As a woman I am very proud of Beyonce. She’s the only woman on the list besides Oprah out of all the black women in Entertainment. They said she was the richest woman in rnb too. She continues to stay on top. I ain’t mad at her I’m proud that she is making history. A legend in the making right there.
Of course I’m proud of Oprah too who continues to hold it down. She stay killing em. Now I hope next year there will be more women on the list besides Oprah and Beyonce. I’m glad they’re representing for the ladies though.
February 6th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Damn Jay is dat nigga fo real. How hot is it to be the richest man in hip-hop with your girl being the richest woman in rnb and ya’ll both in Forbes top 10? Damn this nigga need to write a book how he go from the projects to having all this? Lucky ass nigga.

^^^^^^
The list is about African-American entertainers of course everyone on the list is an entertainer. Oprah has a talk show and her own television network, reason with me as to how she is not in the entertainment business.
I know this seems obvious and petty but I hate when people judge/down play what these entertainers do as if their wealth is less respectable than the wealth of a doctor or lawyer. Success is when you take a gift, do it death, and turn a profit at the end. Everybody on this list deserves props for making this list. They all took the same gift of speaking and making people believe in what they say and turned it into a fortune. Oprah just did it way bigger, but her gift does not differ from 50, Jay, etc.
