Tyler Perry >>>>>>>>>>>>> FAT Beyonce

Yessssssss

Madea Goes To Jail >> *Insert beyonce Film here*

Where's Hil, Miley and other disney sh*ts

and Is Tiger Woods a Celeb?

And what exactly did Britney do in 2008? Released Womanizer?
We'll wait and see who's going to own the 2009 list

This list is completely dumb. I mean, come on. A-Rod, Rush Limbaugh, Danica Patrick, et cetera?

I can see some of the others, but still, there's some that seem too high. Tyler Perry earning over $100 million? Tina, Taylor, and Kelly actually that high? Britney seems way too low as well.

Britney actually released an album in 2008.

Taylor is in no way involved with Disney.

Circus tour*wave

where is Simon Cowell who gets big bucks every episode of his three big shows?

and saing Angelina and Pope Pitt?

Yes she is not. thats why Im asking where they at.

This is 2008. Britney just released Circus at the end of that year. It's obvious she wouldn't be high.

And it's not dumb, people have partnerships etc with companies which give them alot of money.

By Forbes:

#4. Beyonce ($80M): After ditching Destiny's Child to go solo in 2003, the Houston native has released two platinum albums and built a wildly successful entertainment empire that includes fashion, film and publishing deals. She sold $50 million in tickets on a recent tour. Her endorsement contracts, with L'Oréal, American Express and others, bring in $10 million annually

In December, the last month of the year. As I said, we'll wait and see who's going to be ranked high up there in the 2009 list.

Blackout's "hit" single "Piece of Me" and "Break the Ice" along with record breaking "Womanizer" all in 2008. I know people have endorsements from companies, but those are mainly sports stars. Which explains why Tiger Woods is so high. But, seriously, who is endorsing Tyler Perry. Jay-Z seems really high as well. Who is endorsing him?

The bolded ones were Musicians

Oh. So Dead Psycho didn't post the full list. Just the ones listed in the excerpt.

50 Cent almost owned Bey and Jay Z combined

The list I posted was NOT from Forbes. Look at the sources. It's according to Parade.

I see y'all gettin' mad Bey banking so much money while she didn't do anything in 2008 at all except the last 2 months. and Bey still the richest musician female, 2nd female highest paid behind Oprah, and 3rd highest musician overall with the Forbes list anyway

One word-- "Madea". His series of that movie alone was very popular and earned lots of money last year--it still is. Who knows what other projects he has besides that.
