They’re beautiful, talented, and have taken the world by storm, and now- by way of the folks over at Forbes– Beyonce & her one time protege Rihanna have much to celebrate today.
For, they have been named as two of music’s highest earning contributors, earning more money than this year than mutual mentor Jay Z.
Details below…
Despite spending the bulk of this year raising one year old daughter Blue Ivy, Beyonce comes in at #18 despite the fact she did not release new material or tour in the last twelve months. Impressive, considering she generated more capital than many of this year’s chart staples, Coldplay and Jay Z included.
Based on total earnings counted between May 2011 to May 2012, the list would undoubtedly comes as good news for the Rap mogul, whose cash cow Rihanna generated sweet £53 million for both he and his Roc Nation music group, sure to go towards the funding of Rita Ora‘s forthcoming US release.
Earning 13 million more dollars than Beyonce, the tally also saw Rihanna generate $18 million more than ‘Love Song‘ belle Adele ($35 million) and ‘Taboo‘s ‘Sade‘ who closes the Top 25 with £33 million.
Full list below:
1. Dr Dre – $110 Million
2. Roger Waters – $88 Million
3. Elton John – $80 Million
4. U2 – $78 Million
5. Take That – $69 Million
6. Bon Jovi – $60 Million

Sam why the f*** your stay trying to make rita sour happen…….after her flop ass album she’s owing her label money, Rihanna should give her a loan or something
Shut the f*** up you f****** b****, Sam supports talent and Rita is talented so having a seat…on a pointy knife.
Jessie you shut the F** up this little bytch isn’t posted on any of the Other Artist Articles, bytch I do agree with you on ,,,this right here,,,,SAM Supports Talent ,,,,,
Yo broke, pressed black getto fablous ass got that shyt right.. Because that is why RIHANNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Has been Featured a whole lot these last few weeks,
months and years, kiss a skunk in it’s ass. Since there are many Rihanna’s Navy Who Supports this Blog they have a right to speak their Dammmm Peace, Yo Ass don’t own this BLOG SPOT anyway!!!!!
HELL DO YALL WANT THE NAVY TO DO THE “DISSAPPEARING ACT” OR WHAT!!!!!!!
Since Sam And That Grape Juice Supports TALENT then this Little Bytch’s Picture, and thong size , her personal phone number, Calling card should be Posted on every single article they post because as you know Rihanna is the one who’s the Super Star with a Big Ass Navy and still can’t seem to be able to “Pour P*** Out Of A Boot” If you let That Grape Juice Traffic Tell It,,,,, LET YO ASS STFU…..SHYT THE NAVY SUPPORTS THIS BLOG SPOT,,,,,,
This is that Grape Juice Blog Spot and they can post what ever in the F** they want to post they are not hurting Rihanna or Her Navy Because No matter what they Print are how they Print it RIHANNA’S Living is Made,,,,RIHANNA IS A MADE WOMAN,,,AND STILL THE “HBIC”..
And this article is about FORBES,,,,Where is RITA ON THAT LIST “THAT GRAPE JUICE”,,,,
settle down children. nobody gives a damn about your opinions.
We all know what the Grape is trying to do But Hey
@That Grape it’s not going to work, YALL act like
U R trying to Tie a Rope with A “Block Of Cement”
around Rita’s Neck and throwing Her Ass “Over Board”
It’s kind of Sad to see you doing this to Her Because She will Never Ride on RIHANNA’S Coat Tails, Never,,,,
And Jay should Know that we don’t want another RIHANNNNNNA SHYT WE CAN BARELY HANDLE THE
RIHANNNNNNNNA WE GOT!!!!!!!!!
Rita’s voice is 1 billion times better then Rihanna. One thing Rihanna needs to do is come clean with the world about the incident or people will stop supporting her ass. You see what Def Jam is doing? They are going to do the same as they did for Rihanna, do a payola. Just like Rihanna replaced Beyonce, Rita will do the same. Now the only reason Rihanna got that #1 album is because of Chris fans. Yes Teambreezy supported Rihanna’s album. You ask how do I know? Twitter honey
Also this is not the only blog that is pushing Rita either. But as I was saying above some of Teambreezy supporting Rihanna while they don’t do s*** for Chris. Teambreezy was untouchable don’t know what the hell happened to that fanbase but the Navy will be the say very soon, fans will stop supporting Rihanna also. You will see by the songs being requested on the radio. There will be alot of slacking in that field. Oh and I almost forgot. Rihanna man Chris is part owner of his label (CEO) he keeps alot of his money while that money Rihanna made goes to awhole lot of folks/ Congrat to Rihanna though.
Not trying to say that Rihanna is a great singer but Rita a billionx better?? That’s a stretch.
@Stephen then there are a billion who isn’t as good asRihanna I mean who cares I don’t there has always been many who I fell sings harder then Rih do but it don;t mean Jack Shyt to Me and just so you’d know its does not matter how much better Rita is then Rihanna its all about who’s making bank at the end of the day and take the list that’s posted YOU CAN add all of the Cazillion of people whos better but their Names are also Missing from that List, Son!

Rihanna is a working Chick no matter What or who Her Haters think is Better,,,
Once Beyonce hit the spotlight again in 2013 she sure to be in the top 10/top 5. She sure to easily leave Rihanna in the dust. Rihanna is not a promo machine like Beyonce is.
And one thing about Beyonce is that she dont have to resort to stupid antics like Rihanna to get attention, fame or money.
Oh really faking a pregancy isnt an crazy antic gfoh!!
@MUSICMAKESMEHIGH B**** Beyonce aint fake a pregnancy only gullable fools believe that ish. You only had to look at her face and boobs to know she didn’t fake that damn.
@That grape Juice, and the NAVY don’t give one F**
RIHANNA is still in the game and RIHANNA has put the PRESSURE RIGHT WHERE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE
ON BEYONCE, HER HATERS AND THIS BLOG SPOT!!!!!!!!
Only dumb ass stans belive that she carried that little camel troll of a daughter
@MUSICMAKESMEHIGH Oh really? Cos I aint no Beyonce stan, no thanks.
Dyn @music chile lol!
@ LAX Rihanna put pressure on what and who? She is the most basic of all basic female pop stars. You stupid stans going crazy over pathetic ass 230 thousand? That s*** will fall off the charts next week.
@MUSICMAKEMEHIGH!! Why wouldn’t she carry her own child? We saw pics of her in a bikini pregnant. Where is this evidence that she didn’t carry Blue?
