thecorporatetakeover.net – Forbes recently released their list of “The 10 Top-Earning African American Stars” from June 2006 to June 2007. As you might expect, Oprah dominated the list, as she has done in previous years, with earnings over $260 million—that makes her the highest earning person in Hollywood. Period. Oprah is currently worth over $2.5 billion, and she runs a media empire which includes: Her talk-show, Magazine, website, broadway shows, and constant residuals from Dr. Phil and Rachael Ray. Another media outlet soon to be added to the list is TV station—Oprah signed a deal in January with the Discovery Channel to launch her own TV channel called “OWN” (Oprah Winfrey Network.)

Rappers who appear on the list include: Jay-Z (money from selling Rocawear, ownership in the Nets, record sales)/ 50-Cent (money from his record label, G-unit street fiction books, and–ofcourse—Vitamin Water!), and Will Smith (money comes from $20 million+ a film, and his production company “Overbrook Entertainment.”)

Here is the complete list and rankings:

1. Oprah Winfrey - $260 Million
2. Tiger Woods - $100 Million
3. Jay Z - $83 Million
4. 50 Cent - $33 Million
5. Kobe Bryant - $33 Million
6. Shaquille O’Neil - $32 Million
7. Michael Jordan - $31 Million
8. Will Smith $31 Million
9. Beyonce - $27 Million
10. Lebron James - $27 Million

This shit just seems like a rehash of all of Forbes’ other lists. (News - Business) Views:
