the list isnt legit what kind of mess

[Last Boy on Earth]

And Rihanna still made more money last year than 6 people on that list and was snubbed because you can't just make 19M than the person last place and be the one who topped the social rank more times and not be on the list. So much time wasted in a thread trying to shade her for what?

Interesting list!

• Celine Dion (2004) - $28 million
• Celine Dion (2006) - $40 million

• Celine Dion (2008) - $40 million

was she not on 2009's Celebrity 100? I can't find it online for some reason, but Forbes estimated that she made $100 million in 2009 (http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/22/top...musicians.html, http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/22/top...s_slide_3.html).

She wasn't on it unfortunately. I suppose her TV/web/press rank were too weak.

Looks like it wasn't a great idea to size 1 the OP text.

Size 1 or 24, I get the vibe people don't like reading things that take some form of thought to process.

You're acting as if the OP made up the numbers on the list though. If Forbes doesn't list her, which they don't, that is on Forbes not the OP. Forbes has shady contributors but I don't typically think they have an genda on their lists. I do think it's odd she hasn't ranked but as I've said before I don't have any real insight into how much money these people are taking home.

Where is Rihanna?

alright. that makes sense, but it's kinda weird. you'd think that such high earnings would automatically earn her a spot on the list, considering how many previous lists she'd been ranked on.

[biomind101]

Miley Cyrus!!!

[PopRock2012]

Rihanna is not on the list because she, so far, has never ranked on Forbes Celebrity 100 list for some reason. I'm thinking she might make Wednesday's list though. If Katy made the 2011 list, there's no reason Rihanna shouldn't be on the 2012 list unless she's working for food or cake, lol.

Now see...

[zzmyth]

Rihanna earned 29M $ in 2010.

And I cant remember which year, but she also made some list of under 20's best paid entertainers with around 15M $.

That is bizarre. Even if you're dead last in every other category, If you make 100 million for a year that should get you a Celebrity 100 ranking.

[BreatheGaga]

Why is there a picture of Jessica Simpson and not Lady Gaga?

And Gaga will be #1 on the list in a year or two
Depends if she's making over 100 million $ this years

The key to make the list is actually very simple. Write your own songs.

Ok. Shakira is not on the list.... = forbes = JOKE

We all know that Shakira makes the big bucks specially with Touring.

This was made by the OP . And Rihanna would be on the list

[PopRock2012]

I question who is not on the list at times, but calling Forbes a joke in terms of their annual lists is kind of insane. Their power/earnings lists are the most respected in the industry.

And Gaga will be #1 on the list in a year or two

Not with Mama Madonna touring in the same period she is. Tour, perfume, shoes, clothes, Truth or Dare re-release, MDNA (it may be a flop but it's sold 1.2 million flopping copies)... Madonna also doesn't have weak web ranking to go with the money.

ETA:

This was made by the OP

From the Forbes archive. He/she didn't just pull it out of thin air.