@TRUTH people that still believe that rumor are pathetic. Basing it on a ‘folding dress’ when fake bumps don’t even fold LOL. Its hilarious really deep down they know its not true its just an excuse to hate.
@HI5 Yessss Beyonce will leave Rihanna and all the Other Artist’s in the dust Including the Ex Destiny Childs when she come back in 2013,,,
And When Rihanna and the others can have
2 Perfumes By Hilfiger
True Star
True Star Gold
Three Perfumes of Yo Own
Heat
Heat Rush
Pluse
@HI5 I wonder why none of the Ex Destiny Childs have never had a Perfume Line??
@HI5 I wonder why is it that Beyonce seem to be making all the $$$$$ in the world I wonder why is that I mean all of the Other DC
Why did none of the other DC Girls never
went after a Perfumd Deal,,,,
BEYONCE IS GOT HER HUSTLE ON LOCK AND I
AM NOT MAD AT HER ,,,,JUST HOPE RIHANNA KEEP RIGHT ON BEING “INSIPRIED” BY BEYONCE!!!!!
Apart from her work in music, Knowles has also ventured into acting and designing clothes and various perfumes. She made her acting debut in the musical TV film Carmen: A Hip Hopera (2001), prior to appearing in major films, Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002), The Fighting Temptations (2003), Dreamgirls (2006), which earned her two Golden Globe nominations, Cadillac Records (2008) and Obsessed (2009). Knowles introduced her family’s fashion line House of Deréon in 2005, and has endorsed such brands as L’Oréal, Pepsi, Tommy Hilfiger, Nintendo and Vizio.
I LOVE HOW BEYONCE JUST KEEP RIGHT ON MAKING THAT MULAH,,,,RIHANNA KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT BALL BABY GIRL BECAUSE YOU ARE WELL ON YOUR WAY TO PERHAPS BEING ABLE TO SIT ON YOUR TIGHT ASS AND DRAW THEM ROYALITIES LIKE BEY AND BRITNEY AND COUNTLESS OTHERS,,,,
RIGHT NOW RIHANNA ITS OKAY TO WORK YO ASS OFF BECAUSE YOU LOVE WHAT U R DOING AND YOU ARE STILL YOUNG,,,,,
Lax buddy i just want u to know that ‘truth’ isnt me
🙂 🙂 🙂
word to mother beyonce look bad ass s*** standing next to rihanna she makes her look silly
The navy are desperately giving your post a thumbs down but that is the fact of the matter loool…. It’s sad…
This is absolute b******* Mary J. Blige never appears in them and she made a big amount of money this year the tour by itself !
Shouldn’t it be Rihanna and Beyonce? in the headline…based ACCURATELY on the list??? and why is Rita on this post??? it has nothing to do with her. I understand that you want to promote her but putting her on every post possible is a turn off believe me!
Rihanna is Beyonce’s employee so the title is right tbh.
HATERS ARE LIARS.
LOTUS IS OVER .
@Bionic,,,,, yes we know and each and everything Rih Accomplishes is compared to Beyonce who’s going to have to go back to the drawing board as i type,,,and yo ass know that i am still learning how to do that!!!!!
She is managed by Roc Nation, she doesn’t work for them. They work for her and Jay Z also said she is in full control of her own career. By the type of sales and gross she makes from her brand I wouldn’t be surprised if she is in control because she is too huge now to be a puppet.
I can not believe they even wrote this article. This site has ZERO journalistic integrity. The troll bait is soooo obvious
So with all Nicki Minaj’s boasting…..b**** can’t even make the top 25?
Neither the other female rappers and she still winning over them. Still stacking but she just wasn’t on the list. Oh well. People are not “broke” based on a list. It’s just highest earnings. That’s all.
DEATH @ u bringing up QUEEN
she made hip hop earners top LIST !
ONLY FEMALE !
U MAD F*** ? KI !
Yasssss Rihanna!!! Show them how much $$$ a ‘SINGLES’ ARTIST MAKE!!!!!! LOL!!! And you really didn’t do much s*** after TTT released!
Sam is probably gagging right now!!! Rita could and will never make it into the Top 1000 Forbes Music Rich List
‘You really didn’t do much s*** after TTT released’ Wow understatement of the year.
^ I was just about to say this . KI !
publicity stunts
still posting pics of cb on social networks & being reblogged on tumblr
U cant escape that bigforeheaded m***** d*** !
Ok lets go with what you said, what does publicity stunts or pictures have to do with rihanna getting money??
they dont pay to look at pictures or read post on the internet your comment is void. She did not do much after ttt in terms of making money.
OOOOOOOOOOH This Rita song goes in.
It does doesn’t it.
“Based on total earnings counted between May 2011 to May 2012” Beyonce release 4 (i’m not gonna call it 4lop) in June 2011 so that “Beyonce comes in at #18 despite the fact she did not release new material or tour in the last twelve months” B******* can go in the trash.
The problem with this site is that it goes out of it’s way to shade people that they don’t like even though they seatin pretty in the WINNING column and try to hind the true Flopping tendencies of their favs. the end result is a true lack of journalistic standards and misinform readers…..just my two cents
But is it truth or not, ugly ?..
I see no lies typed ,
Beyonce album came out in 2011
rishitta has had two since
y’all dont want RISHITTA dragged but u try to drag true QUEENS of their genre IE queen Minaj
when u FLOPS stop coming for individuals with more talent, you can thrive with your fave ! KI !
Girl, you need to read before you type.
list is for MAY 2011 to MAY 2012
that means that from the may of last year (2011) to the may of this year (2012), so beyonce is included because guess what the list counts 2011. rihanna released one album in that time frame
unapologectic came out november 2012, it does not count for this list
read carefully because i know you have a hard time doing that.
and nicki aint even close to any real queens sales, even beyonce who did nothing big sold more than twice what nicki sold, and rihanna too. nicki stays on keri hilson, and ciara levels.
Uhm please explain the b******* you see. I would like to be enlightened.
ALL I SEE IS SIGNS, ALL I SEE IS DOLLA SIGNS!!!! STILL GOT MO’ MONEYYY!!!!! POUR IT UP POUR IT UP!!!!
ALL I SEE IS 360!!!!!!!!
EH EH EH !
**IN TEARS!!!!!!!!**
➡
*CRIES* LMFAO!!!!!
These people are clueless!!
