ROFl ROFL

@dreamdoll aka beyonce

Did you see this list? Bey you and your husband are nowhere on it. Now you (beyonce aka dreamdoll and your garbage stans) can finally put this forbes lie and that 80 million gross to rest. The numbers are out but I am surprised about 50 because even though he's garbage he still made a pretty penny when he sold vitamin water which made him a top 10 forbes candidate in recent years. LMAO. I can't wait for dreamdoll aka beyonce to see this. And anyone who knows this girl's stats like that is not a normal fan. I exposed you beyonce rofl.


mskiki

besides if u notice the ppl that are mentioned on the list aren't in the music industry :)


spraggaswifey

So what...You can't be on top forever.....He'll be iight......



DannyDan

WTF! YOU BETTER COUNT THAT AGAIN. MY MAN JAY BETTER BE UP THERE!!


Safari1

Oprah ain't playing she the only black billionaire. Then she treated the whole country to some KFC....can't nobody do it like Oprah.


QTBROWN1

they both have money to burn and im alittle surprised but so what...they shouldnt be affended with all of the money they have...as wealthy as they are, they should be laughing all the way to the bank..


Barry9x9

They was never that rich to begin with.. it's all hype.


WUTUPDOE313

ATrueBlackDiamond

According to who! I swear this Forbes is list is suspect! I may not like some of these guys but I know at least 1 of them shoulda made the list! Diddy's newe cologne was a huge success! Sounds like who ever did this list didnt want any hip-hop people on it!


b_rich30

he aint crying about it


trixie

CONGRATS TO OPRAH WELL DESERVED JAY FALLING HARD NOT EVEN MAKING IT INTO THE TOP TEN BY NEXT YEAR HE WONT MAKE IT INTO THE TOP TWENTY EITHER LAST YEAR THEY REPORTED JAY MADE 82 MILLION WHEN I DID IT GET UP TO 140 MILLION? @DREAMDOLL WHERE YOUR BOSS AT COME CLARIFY FOR ME IS THIS AMOUNT COMBINED WITH BENECKEY'S


dukesman

I would say it was Bernie Maddoff, but Bernie isn't an equal opportunity thief, he only steals from Jews.


upsouthboy

Jeezy and nelly look bout sweet as pixie dust in this pic.


huhduh10

can i get a loan yall


BLACKGIRL32

WELL,MAYBE HE'S NOT IN THE TOP TEN,BUT HE'S STILL STINKING RICH. I BELEIVE HE'S WORTH AN ESTIMATED 80 MILLION DOLLARS... THAT'S NOT PEANUTS.


ALWAYSONDECK

WELL AT LEAST THEY STILL GOT BREAD... IT JUST MIGHT NOT BE AS LONG AS THOSE ON THE LIST. US WOMEN R HOLDN IT DOWN GO OPRAH..AND THEY SAID THIS WAS A MAN'S WORLD..PEOPLE LIE NUMBERS DON'T HOLLA!!!!!!!!



aROB

wow ;

did they ever have a top ten spot ?


mrogi

Tiger is not black. He dont claim blackness. His momma aint. His father was 75% non black.


_Kisha_

That's not a bad thing MTO. Those brothas might not have made the top ten but they are all still wealthy. Now me on the other hand I haven't held a 50 dollar bill in 7 months NO LIE!!! Not to mention gas just went up here in Texas. So maybe not being in the top 10 is not so bad after all at least they don't have to sit at home being bored just to save gas. When that time comes for them then we can give them a pity party. Anybody got some spare change in here? :)


ALWAYSONDECK

ALL THAT BOTTLE POPPIN, CLUB HOPPING,AND HO HOPPN AND MAKN IT RAIN... DONE CAUGHT UP WITH THEM....


mrogi

Fiddy got $200 million just fron his Vitamin water alone. Forbes is way off.

Facebook StumbleUpon Digg Post to MySpace! * E-Mail * Respond * Print * Share

AP

The King and Queen of Hip Hop and R&B mopped up the floor with the competition.

What do you get when you marry hip hop with R&B?

Lots and lots of money.

Jay-Z and Beyonce are Hollywood's Top-Earning Couple, according to Forbes.com, raking in an evenly split $162 million between them from June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008 ***************** JAY ONLY MADE 82 MILL LAST YEAR HOW IS HE ON LIST


yummers

LVHUNNIE

sdavis99

Bill Cosby and Micheal Jordan are still making the list. Good for them.


trixie

soundseven

MISSHIPS

Trixie sit ur lil ass somewhere u always hatin mama that ain't cool. You need god in ur life, find him and probably things would move smooth for you. Damn I ain't never know someone can have that much hate


MISSHIPS

mamacita610

sigh.....MTO, do you EVER report things accurately? That list was for the TOP-EARNERS of 2008....which has nothing to do with the total worth of anybody.



DESiRoXX

Who gives a sh*t, they're still rich and we are all still broke...but dag I didn't know don peebles was stacked like that.


cocoa49

diddy is busy parting his away and ciara is spending all of 50's money. lol


cocoa49

correction "partying"


PrettyDiva83

WHY AM I NOT SHOCKED, THE RECESSION IS HURTIN EVERYBODY INCLUDIN THE RICHES PEOPLE, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE BUYING ALBUMS AND GOING TO CONCERTS DURING A RECESSION IS SLOWLY DECLINING THUS CAUSING THE ARTISTS AND LABEL OWNERS TO LOOSE MONEY.........

