Mediaoutrage- So very interesting. We’re glad Jay, Tiger, and Beyonce all made it in the top 10. That’s a big deal. So hov earned $2million more than his wife. Bee banked $80million! Sheesh! That’s a lot of chedda! Yasmine girl don’t you do it! Don’t slit that wrist up in here up in here! Oprah as expected was still the top dog which is hot so she’s still the most famous and powerful celeb in the world. You get it girl!

Personally I dont want to be a hater, but somebody needs to rob these people! Tiger Woods made 155 mil and cant even say that he is black all because he hits a ball in a hole. Shit, I could put my balls in a woman’s hole and i have to PAY for that shit….
What is this world coming to people?

Lawd Hammercy…the money between Beyonce and Jay Z is ridiculous!
Oprah is always at the top!
I don’t know about Tiger, I mean…good for him, I guess! Not a big fan of his but I won’t hate!

Just wait til Yasmine T finds out that her two favorite people are on the world’s most powerful list. She is going to be ecstatic.
Yasmine T. said
Aw Hell No! LOL MO Yall so funny i was in meetings all morning really wanting to slit my damn wrist these boring ass fucking stiffs i work with. And the lady doing most of the talking had bad ass breath. Thats nice that Camel and his weaved up baby doll made $162million between them. I wonder are they going to file joint tax returns LOL. Someone out here needs a kidney or heart transplant so why don’t Jay just donate half of his LIPS cause that would probably save a good 100 people. Tiger is such a clown i dont like him he’s confused lol. I think he really thinks hes white or asian. SMH. Oprah i love her like my momma. She deserves to keep making it rain on these bitches.

Im happy that we got 4 of our peeps up in that top 10. (im all happy like they gone give me some money lol) Jay and Beyonce are making crazy money wow. I didnt’ know she was caking it up like that. she’s set for life
Lai'Lani said
If she’s making crazy money like that on tour i would make albums just to tour lol
beach chick said
She has staying power though. I can see her reaching Oprah’s status one day. Please don’t bite my head off Yasmine T. but I have to give it to her…she is making that dough 4 sho! Somebody out there wearing House of Doo Doo, and when she has Jay z’s baby camels they will be set 4 life.
Udamnright said
Beach Chick you telling the str8t up truth. HOmegirl already doesn’t have to work another day in her life. LEt’s do the math…she has only dropped 2 solo albums. She has at least a good 6 or 7 in her that will all go platinum. SHe is already getting her feet wet on the acting scene and there;s no director alive that is going to turn down the chance to put a name like hers in his movie. So all she has to really do is perfect her acting craft and then she can really do her music on the side. She doesnt even need house of dereon money. She doesnt need hov’s money either. She is set.

Bey really is set and that’s good because at least it’s known that she don’t need a rich man to take care of her ass. But I’mma take DT’s idea and rob a few folks, I don’t have any shame. I’ll find Tiger and Bey right now. Robbing them for their pocket change will fill my gas tank for the next 8 years.

Lio kicking facts…yep imagine how much money whoever “the man” is that’s signing them enormous checks.
beach chick said
I agree Lio….let me be the woman behind the music and the movie scenes. The person that you never see. I admire her work ethic and business sense. Every single thing she touches turns to gold. She is truly blessed and highly favored!

Nobody needs all that damn money! I am not impressed since I don’t see my name on that MF list. Fuck all of em who got that big dough, they need to take care of the people in need, that is why God blessed them. Give the money away and help others. You don’t need all that damn money for selfish material bullshit. I am an advocate for the hungry, homeless, abused and neglected. That is were their wealth should be shared. I don’t hear enuff giving except for Oprah. Yes, I am bitter I don’t believe in worshipping movie stars, singers, athlethes, etc. They don’t deserve all that money and I don’t buy any of that shit and wait for boot leg.