Anyway at the end of the day, a big chunk of that money Rih makes goes to the Carter household. So to the stupid Beyonce fans that don’t want Rihanna to be successful THINK AGAIN!! A win for Rih is a win for the Carter household!
you guys are clueless, carter dont get that money, he gets a small percent after all of the expenses for her album and touring and videos are paid for, then the label gets the money, ie her manager at roc nation which jay z is not. he does not get all profits he gets a small percent of the revenue that roc nation generates.
SLAY them h*** RIH!!!!
This is b*******.
Wasn’t Britney Spears worth $32 million a couple of years ago? how did she make 26 million that fast?
F***, britney wipes her ass with R**** money & everyone else !
That white h** pops a zoloft & goes on stage & still gets tickets sold
when will your flop EVA ?!
You might as well take what Rihanna made and split it between Jay, Blue and Bey.360 contracts are a b**** aint they?
@beywho,,,,and even after that the Bytch is still paid…
Jay dont own s*** of rihanna she can fire jay if she wants to but since jay aint taking her money she wont! Rihanna is jays lil sister he is only taking 1.5% ask rihanna now def jam is a different story.
Jay pretty much owns Rihanna. She is signed to his record label and every time she makes money, a big portion of that goes to him.
jay z dont own def jam dumb f***!
R**** cant fire s*** !!!!!!!
She is on Jay z lablel ! meaning signed to him !
he does not manage her !
LOL @ y’alls gullible asses LOL LOL LOL
When she signed her contract, it is a 360
mean all the profits made go back to Roc nation to cover her tour, travel expenses ETC
thats why she releases yearly
she wants to travel on yachts, etc .
SO SHE MUST PRODUCE PRODUCE PRODUCE !!!
Like a work horse !! or should I say goat ! KI !
Lol, Beyonce can take a break and only 13mil behind Rihanna. She cruising easy in top 20. Woohoo. Who would be sweating by mid 2013, panting, running on empty and outta breathe, getting sick and on IU in the intensive? 🙂
@that grape Now yo ass know Bey love that spot light
and she can’t stand that Bajan Bytche getting all that shine,,,,
Beyonce’s ass sure did not have that much paper when she was 24,,,,Where are the rest of the Destiny Childs Numbers, Bytches…
DID BEYONCE TAKE ALL OF THEIR MONEY SITTING ON HER BOOTY PADS,,,,ALL THE WHILE OPENING CLOTHING STORES IN LONDON,,,,
APPEARING IN TUBBIE TUDDLES CARTOONS
ENDOREEMENTS EVERYTHING FROM BOTTLE WATER TO
BRITNEY SPEARS DID NOT TOUR EITHER,,,
Who gives a s*** about Destiny’s Child. Beyonce was not a business woman like she is now when she was 24 .
Beyonce ain’t worried about a basic talentless chick like Rihanna. She’s got talent unlike your Curry Goat attention w**** idol.
Congrats to Beyonce and Katy Perry!
and rihanna hating ass b****!
STFU, Samantha. I noticed that you didn’t mention Britney, and she’s higher than both and earned more money.
Britney came right behind Oprah with the highest earnings on the other list. And Beyonce is #18, that is not a high rank.
Davidina and Samantha…#BYE.
Hahahaha. I don’t think the shade was intentional this time, they stan for her all the time.
YAY now Rihanna can afford to pay for p**** rejuvenation since her walls have been blown out by so many industry love rods.
One of those rods being Ciara’s.
I refuse to have a member of the CSQUADE come for rihanna, its time for you loser to face it, when would cerror’s name ever be on this list???
Ciara has BEEN rich ok. She has BEEN rich. She keeps her money but Rihanna has to give hers away like she distributes her v***** to any man she meets. Even Calvin Harris said she wanted to jump his skinny bones.
Ciara will never make it on any rich list!!! She shoild just stick to f****** for tracks and athletes b****!!!
Ciara paid for her OWN videos f*** !
She has no 360 deal !
Lest we forget, she was signed to LA reid !
Goat can’t free herself !!! KI !
Yes Queen RiRi
That’s a pretty pic of Selena.
QUEEN of p***.. ?
YAAAS RIHANNA IS AHEAD OF KATY ADELE BEYFOLP& GAGA OOOOOOOOOO S***! !!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Beyflop? Coming from a Rihanna stan? LOL! 4 sold over 315,000 in the first week, had no hits and went triple platinum all over the world. Rihanna has a hit, and still barely sold 235,000. Now THAT is a FLOP!

Rihanna released an album, plenty of singles, a fragrance, a movie, and went on a tour yet she only made 8 million more than Katy? Interesting. I guess that’s what happens when you dont write your own material and dont get credited as a songwriter. Oh well. Congrats to all on this list

This list is old i remember reading a sermons one at the beginning of the year.
funny if roc nation manages rih rodent that make them her employees? Just checking. And i sorry but @bionicbey is an idiot, bosses pay employees not the other way around if rih was bey’s employee bey be paying rih’s bills.
No b****, the list is new. Forbes released it today.
No, honey
Bosses pay employees with the earnings of the EMPLOYEE
meaning R**** can bust her hump 365/24/7
Make 100mil and Beyonce/ Jay will take 30% of that
So if Beyonce aint got S*** that yr , she has 30 out of 100 dollars of Rihanna worth from the yr !~
ever wonder why managers do less work than hourly workers ?
SIMPLE LOGIC ! LOL
GO BEY AND RIH MAKE THAT MONEY B****** $$$$$$
“sure to go towards the funding of Rita Ora‘s forthcoming US release.” Yea cause she’s not bringing any money to the table.
2013 Beyonce will slayyy that list.
MARIAH IS AT 500 MILLION. QUIT PLAYING TGJ. SHE IS SHITTING ON ALL THEM H***.

RIH IS FLOPPING!!!!
Ok i have to admit it this time. I like that Rita song.
Yes @ Sam shamelessly promoting Rita!!! This is why I love TGJ 😀
I think Rita comes on this site sometimes. They love her so much.
B**** bye! I was on UK mix last month and someone spilled the true tea behind everything. Davidina only stans for Whora because they grew up on the same block in London.
OOooh child! That tea is sweet! Would never have guessed that but now all the shameless promo makes sense.

Forbes magazine has released its ranking of the world’s highest paid musicians for 2012. Actually making music, it turns out, is not necessarily the most lucrative revenue stream.
dr dre gym.jpg Hip-hop producer Dr. Dre topped Forbes’ list of 2012’s highest paid musicians.