WHO WANTS TO PUT MONEY IN JAY, 50 CENT OR DIDDIES POCKET? WHAT HAVE THEY DONE FOR US BESIDES MAKE MUSIC....... THEY GOT KIDS IN AFRICA DYING FROM AIDS, STARVATION AND CRIME AND ALL YALL WANNA DO IS MAKE SHAKE-YA-A*S MUSIC AND EXPECT YOURSELVES TO STILL BE THE HIGHEST PAID??

THE RECESSION IS RICH-PROOF, EVEN THE WEALTHY IS GETTIN HIT HARD

CIAO


monique2468

Foxy90210

Dam I didn't know Bill Cosby was paid like that! I love Bill. My daughter and I were watching the Cosby Show marathon last night.


infp45

^^ That's because Bill Cosby doesn't go around boasting about how much money he has, unlike SOME people.


prettiladi83

Damn, I wonder if Oprah related to me somehow...lol!


NdulgeNme

"I'm pretty sure they still got more money than us all..." HaHa!!! Aint that tha truth!!!


Dreayonn

Those are some heavy hitters. He may not be in the Top 10 but his money is still long.


Dreayonn

Flag post Damn, I wonder if Oprah related to me somehow...lol!

Foreal tho! LOL Me and Oprah may not be related but we could definitely arrange something. Oprah hit a brotha up. :)


SocialIntrovert

DonDiva1

bottom line he made the list!!!!!!!! and in the top 20 at tht. where ya'll names at? dnt worry i'll wait...........



bigkidnig

are my eyes deceiving me???

did i see oprah at 2.7 BILLION!!???

there is no way she should have that much money because alot of that should go right back out to charity!!

i know she give to charity, but it must not be enough if she still has 2.7 BILLION!

thats just a ridiculous amount of money....!

i aint jealous though cuz i get $$$ too

:-D


mzarrogance

I'm not mad at ANY of them.


KingRamses2U

in the case of Jiggzy & 50, crack ain't sellin' like it used to; the recession got the crackheads in a bind too; they 'bout to switch to sellin' doogie...

...in the case of Puff Phaggy : he was only shyt warmed over from the door...


Miss716

@bigkidnig U know u remind me of an ass.hole. Everytime I see yo comments I know you about to say sum dumb sh!t. How is it up to u to say how much money someone should give away? Say that sh!t about wayne soulja boy n niqqas that dnt do sh!t for nobody. Dam dummy.


Divaonadime

Berry Gordy Net worth $350M....Negro please! That's just what's reported on their Taxes, most these negros packing heavier than stated above!


killuminati2014

I would love to surpass Oprah numbers...I will one day.....f.u.c.k the rest of the list. They're poor to me. But the top 10, can't be mad at that.

1. Oprah Winfrey - Net worth of $2.7 billion, 2. Tiger Woods - Net worth $600 million 3. Robert Johnson – Founder of BET - Net worth $550 million (he took a hit during the recession) 4. Michael Jordan - $525 million 5. Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Jr. - $500 million 6. Bill Cosby - $450 million 7. Sheila Johnson – Robert Johnson’s ex-wife – Net worth $400 million 8.

Quintin Primo III – Founder of real estate financing company Capri Capital - Net worth $300 million.


KastorTroy

What happened to them is that they are clowns just like they look in the picture above. Even there additional business ventures (to make up for the rap game) are trendy. Clothes, liquor, perfume...get some book game!


dollish

imsickoftvnradio

STAYPOPPIN01

LOL @ stormzoe

You already know I disagree. But that ish you say is deep belly laugh material!


STAYPOPPIN01

King Ramses

To add to that, you know it was the younger generation selling crack to the older generation ever since crack started to hit the black community.

Now these crackheads are old or dying, and the younger dudes that sold it to them are full grown with families now and most never smoked it in the first place. Which means it's a dying trade, all that will be left in the near future is the dudes that used to sell it because the crack heads died off.

HEE-HEE HEE HEE-HEE HEE HEE-HEE HEE HEE-HEE HEE HEE-HEE HEE HEE-HEE HEEHEE-HEE HEE HEEHEE-HEE HEE-HEE HEE

pennywise

They need to hire your boy ~Pennywise~. I'll make them a little extra walking around money.


Osakhomwn

My gosh... Oprah is beating the 2nd sport by 4 and a half times! Go ahead Oprah


avjenkins

Oh well. They still have MILLIONS.


SexyMama97

Oprah is just murdering her counterparts!



LibraLove101584

Jay-Z wouldn't have to work another day in his life again! 150 million dollars is still nothing to sneeze at. Hey, he has more than me! Lol.


sojo

Diddy is losing ground and 50 is the hired help. Besides it does not mean that they are not on the list @ all just not at the top.


dcboi

Clearly nobody here knows the difference between INCOME and NET WORTH..It doesnt matter id 50 made 400 mil in income, if he spends it on cars, jewlery, clothes, and other worthless stuff it will bring down his NETWORTH. Most of his INCOME belongs to bill collectors.. Thats why rappers and athletes will ever be biilionaires (except Jordan and Magic cause the dont flaunt thier wealth like idiots).


Sugar-N-Spice

Can't be on top forever.


nunya_bizness

Jay-Z isn't purging like those dudes. It probably cost Diddy and 50 a mill to run their households every month. Jay has Bey to split the bill with.

Dang, Oprah is murfing these dudes, lol.


ChosenMC

like they say be careful who you dump on going up the ladder cuz your going to meet the same people on your way down. This is the net not the actual dollar amount so actually its much less and with the lifestyle before you know it it will be bankruptcy. I respect all these cats they have earned their stripes for better or worse.


ClassyFlashySassy

who cares, they all still have more money than probably all of us combined.


keith331

LOL! [EXPLETIVE] DEM N1GGAS!
