VerySexy42

Oh come on. Tyra Banks earns more $$$ than Diane Sawyer?!! MTO, I don't think so. I'll have to read the article and research this one before I can believe it.


msshawty31

uhmm... what is jerry seinfield doing to be 2nd on the list???


VerySexy42

Somebody needs to let Ken Chanault, CEO of American Express know that a sistah is making more money than their precious Ellen DeGeneres. Ken, you tell Nancy Smith and them over there in Marketing and Advertising to drop that white girl and hire the sistah to represent ya'll. Don't worry, Ken, even though you're the CEO, we all know that you don't really have any pull over there at Amex to make such a change.

msshawty31

Well His DVD's sell like hot cakes and his show is deep in syndication! I think his show is corny but hey, I wont knock his hustle or his audience! On The low, millions upon millions of people still watch the reruns! But I was a Martin Fan Myself! But Congrats to Jerry!



Akan5

That's great especially when you look at the other people on the list they beat out.Tyra even beat out Katie Couric and Barbara Walter (can't stand either one).AH HA GREAT! Congrats to both women.


januaryreign

@msshawty31

Jerry Seinfeld is making a lot of money because his show is in syndication. Each time one of the repeats airs on any station, here and abroad, he gets paid...and a lot of stations carry that show.