Dr. Dre, the rap producer who largely defined the West Coast sound in its early ‘90s heyday, topped the list by earning an estimated $110 million between May 2011 and May 2012, the time period considered for the list. But the bulk of that cash wasn’t from his producer’s fees, songwriting royalties or performances. Dre made around $100 million, writes Forbes’ Zack O’Malley Greenburg, when he sold a 51 percent stake in his Beats by Dre line of headphones to Taiwan-based mobile device maker HTC Corporation.
WHERE THE F*** DOES THAT SAY 2011? GIVE GIVE UP WE ALL KNOW BEYONCE GOT £40M WITHOUT 100 DATES TOURING
http://www.forbes.com/profile/beyonce-knowles/
4 SOLD 3 MILLION WW. THAT’S MORE THEN TTT. YOU SEEM MAD THAT R****** ONLY SOLD 200 THOUSAND 1ST WEEK! FLOP!
WHERE IS LAX .
IN THE TRASH WHERE HIS GAY ASS BELONGS JUST LIKE UNAPOLOGETIC! LMAOOOOOO
H**
We see u f*** ! KI !
Beyoncé only worked for 3 months in 2011 and she got $40 million. R****** had Loud tour (98 concerts), two albums, plenty of singles, perfumes, a 200-million-budget movie, a tv show and other b******* and she only made $53 million? LOL. PATHETIC. King Bee makes more money than these b****** while sleeping. Beyoncé will probably make $100 million next year.
JAY Z KEEPS R**** S 25% of the money, and 25% goes to def jam 25% goes to writer and choegraphers 5% goes on delusional hair R**** ONLY KEEPS 10% OF THE MONEY WHICH PROVE SHE IS NOTHING BUT A S****
DREAM ABOUT THAT . DIAMONDS WORLD TOUR IS COMING , N*** FRAGRANCE , NEW ALBUM IN STORES , RIVER ISLAND SPRING COLLECTION ,
That tour will flop like her other tours, her album just flopped and no one buys her s***** fragrances. R**** IS A FLOP.
So is Samantha telling me besides the MAJOR losses, Gay-Z will still fund Rita Ora? LMAO Gay Z is a bigger idiot than I thought, really such levels of stupidity should be illegal. Jay-Z is an illiterate ex drug dealer high school drop out who married a thief with the dumbest fan base in the world so really, this stupidity isn’t all that surprising. LA Reid or Jimmy Iovine would not tolerate Rita Ora. Education is truly liberating.
SO TRUE COPYCAT BEYAIDS
‘Gay Z’ is responsible for your faves career existance have more respect. Rihanna wouldn’t rate you for saying that s*** about him, hes like a father figure to her. Who really cares about Rita, Im surprised you guys wanna bring her up like shes some kind of threat, even I know she aint s*** compared to Rihanna.
@ SAINT TROPEZ A Rihanna stan should never call someone a copycat. Her new album cover is a Lady Gaga RIP OFF. Everything R**** does is copied from someone else.
@Rihanna is a FLOP
PREACH !!
SAM IS SO DELUSIONAL .I LIKE THAT . STAY LIKE THAT . BECAUSE IN REAL WORLD RIH IS WINNIN
This aint mars, f*** !
SHINE BRIGHT PRESSED B****** LIKE BEEHIVES , FLOPTINA CIARA
UNAPOLOGETIC FLOPPED! DIAMONDS FLOPPED! R****** IS A FLOP.
ARE YOU SURE . THINK TWICE IDIOT. SHOW ME WHO IS NUMBER 1 IN HOT 100 HOT 200
DELUSIONAL
Diamonds is not the hit you Rihanna stans want to make it out to be. And Unapologetic selling 230 thousand in it’s 1st week is not anything great. It’s rather low and embarrassing
With all the big promotion she did, it under performed.
A flop is a flop
^^ SHE A SINGLES ARTIST NOW ! KI !
Even Pink zoomed past her on Black friday 🙁
#POE THANG !
Can we please just give Rita Ora a rest. No one is concerned about her on this side of the Atlantic….you can keep her over there.
Where she been dominating ! KI !
Ya’ll pressed asses claim y’all don’t like someone yet took it upon yourself to comment
I read right past sam’s rita comments
so how is it that Rihanna Nazi saw them ?
Do she got you worried, ? 🙂
Im not about to hate on Rihanna because it ain’t doin s*** for my life. I’m gonna congratulate and keep it moving. It’s just nice to see a Carribean girl making it so big. My family is from the left side of an island too, so I can definitely relate.
Lastly congrats to the one and only King Bey. Nobody else in the game can do nothing while being pregnant and still manage to make $40+ million dollars in a single year.
Well done ladies!
Yall dumb ass stans think that beyonce while pregnant with her pillow just did nothing!!? Um that b**** did more than rijanna and katy combined its just that n one was buying her brands except for her hood stans!!! Britney didnt promote anything now she deserves the title of a bad b****!!
I dont recall her doing anything else besides performing for the VMA’s. I don’t know much about how Britney promoted her album but she did have a few hits unlike Beyonce with her “4” album so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove. You’re putting up a bad case.
And thank you, you said nobody was buying her stuff except for her “hood” fans yet she still managed to make that much money so doesn’t that mean the King is still reigning supreme?
You just proved my point.
4 was the biggest selling RnB album out last year. Over 3 million worldwide.
All those artists, Britney, Rihanna and Katy Perry toured last year. Beyonce didn’t do any big tours and still had huge success.
BEYHIVE GET THIS CERTIFY ONLY 3MILLION LEFT TO HIT 100MILLION MARK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHp2KgyQUFk&feature=BFa&list=UU9zX2xZIJ4cnwRsgBpHGvMg

Forbes magazine has released its ranking of the world’s highest paid musicians for 2012. Actually making music, it turns out, is not necessarily the most lucrative revenue stream.
dr dre gym.jpg Hip-hop producer Dr. Dre topped Forbes’ list of 2012’s highest paid musicians.
Dr. Dre, the rap producer who largely defined the West Coast sound in its early ‘90s heyday, topped the list by earning an estimated $110 million between May 2011 and May 2012, the time period considered for the list.

THE FACTS CANT BE CHANGED
Wait does this mean that riri made 106mil between may 2011 and november 2012?

90 DATES LOSER
Beyonces not underperforming though where is making $40 mill in your least promoted era underperforming.
Really? Do you have an excuse why Unapologetic sold a low 200 thousand? You shouldn’t talk about anyone under performing. 4 sold more than that in the 1st week and stayed number 1 for a couple of weeks. It sold over 3 million worldwide. The most successful RnB album of last year. She made 40 milion basically doing nothing. That is not under performing.
