Bey made $40 million. With no tour, no movie, nothing but her own business endeavors, performances, endorsements, and that chump change she got from her album. QUEEN.
Singers always make way more than actresses. Said this a million times. Angelina was the highest paid actress last year and she 'only' made like $30 million dollars.
Fact is Angelina is #13 on the list and Beyonce is #18 despite Bey having an era out + a lot of buzz because of her pregnancy while Angie only had like a self-directed movie that didn't even do that well.
SHE WAS PREGNANT! The majority of pregnant female's income drops during their 9 months + the time after to recover/spend time with Blue.
