Oprah Winfrey And Tiger Woods Are Top African American Earners
FEB 5, 2009 AT 08:33 AM
Of COURSE Oprah Winfrey is the richest African American celebrity. She makes $260 million a year. The day she's knocked off her throne I will probably pass out of shock.
Tiger Woods comes in a distant second, earning $100 million, with Jay-Z in third, earning $83 million a year. After that 50 Cent is 4th, making $33 million a year. That's quite a jump between Jay-Z and 50, I'm surprised there aren't a few people in between.
Beyonce, Will Smith, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal all round out the top ten on the Forbes list. Wouldn't it just be nice to be in the top 100 on any Forbes highest earners list???

Not to sound racist but I'm so elated and proud to be a black american who can witness so many successful African Americans on this list. We have come a long way from the cotton fields of the south....to the forbes list, to CEO's, and now the Presidency.
I love me some chocolate...lol!

it is ok to call them black.
"Black" is the color of our skin not our race. I would perfer to be recognized as an AA rather than a "black person". Please respect us and respect will be given!
And before any of you go off the loose end talking about "it's not that serious", let me shut you down right now and say I don't give a dag on about your opinion or insensitivity. Period.
Of course they are, they work so hardest and never being hanging there.