Underperforming? What has she performed tho b****? U always have an excuse why she is and always will be top notch over rihforehead?
gurl get some C*** asap , with that statement. 🙂
DREAM ABOUT THAT . DIAMONDS WORLD TOUR IS COMING , N*** FRAGRANCE , NEW ALBUM IN STORES , RIVER ISLAND SPRING COLLECTION

UNAPOLOGETIC IS A FLOP! STAY MAD B****!
THE POWER OF KING B!
That’s very true. Everyone else had to actually work to keep their coins. 😀 That’s shade in itself.
Get it Dr. Dre! The Chronic will forever be known as one of the most significant CDs in Rap history! I also like that he has been able to move past all of his flaws (beat the hell out of and literally choked out Dee Barns, a female radio personality in LA) to at 40-somthing, be standing on top of the music world!! Go Dre 🙂
STAY MAD C****
STAY MAD OVER UNAPOLOGETIC BEING A FLOP!
DENMARK:
Diamonds –>> PLATINUM
Unapologetic –>> GOLD = 10.000

THAT RIHANNA REIGN JUST WONT LET UP
IT DID. UNAPOLOGETIC FLOPPED!
STAY MAD As Rihanna soaks in the success of “Unapologetic,” which, as previously reported, becomes her first Billboard 200 No. 1 album, bowing with 238,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan, she maintains her No. 1 ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week with the set’s lead single, “Diamonds.”
Rihanna is just the second artist this year to lead both of Billboard’s signature album and song rankings simultaneously. Adele doubled up atop the tallies, respectively, the weeks of Feb. 4 and 11 with “21” (which passes 10 million in sales this week, according to SoundScan) and the set’s third Hot 100 No. 1, “Set Fire to the Rain.”
Adele was the only act to earn such a twofold command last year. “21” lead single “Rolling in the Deep” led the Hot 100 for four of its seven total weeks at No. 1 while the album topped the Billboard 200. Second single “Someone Like You” did the same (for one of its five total weeks in charge of the Hot 100) the week of Nov. 5, 2011. (“21” has totaled 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 overall, marking the chart’s longest reign since Prince and the Revolution’s “Purple Rain” also ruled for 24 frames in 1985.)
The last artist before Adele to control the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 concurrently did so with Rihanna’s assistance. For four of the seven weeks that Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna, led the Hot 100 in summer 2010, the rapper’s album “Recovery” held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. Earlier that year, Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” was amid its nine-week Hot 100 dominance while her debut album “Animal” roared onto the Billboard 200 at No. 1 (Jan. 23, 2010).
“Diamonds” shines again atop the Hot 100, fueled prominently by its 8% gain on the Radio Songs chart, where it holds at No. 2 with 126 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS. It tallies a third week atop On-Demand Songs with 1.08 million on-demand streams (up 3%) (and 1.24 million overall streams), according to BDS. “Diamonds” dips 1-2 on Digital Songs, although it increases by 3% to 176,000 downloads sold, according to SoundScan.
“Diamonds” (atop Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for an eighth week) handily wins the race to No. 1 on the Hot 100, leading Ke$ha’s “Die Young” (3-2) by approximately 5,000 chart points. “Diamonds” gains by 5% in overall points, while “Young” surges by 7%. The latter title pushes 5-3 on Hot 100 Airplay (115 million, up 7%), while remaining at No. 4 on Hot Digital Songs (151,000, up 14%) and slipping 2-3 on On-Demand Songs (870,000, down 4%
238,000? LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FLOP!
BILLBOARD 200 NUMBER 1 . IT SEEMS LIKE FLOP
I AM WAITING FOR YOUR FAVE TO COME TO NUMBER 7 AND THEN HAVE A REAL TALK
That is a flop. Beyonce had NO #1 hits, no tour and still sold 320 thousand 1st week and was #1 for 4 weeks. Diamonds is a hit but Rihanna still couldn’t sell more than that? That is called a Flop. Sorry but it’s true.

She has 12 #1 hits, too
and if she’s Irrelevant, R**** is well on her way !KI !
People really need to stop insulting Beyonces child on this site its really disgusting. Stop taking advantage of the freedom this site gives you, you should still have your morals in place. Thats an innocent child just because shes Jay Z and Beyonce’s daughter, it is wrong on all levels to cuss off a baby. Insult Jay, Bey whoever they are adults who can take it and who put themselves in that industry. But a baby? The only people you are shaming here is yourselves imagine if someone said that about your child, sister/brother, niece/nephew etc. Thats not nice Blue Ivy is a beautiful baby anyway.
Well done BEYONCE.
RIH THE YOUNGEST ARTIST ON EARTH TO HEADLINE STADE DE FRANCE . WHEN BEYONCE WAS 24 , COULDNT SHE DO THAT OH HOW SAD I FEEL FOR THAT C*** WHO ONLY SCREAMS
When Beyonce was 24 she classic hits! Rihanna doesn’t have s*** and sounds like an Island Goat being strangled.
UMBRELLA SHITS ON BEYONCE DISCOGRAPHY
10 W0RLDWIDE NUMBER 1 HITS MAKE ME THINK YOU ARE DELUSIONAL
10 SONGS LOVED WORLDWIDE
THIS SPEAKS TOO MUCH
NO ONE LISTENS TO UMBRELLA.
RIHANNA’S ENTIRE MUSIC IS FORGETTABLE!
YOU ARE BEYOND DELUSIONAL
FLOP!!!
Can music sales give Rihanna some talent??? That would be nice.
OH YEAH , THIE PROBLEM IS , YOU CAN SEE IN SOMEONE TALENT BUT ANOTHER PERSON CANT THINK DIFFERENTLY , BUT THE SALES AND STATS ARE OBJECTIVE
WE ALL SEE AND HEAR THAT RIHANNA HAS 0 TALENT.
YAAAAAAAAAAS !
OH YEAH , THIE PROBLEM IS , YOU CAN SEE IN SOMEONE TALENT BUT ANOTHER PERSON CANT THINK DIFFERENTLY , BUT THE SALES AND STATS ARE OBJECTIVE. SO RIH WINS
BEYONCE, GAGA, TAYLOR SWIFT, BRITNEY AND ADELE ALL OUTSOLD RIHANNA.
DIAMONDS FLOPPED!!!
TALK THAT TALK FLOPPED!!!
