JZ is not even on the list and he's married to the number 2 earner. Interesting.
Maybe Beyonce can afford to get her and her sister some diction lessons.
get it, b
Yeah B! Get yours!!
JZ cake comes from other enterprises.
80 mil!?! In one year!?! Take that Beyonce haters! You can't stop the force that is B.
Damn you gotta love that global white fan base money if you're a musician.

Beyonce should be commended for her accomplishment. She is the only african-american on the list. HI HATERS..........
@BRONX...YOU COULD NOT HAVE PUT IN ANY BETTER WHEN THE WHITE FANS LOVE YOU YEAH THOSE NUMBERS GO UP UP UP......
Damn "The Police"
Do yall need backup singers?
HOW STRANGE THAT JAY Z IS NOT ON THIS LIST...AND OF THE 80MIL BEYONCE MADE SHE PAID OUT MORE THAN HALF.......

wheres fifty? he probably grossed this list combined lol
THIS LIST IS NOT CORRECT!!!!!! WHERE IS 50 AND JAY Z ????????? THIS LIST IS ANOTHER BIG WHITE LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and it's sad she's the only black person on it...as much as is done for entertainment by blacks, they still cut smaller checks for darker skin
Alright... where's Akon?
COSIGN ALL DAY LONG 10:55 DAM THIS WORLD AINT CHANGED MUCH....I GUESS AS LONG AS WHITY RUNNING THINGS IT WILL NEVER BE FAIR FOR BLACK PEOPLE THEY WILL CHOOSE WHICH NEGROS MAKE THE MOST MONEY.....AND BEYONCE IS THE CHOSEN BONAFIDE POSTER GIRL HOUSE NEGRESS....AND THIS IS NOT HATING IF YOU WOULD GET YOUR FACE OUT OF BEYONCE ASS YOU WOULD SEE THE TRUTH........
anon is right, the list is bullshit
Why we black folks always got to blame the white man for everything. B is on the list because she appeals to the world where as, like someone mentioned, Akon and those of this like make music that appeal to urban hip hop heads. Hell my aunt and uncle who are as proudly black as they come don't even waste time on hip hop let alone "young" music but shonuff know and enjoy B's music.
Get your head out your ass and think globally. Oh-- as for Jay n 50, seriously, this is money made from MUSIC, not side ventures. If B and everyone else on the list is making that much by music alone, its safe to assume that they're amassing just as much on endorsements and all their other ventures.
Come my people, look at the pie not the slice.
ok, so who the fuq is Toby Keith? (seriously). And The Police, Celine, Madonna, Van Halen and Genesis still make music??..Just kidding about Madonna, but the rest? What was Gwens last song?

Stop the self hate! We have a black man running for the Presidency - the most powerful position in the WORLD. Who you gonna blame after he's elected? Whitey will be off the hook then.
Black people are powerful and capeable! Stop blaming your problems on others and take responsibility for your own actions.
It's 2008 and the old way of thinking gotta go. Claim your power as a strong black person.
@11:35 WIPE THE SHIT OFF YOUR FACE!!!! IF THAT LIST WAS FARE JAY Z, 50 AND AKON SHOULD BE ON THE LIST...THE LIST IS BULLSHITTT YOUR FULL OF BULLSHITT AND BEYONCE IS STILL A CHOSEN HOUSE NEGRO...!!!! @11:50 MAKE SURE YOU VOTE TOO NIGGA!!!! OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish you people would STFU with all the hate shit. Why the hell does anyone have to hate on Beyonce of all fucking people? I'm happy for her, and at the same time I don't give a flying fuck. The most importnat thing is, THE LIST IS A FUCKING LIE!!! Just because Forbes made the list it doesn't mean it's correct!!! The Eagles is one of the oldest damn bands out there just like the Stones and I know damn well she's not paid better than they are!!! Hell Led Zeppelin just did a tour after having been in hiding for 20 years and those damn tickets sold for 5 grand, so there's no way in hell she did better than them. Use your damn head people, just because Forbes said it doesn't make it law!!!!
Jay is around $20 million... so he's probably not much further down the list
Really who give a fuck? There should be no numbers on that list and all should just read FILTHY.
And fuck 49cent anyways cuz a nigga prob'ly don't get on this list sellin' vitamin water and other bullshit rackets that niggaz get stupid and empty they pockets for. Next topic.
That's my girl!
Give Beyonce a hand clap cause she so work for the money. She is the best performer of our age group.
11:35 AM-cosign
The real question is what they used to come up with this list. Did they count endorcements in addition to concert sales and records sold? What about deals for producing etc... Did Jay go one tour last year? What about Akon? Do the two have endorcements?
49 gon' be mad cuz he didn't make da list based on da fact that his sugar-water sales weren't included. Can't do much better than Jay tho. He bagged him a rich, young, fine & thick as hell, r&b diva, and now he da envy of all them white cats at all da boojwah events they go to. Only problem I can find on B is dem toes aint quite da way a nigga likem.
@beegee-what they look like?
Actually 50 cent grossed 150 mil and JZ 82 mil you'll could look it up on Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/53/celebrities08_The-Celebrity-100_EarningsPrevYear.html). DUH!
bey only 2 milly behind her man. BALLIN!!

Some of guys should understand that this is only the pop forbes list, not overall money makers. Beyonce may be #2 on this list but when they do an overall money maker list she is low on the list. Good for her $80m is alot.....I wonder if she could help our economy?
People should stop praising Beyonce for her money, polls and list are a joke. Yes, B made 80mil but she has to pay for staff, expenses, venues, transportation, lawyers, and so on.
Also Britney will rip Beyonce to shreds when she returns on 12-2......This is a white chick who america loves to hate and this is the biggest comeback ever. IF she play her cards right she will be on this list next year.
why are people chanting yea b get yours like she's gonna share the money with her dusty fans/stans. all celebrity lists are inflated cause the minute they get sued you find out they got about less than a quarter of what they're supposedly worth.
cosign on beyonce being a token house negro. she should be getting more backlash about her always cosign on looking white on magazines but calling herself a black woman.
What is wrong wit you people actin like the list aint real. This was done by Forbes magazine dummies. This is strictly MUSIC sales. Yea them country artists make more than Jay-z. It's real out here.
must be nice.
