their HATE. Look at what happened to Stax Record Label and you’ll see what I mean. Issac Hayes and other blacks were doing Fabulous and were insanley rich in the 1970’s but, Haters got super jealous and made them lose a lot of what they had.

83.

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

Damn Beyonce is doing it big for the ladies. This ain’t even include the second half of her tour so I know she making dat paper. She stays on top of the game.
I know her haters are mad. LMAO

Thursday, February 7, 2008 /

For those of you who think Oprah is selfish for being upset when family members ask her for money, you should rethink that because you would be upset to if family members who never bother to call you to wish you a happy holiday suddenly come out the blue asking for money.

For those who bash Jay-Z and Beyonce, you guys are just haters. Instead of supporting our people we have to talk bad about them in order to make ourselves feel better. I don’t care what anyone has to say. We have to get it together and we need to stop hating on each other because it gets us nowhere. Before you start talking about someone else’s looks, look at yourself in the mirror.

YOU FAIL TO REALISE JAY-Z DOESN’T LIMIT HIMSELF TO MUSIC NOR CLOTHES.
Jay-Z co-owns The 40/40 Club, an upscale sports bar that started in New York City and has since expanded to Atlantic City, NJ and Las Vegas, . Future plans will see 40/40 Clubs in Los Angeles, and Singapore. Roc-A-Fella also distributes Armadale, a Scottish vodka, in the U.S. Jay-Z is a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets NBA team paying a reported $4.5 million for his share. He is also interested in relocating the team to Brooklyn.
HE ALSO JUST SIGNED A $66 MILLION DOLLAR REAL ESTATE DEAL IN DECEMBER 2007. GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN.

#62 - THAT’S WHASSUP and everyone else that’s riding with Jay and Beyonce.

Kudo’s to Beyonce though - this tally doesn’t even include the 2nd half of her tour!!! She’ll be somewhere on the list again next year.

I must say, that for Tiger Woods- a man who doesn’t consider himself to be black, but rather “Cablinasian” (shaking my head), it is nice to see him and all the other celebrities on the Forbes’ Top 10 Earning Blacks List.

loop,

i know this is left field, but I live in VA and our primary election is this Tuesday, FEB 12th and im trying to spread the word for people to vote on my facebook and myspace….then this chick asked me where do I vote? which let me know she’s unfamiliar with the process, as A LOT of young voters are……..so could you make a generic voting steps post??? Cuz im not even familiar with each step….just list the main steps or bold the main steps with elaborations, or however you like…….there just needs to something very easy youngins can refer to when they decide to become registered voters.

Here’s an example:

1. go to city hall to get form
2. turn in form
3. you will receive card in mail telling you where you vote (precinct)
4. know the dates your district/state will vote
5. take valid photo ID to precinct to vote (address must match info on voter roster)
6. VOTE!!!

…you know, something like that

thanks guys

uh oh I can see Beyonce stans going after the naysayers today lol anways congrats to all my black people being sucessful but I could’ve sworn Beyonce was going to make more than 27 million lol..my ass was thinking about 100 million with world tour oh well congrats!!!!

HER TRUE FANS ALREADY KNOW THAT NOT EVEN HALF OF HER CONCERTS WERE COUNTED IN THIS AMOUNT. I SWEAR SOME PEOPLE CAN BE SO IGNORANT, I MEAN IT SAYS FROM JUNE O6- JUNE 07. CONCRETELOOP THIS IS KINDA OLD TOO. I DON’T BELIEVE IT ACCURATE JUST THE SAME, I THINK THEY BASICALLY ASSUMED ALOT OF THESE FIGURES. MOST OF THE MONEY, MADE BY THESE ENTERTAINERS ARE FROM ENDORSEMENTS.
______________________________________________________________________
YEAH I SAW THAT ON FORBES, AND I BET AROUND THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, SHE’LL MAKE THIS LIST AGAIN WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING! HER TOUR WAS JUST GETTING STARTED WHEN THEY TALLIED UP THIS LIST, SO SHE WILL DEF BE ON IT NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO TALLY WHAT SHE DID FROM 07-08!

Sorry just because Forbes makes a list doesn’t mean it is legit. First off Tiger Woods does NOT consider himself to be black. So why is Forbes putting him on this list. Didn’t Tiger say he’s a combination or something like that? Second, where is Will Smith? Will Smith makes over $20 million plus a percentage of the profits for EVERY MOVIE HE MAKES. Same for Denzel Washington they would be high on the list. Also, where is Tyler Perry? Doesn’t make sense?

No matter what the topic, if it has anything to do with Kobe, somebody has to mention the fact that he cheated. And here we are talking about how Usher can do so much better than Tamika. Didn’t he cheat???

Beyonce: White people support her more than we do, it’s a shame.

Shaq: Well, good thing for him he makes money off of doing nothing.

People doubting how much money people like Jay, Diddy and Bey make. For your info, these people own property too. Not a condo here and there, but high rise, multi unit buildings over 40 floors high, and shares in hotels, etc. Oprah owns plenty of property: farms, studios, buildings, stores, warehouses, schools, etc.- some here and overseas. She truly is a powerhouse and a hard act to follow.

JUDAH

Sunday, February 10, 2008 /

The reason why Tiger Woods is on this list is because the white man knows something that Tiger Woods and many black people don’t. The white man knows that it’s not what you consider yourself that matters, it’s what you are. This society says one thing and practices another, so if America states that you must “embrace all aspects of your lineage, heritage, and culture”, it really means “you are however you look to me”. This is the same exact reason why censuses are distributed that ask you what race you are. In America race matters more than anyplace else because there are so many different races here. The white man needs to keep tabs on how many there are in his country of the various races.

A person is whatever race the father is because the man carries the seed, determines the race and the sex. Tiger Wood’s father is black, so Tiger Woods is black. The white man knows this, so he includes him on this list. I hope that black people stop making such dumb comments regarding why Tiger Woods is on this list because he calls himself “cablinasian”. Tiger Woods is no more delusional than the majority of double-minded negroes that say that “color doesn’t matter” in one breath and then get roused up over Obama in the next breath.