UNAPOLOGETIC FLOPPED!!!
YOU FLOOOOOOOOOOOPED AND THIS THE MOST CONVINCING FACT ON EARTH
Nicki outsold that h** !
253k>>>>238k ! KI!
Now thats facts !
How is it any different from riri from may 2012 to november 2012 riri did nothing too. She came back in october to start work on the release of unapologetic. Riri was on a break and so was bey and riri stil made more
Rihanna was on tour in summer 2011.
Rihanna was ALL OVER THE PLACE in that time are you living under a rock???
MEDIA SHADES CIARA WITH RIHANNA QOUTES OH YEAH
Struggling R&B chanteuse Ciara has announced she will be embarking on a joint tour with pop crooner Taio Cruz.
‘Radio Maliboom Boom Station Invasion Concert Tour’ is the name of the upcoming 10 city trek. With two failed albums now under her belt, the 25-year-old is now living up to her infamous “selling records is a small fraction of branding, but touring is where the money is”.
And with a hot-headed Rihanna telling her “Good luck with booking that stage you speak of”, the high octane performer appears determined to press on with things. We’re sure Ciara will be all energy and abs as she lights up the stage but will she be able to forge a music comeback in the long run?
OH RIH SOLD NEARLY 40000 COPIES IN FRANCE THIS WEEK WITH
UNAPOLOGETIC . WOW . I AM SO HAPPY AND DIAMONDS PASSED 100000 MARK
40, 000? FLOP!!!
BUT BEYONCE SOLD 50000 OVERALL , WHILE RIHANNA SOLD THAT IN A WEEK. WHO IS THE FLOP YOU GHETTO ASS
DEATH @ NEARLY 40k ! KI ! THE STRUGGLE IS REAL !
Yes bey took a break in this time frame but so did riri and she still out earned bey.
What b*******, b****. R****** didn’t take any break. She had Loud tour (98 shows) between June 4 and December 22 . A flop movie called Battleshit. A flop tv show called ‘Styled to Flop’. A bottled toilet water which her delusional fans call “perfume”. A bunch of singles. Two eras (Loud and Talk That Flop). LOL. You’re so delusional. R****** doesn’t take a break since Rated Flop era started.
If Beyoncé had gone on tour, she woud’ve earned at least $80 million. Beyoncé is the f****** boss. The only b**** who can do nothing and get paid.
I know that it’s PATHETIC to see R****** working her ass off and getting only dust while THE KING gets money effortless. That’s why she’s THE BOSS!
OH THE IRONY …..TRICK ARE FOR KIDS…..Gilberto they don’t get it .
Dang! Sade still doing the damn thing.
The power of King Beyonce , anyone with common sense knows that Bey only worked from May 2011 til early Oct 2011 and still made 40+ Millions with an so called flop era,oh the IRONY. While on the other hand Rihanna made 53 million, and she was everywhere keep it 100000 Navy. No one is talking anything away from Rih but please use both sides of you brain. Congrats to all that made the list. BLACK GIRLS ROCK(KING AND QUEEN BEYONCE AND PRINCESS RIHANNA)

IT’s not hard to do payola !
Its UNETHICAL ! why would ciara, xtina, etc. have to do that? It’s pathetic !
They already paid !
BEYONCE IS DEFINITION OF C***
What b****? The King has been with the same man for over a decade. She dated him, married him and had a baby with him. That’s what you call C***? B****, PLEASE! C*** is R****** who let half of Hollywood f*** her, the oher half didn’t want because they’re afraid of getting h*****. Chris Brown f**** her anytime he wants. He treats her like a cheap h**.
I know that you think C*** is a compliment, but it isn’t.
PROOFS ,BUT TO BEYONCE IS THE BEST COMPLIMENT . IT SUITS HER VERY WELL
IT SUITS YOU AND RIHFLOP MORE!!!
Oh the delusion of this person.
BEYONCE NEED TO KISS RIHANNA S BEAUTIFUL ASS TO GET A PIECE OF THIS LEGENDARY WOMAN.
THE ONLY LEGENDARY THING ABOUT R**** IS THAT ASS KICKING SHE GOT FROM CHRIS BROWN!! HA HA
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHHAAA!!!
WELL DONE GAGA. 🙂 🙂
mmmmmm…. im glad to see BIG AND TOP FIGURES in the TOP 10 like U2,BON JOVI and the LEGENDARY MISS BRITNEY SPEARS at n°7…. anyway congrats to rihanna and beyonce.. both are great artists and hardworking, it is nonesense that fans fight for their favourite.
SO MANY BEEAIDS PRESSED TO DEATH , BECAUSE WE HAVE THE STATS , THEY ONLY HAVE THER FRUSTATION
THE STATS ARE IN B****! AND R**** FLOPPED!!!!!
YOU HAVE FRUSTRATION OVER DIAMONDS BEING A FLOP!!
YOU HAVE FRUSTRATION OVER UNAPOLOGETIC FLOPPING WITH S***** 200,000 1ST WEEK SALES.
BRITNEY IS THE HIGHEST RANKING FEMALE. Britney is SITTING ON A CHAIR on the xfactor and she makes MORE money than Rihanna who brings out an album each year. She makes more money than Beyonce as well.
She had a 79-show flop tour in 2011, so shut your damn mouth, b****. Everyone knows that going on tour is where the money comes for singers. She also had a 15-million deal to do that flop tv show. In other words, she only made 43kk from selling her flop album, her flop singles, her flop tour and her other flop deals. The King made $40 million without going on tour, if she did she would’ve made at least $80 million. THE KING IS THE BOSS!
P.S. Don’t forget that 4 and Talk That Flop sold more than Femme Floptale.
She had one of the highest grossing tours of that year. Don’t talk flops when your fave flopped and now is on instagram begging for attention. Even if 4 sold more FF had number ones and top ten hits. IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF? Lol did it come to that. Brit always out grosses Beyonce so just take deep breath and deal with numbers and facts.
ROUND FOUR WHERE YOU AT????
If Bey would have been begging for attention she woulda been posting more pics on instagram and on her twitter everyday like Rihanna. It’s quite the opposite tho. She has not said a word on twitter except 1 tweet and got like over 4million. That’s power.
gilberto ohhhhhhh please!!! flop singles??? britney had 3 top 10 in billboard hot 100!! her femme fatale tour wasone of the most grossing tours and the X factor is no a flop either. get real seriously!!!!!!!!
