Where’s 50, That nigga did not turn in his income tax return, hiding his income or just fell off the list? I mean the lowest is 6.5 million in the top 100.
So if Oprah makes $315 million now, imagine what she’ll get once her TV Network “OWN” starts. I can’t help but wonder why she’s allowed to have a whole channel.
This list is a lie..sorry!
damn @ beyonce pulling in more than jay
JR it says that it’s not only based on money.
I really don’t think Fif made less than 6.5M.

Hahaha where’s that hater 50 at?I went through the whole list and he wasn’t there.
Not able to sell out shows,straight to DVD movies which nobody watches,failed clothing line,failed perfume line,flopped album(BISD).
No wonder he’s not on the list.
He’s going broke.
Why do you think he’s selling that Tyson hand me down crib?
LOL!
to all your niggaz that cant read its a celebrity list they just list 100 celebrities not the top 100 earning celebrities you dumb fucks i can think of over 30 actors , foreign musicians etc.. that make ore money then have that list
its a CELEBRITY list stupid!!! 50 may earned around 20-30 mill. We dont know yet. Its not only based on money. Its also based on press, coverage, bla bla bla
LMAO @ JR.
You definitely have a point.
To the nigga who said that whites mad when they look at this list, who the hell u think sign they checks?? Who face on the money??? Who print the damn money??? Come on son,WAKE THE FU** UP !!!SMH
White people are gonna be mad when they read this post… because most of the other 89 people on the list are white? Save the racial humor for Dave Chappelle and Katt Williams bro, you just sound like an idiot.
wait is this only black celebrities?
well tiger is still gettin paid even that drama cant slow down the tigaaa
If you read the beginning of the ACTUAL ARTICLE its states that the list was comprised of INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE DRAWN THE MOST MEDIA ATTENTION which means that THIS LIST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FINANCIAL GAINS!!! Therefore, names like Will smith, warren buffet, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs are not listed on this list…. Also, your beloved 50 cent lol
SILLY BIRDMAN for thinking LIL WAYNE makes more than HOV….smh
makes more than hov… off of his music!!! thats the whole quote and still very much possible!!!
DAMN, Oprah is THE BOSS of this shit! She always in the top 5/top 3 & is always #1 in terms of pay rank! She runs 2 TV Networks, a Radio station, a Magazine & I’m sure she has stock & pull on ABC because she has the biggest talk show on ABC, & Rachel Ray & Dr. Phil pullin big ratings too!
As a man, I respect Russell Simmona & Jay-Z hustle but real talk, Oprah is on some real OG, GODFATHER/Godmother lol, status with her hustle! She’s the Queen Of All Media!
@2 cents, in this day n age with internet speed sky rocketting u want to lie blatantly tlking bout it not being the hol quote? we all seen that video so cut the bul shit, birdman said wayne make more than jasy.. PERIOD!!! no specifics like from music nothing, so goh with that shit…
Oprah is THE ULTIMATE BOSS! We talk about Diddy, Russell, 50 Cent & Jay-Z but Oprah is on some other shit though! She own 2 TV Networks, Radio network, Magazine, has the biggest talk show of all time on ABC & produced 3 other shows for ABC! She is the Queen Of All Media! She could own the Chicago Bulls if she wanted to LOL!
my nigga #FreeTunechi
Stedman Graham is living BIG ! Shoutout to Stedman we see nigga.
another lost for curtis..no where on this list…whether is media attention or financial gains…
Birdman…I thought you said Lil Wayne makes the most money?? What numbers are you looking at. Mind you Hov is 40 and at this point is taking vacations and Lil Wayne is going or should I say was going (before jail) full force. Could you imagine if Hov was going full force?? lol smh st this clowns.
To young money…. obviously the industry dosent like fifty so he wont make this list but when hiphop earnings come out I’m sure he be there wit a respected number specialty with all the hate around him imagine if he didn’t and I believe Curtis has consistently been on the list and was number 1 two years ago wit 150 mill in one year don’t think Jay or diddy can say they made that much in one year
Lol@birdman looking crazy with that statement about Wayne making more than jay. Seriously all jokes aside i want to know how much is Birdman be making dude shady as hell.
free lil tunechi
HOW THE FUCK did tyler perry’s unfunny ass get number 2? this cant be serious
“I know da white ppl r mad at dis list lol”
You my dear sir, are a fvckin retard. Take a look at the list of “white guys” there you’ll find BILLIONS!.. Who’s making the Forbes Top Ten?..
Mj still over kobe an lebron all these years lol GOAT baby
50′s not on the list because he barely did any media or interviews.
Weezy’s on the list because his album did well and he garnered media attention and interviews out of it. Weezy isn’t consistent with being “hot” (he just got back hot after being out how long?) and that’ll always keep him towards the bottom if not off the list.
Hov will always be on top of Weezy because he’s more media friendly aside from making business moves. He does more than music – he invests.
Beyonce will always be on top of Hov because she IS media aside from doing killer concerts and always selling albums. She just won 3 more ascap awards.
MJ will always be over Kobe & LeBron because he IS Nike. He owns stake in the company as well as all his items still sell like he’s currently playing.
The person that got jerked is Kanye. He Executive Produced the BP3, he writes and produces for others and he had his own music out there. He got tons of media attention from that “girl” – negative or positive it counts, and yet she made the list.
We need people on this list who can actually give niggas jobs like industry people not niggaz who sell themselves.
We still in slavery mode we need call centers, plants, maunfacturor, warehouses, engineering plants. Fuck an album or a movie nigga.
J surely you don’t believe that..”fuck an album?” Beyonce put almost 200 people to work for over 4 years due to having 2 very successful albums back to back. These people were engineers, carpernters, graphic artists, electricians, building her stage sets, etc. They also got to travel all over the world. So, an artists can give people jobs and lifetime experience!
