@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.
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
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? :)

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

They let the Accountants handle everything and tell them what they are worth on paper. "OH YOU CAN TRUST US"!!! no need to worry about the future,because your future is secure let's create "BRANDS and GENERATIONAL WEALTH" don't worry about cost we will take care of everything for you,just smile and look pretty or gangsta. Meanwhile you are buying basketball teams,opening restaurants,clothing lines,colones et cetera! All the while the moneys POURING OUT INSTEAD OF IN and no telling how much the LAWYERS AND ACCOUNTANTS ARE SKIMMING OFF TOP!!!!!! Unique gifts? 4u2.com

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.
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).
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.