Yes, drag this Beyfoon!! DEATH @ flop singles when HIAM outsold every single released from 4 combined!!
Congrats to the 1 and only KING B!
Britney is sitting on top of both of them ha!
the real princess of pop !! no one can beat britney!!!!!!
This is getting really stupid…why not post the picture of the top of the list?
And WHAT THE HELL IS RITA ORA DOING HERE?
She has talent, but TGJ makes her look annoying.
Why is Rita here? Sam is promoting her that’s why she is here. I bet you all listened to her music LMAO
But this Forbes’s article don’t mention Rita
There must be a DUET @BEYONCE FT @RIHANNA
I will not die in peace without seeing these two goddesses together¡¡¡¡
If someone agrees with me, please help me in social networks to extend¡¡¡
R&B HOTTEST GIRLS IN D GAMEEEEE¡¡
STOP THAT
Sorry no way, I don’t want my queen to have to hold back on her singing and dancing capabilities for the sake of a lesser. Cos we all know who would CRUSH who at full force.
Bey stans better get their s*** together
is this list from may2011 to may 2012 or from may2012 to november 2012 cause either way riri wins. In the first time frame both were busy promoting their albums bey more so then riri and riri stil made more and in the second both took a break and riri still made more.
Rihanna was on tour all of last year. Beyonce promoted her album that’s it. Touring is different. Beyonce didn’t do s*** and STILL made 40 mill. Plus that 53 mill Rihanna made you best believe a big part of that chunk goes to Beyonce’s pocket.
WHAT break did riri take, stop lying see this is why the hive go in on the titanics, but then you people want to say we hating.
@BLUE
B****, please! According to Forbes, that list is from May 2011 through May 2012. Can’t you read, dumb b****? R****** had 98-show tour with Loud, Loud and Talk That Flop era, a movie, a tv show and other b*******. She made +50kk. The King only had the 4 era and she promoted it for 3 months or so, she made f****** 40kk. Picture the difference? R****** worked her ass off and she barely made what The King did while she was having a baby. LOL. Beyoncé is coming with huge things in 2013, I bet she’ll bring home at least $80kk.
B****** YOU ARE SO PRESSED ABOUT RIH SUCCESS . SHE IS THE GOD OF MUSIC. YOU SHOULD ABIDE TO HER ,
What success? 230 thousand in the first week is a flop
Adele is the only God of music now. 25 million with 1 album
God of music? Oh now you are sounding real stupid

Why is there so much talk about BEYONCE doing nothing for the past one year and staying comfortably at top 20???? REALLY? Beyonce loves and craves attention!
In the last year, she made a song for the UN and participated in a huge fundraiser….that’s work! She posts pictures of her baby any chance she gets…that’s publicity. She’s worked on President Obama’s campaign….that’s staying relevant. Working on 5th studio album…In My 2012 played in Atlantic City for 4 days. I will leave magazine covers out…
PLEASE!!!! THE LIST IS LONG! (Also bowed out of Clint Eastwood’s film, due to scheduling conflicts) My point is leave Riri alone!!!! She works hard for her money and her promotional team and fan base ROCK! There is a huge difference between 40 million and 53 MILLION = 13 MILLION!
NO ONE CRAVES AND LOVES ATTENTION MORE THAN RIHANNA. YOU STUPID STANS NEED TO GET A LIFE. YOU’RE NOT GETTING ANY OF HER MONEY.
*In May, played in Atlantic city*
Any chance she gets? There have been 6 official pictures from Beyonce since she gave birth almost a year ago. Only 3 of which show the her face and thats because her fans keep asking. If she didn’t put anything up haters would call her detatched from her fans and other b******* Now sit the F*** down.
RIH IS S*** AND SHE KNOWS IT . ALL WANT TO HAVE S** WITH HER . NONE WITH THEN THE GOOD WIFE BEYONCE ,
Lil Wayne is going in the right direction, he says he is retiring. I bet Rihanna can’t retire because she owes. You people don’t know the name of the game, all you see is $$$$ that really don’t belong to some of these artists. Bey & Jay have nothing to worry about they can retire from singing right now and money will still flow in.
Rioe can’t retire she owes on her mortgage, cars, etc !
That island goat betta get to work !
Nicki will retire b4 that h** ! KI!
Nazi thinks when ppl dont release new material, they’ve flopped into oblivion
quite the opposite !
When u can take a break (Nicki, beyonce) come back & still go #1 . . . THATS WHEN U HAVE SOMETHING !
R**** is trash !
KING RIHHHHHHHHHH
THE LITTLE GIRL FROM BARBADOS EARNS MORE THAN BEYAIDS.
A*** is what led CB to bash that goat big ass head thru that window, F*** … KI
WHO MAD ?
I LOOOOVE YOUUUUUU RIHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA YOU ARE THE ONLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GIIIIIIIIIIRL IN THE WOOOOOOOOOORD
BEYONCE EARNED 40 MILLION DOING NOTHING!
riHANNA WENT ON TOUR, HAD A MOVIE AND STILL MADE ONLY 53 MILLION?
and how much you have *sips tea”
Only $13 million less than your fave, most of the time spent being preggo, how lovely *flicks hair and files nails*
More than rishitta after her 360 @Navi
NOW SIMMER !!!!!!!!!
LMAO @ you pressed+steamed+burnt stans making up lies!! David doesn’t run TGJ, Sam does!!! Yall can stay mad
This list is a little bit strange to me. How many of these lists do these magazines release a year??? What are they based on?
And also, do people have in mind this is not the money these artists earn? That is just what they (supossedly) generated?
The ones stanning for money and these superficial lists are pathetic. You are not getting any of that, and your faves being there doesn´t mean they are the most talented, iconic and the biggest artists, not even at the moment. For example Adele is, and she is far from #1
Look a all these people fighting for what celebrity has earned more money.
first generating and bringing home are 2 different things
second most times these artist and their publicist fabricate numbers anyway
but i’m sure they are all rich. very rich
Thank u ! this list can not tell u what ppl make & have !
Assets include stock, etc !
Who’s to say Beyonce/Jay dont have millions of $$$ worth of revenue in stock !?
We ALL know Rishitta aint got no god damn 50MIL in the bank!
BEYONCE FIND LIGHT IN THE BEAUTIFUL SEA AND KISS RIHANNA PERFECT ASS
Rihanna need to bow DOWNEE & kiss Sia ass
for writing her that #1
and she slayed that h** on her rendition !
KI
Now pay up, GOAT !!!!
