Sam, once again trying to mislead the uninformed here. You know very well that EARNINGS include film, fashion, perfume, endorsements, royalties, performances, appearances, and record sales. So shut up about Bey taking a 'hiatus'. She's built up such an empire that she could retire and still lead the pack for some time to come. If it was ONLY about record sales and performances how would it be possible for people like Elvis and other dead celebs to earn way more above today's hot stars? Of course he'll earn tons from fans visiting Graceland and purchasing memorabilia etc. You guys are pathetic.