RIH CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY , BUT SHE WENT LEGENDARY
THE SHADIEST SHADE IN HISTORY
CIAARA GOOD LUCK IN BOOKIN THAT STAGE
Ciara couldn’t even spell that Uglee h** name right
u mad ?KI !
Sounds like an anger management issue, F***
XTINA WHERE YOU AT
BUYIN TIX FOR RIH CONCERT
Xtinas Spanish CD+debut album outsell Rihtards entire career
Congrats to all.
LOVE U RIH U SHINE BRIGHT
On the Beyonce HBO movie and the tricky business of celebrity brand control
By Jen Chaney
Celebrities tend to be self-involved. To some extent, they have to be. When you make a living that focuses largely on your own image and how you present that image to the public, there is a natural tendency to become a bit wrapped up in one’s own uber-glamourous, ultra-famous ego.
Still, some may feel Beyonce is taking ego to a new level with her upcoming TV movie.
Beyonce: directing her own brand. (LUCAS JACKSON – REUTERS)
Tuesday, HBO confirmed that it plans to air in February “Beyonce: A Documentary Special,” an “intimate, feature-length” portrait of Beyonce that was directed by Beyonce, executive-produced by Beyonce and shopped around by Beyonce a few months ago.
So basically, it’s: “‘Beyonce the Movie,’ starring Beyonce, written and directed by Beyonce, produced by Beyonce, featuring the music of Beyonce and broadcast on HBO, where the B now stands for Beyonce. Note: closed-captioning subtitles also provided by Beyonce.”
It seems a bit excessive — narcissistic-cessive, perhaps? — even to those who are serious fans of Sasha Fierce. And it raises a question: At what point does a celebrity’s effort to control her own brand start to work against her?
At this cultural moment, the famous and even the non-famous have the ability to build mini- franchises around their own identities. With a large enough Twitter or Tumblr following, a person — even one who isn’t married to Jay-Z — can become a “brand.”
The trick for a bigtime celebrity — one whose talent has already been widely celebrated and commodified — is to manage her image in a way that seems authentic in a climate where authenticity is more valued than ever. In other words, she — and her team, of course — must create a positive public perception of herself without seeming to make an effort. Actresses like Emma Stone and Sandra Bullock are very good at this. Kim Kardashian is less so, although that doesn’t seem to be adversely impacting her income. As for Beyonce, I’d argue that a different set of rules apply to her. Let’s call them Diva Rules.
The mother of Blue Ivy Carter puts herself out there in ways that make her seem real and candid — just take a look at her official Tumblr filled with non-glamour shots of her sans make-up (but of course, also looking fantastic). But more importantly, she’s carefully built herself into a symbol of take-charge female empowerment. Starring in a movie about herself that she’s entirely responsible for crafting is 100 percent consistent with that image. Yes, being a control freak may be eye-rolling to some, but at this point, it’s also synonymous with who Beyonce is, or at least who we think she is. Same goes for the queen of image control, Madonna, and Lady Gaga, who, by the way, starred in and directed her own self-indulgent Thanksgiving special last November.
“Beyonce: A Documentary” may wind up showing us some images of the mega-star that we haven’t seen. It almost certainly will generate some buzz and, perhaps, decent ratings for HBO. Heck, I plan to watch it, and I just poked fun at it five paragraphs ago. But it won’t be a honest portrait of Beyonce because it can’t be. No one can hold up a mirror to herself, orchestrate how the reflection appears and call it something true. But the Divine Miss Knowles is smart enough to know that in her case, that doesn’t matter.
Beyonce’s brand is diva and, as she told us in her song of the same name, “A diva is a female version of a hustla.” Beyonce’s fans don’t care if she’s really showing them an unfiltered, complete portrait of who she is. They just want to see their girl run the world, and run Beyonce, Inc. They want their diva to do what they’ve always embraced her for doing: keep hustling. By making “Beyonce: A Documentary Special,” she’s giving her people exactly what they want.
Niceeee. Well done Beyonce. Why are people arguing though it aint your wage packages jeesh. These people are all earning millions, life is sweet for all of them.
people saying rihanna is a s**** making 53 million ??? PLEASE, i wanna be a s**** too, like right f****** NOW.
IKR
53MIL times .03 (30percent) is what ?? Blue ivy’s investments . . .
Beyonce + Jay’s cut
+ rita album advance out that B**** !
subtracted from 53mil KI !
All that h** left w/ KI !:)
Beyonce wouldn’t get a “cut”, she isn’t managing Rihanna.
I seriously think Sam and co get their f****** life reading these comments thats why he shades the way he does. The Hive and Navy especially some of yall are actually really whitty people no matter whos side you are on u gotta admit some of these comments are funny af (not the real abusive ones). I even think Beyonce and Rihanna would be laughing.
Who cares about how much they made in one year can you imagine how much $$$$$ they have in their banks OVERALL. Especially Beyonce and Jay Z together O_O mayun that baby aint gotta a work a day in her damn life she ballin.
Britney with that 58million though …
Money doesn’t mean s***, but congrats to them. It’s cool to see an African American topping the list, even if it is just for some crappy headphones. You get dem dollas Dre. Anyhoooo ya’ll seem to have missed Ms. Spears charting at #7 with $58 milli. Dats some serious money y’all for someone who is ‘dead behind the eyes’. GET DEM PESOS BRIT.
Well, kudos to them anyway
U talk about stealyonce but whos the fckn highest paid woman onthe list? its britney b****, still slaying after 14 years on the game
F*** THAT MENTALLY RETARDED TRASH.
britney mentally retarded?? are you a doctor to say that s***?????’ if britney was retarded she wouldnt have been in this industry for more than a decade. first, look at your life honey, you just cant judge like that a person you really dont know,,,,
Spears doesn’t even try…. This proves again that Britney continues to run the show!! Queen B!!!!!
you go bey you did not tour or do much because you got pregnate but our bey did well may god continue to bless protect you jay blue ivy c and your family for life more success in all your business long live queen bey their is no one like you
when will these writers learn that RITA ORA AINT GOING ANYWHERE LMAO SHE IS WATERED DOWN RIHANNA…. FAIL
She styles R****. . . .Where would Rishitta still her daily outfits/ swag from if there was no MUSE aka Rita ?
Yes at Queen Britney slaying Flopga and everyone else
To be honest with you, this is how much these artists are “worth”, not how much they take home. Once you have to pay studio time, musicians, photo shoots, lawyers, accountants, producers, writers, directors for videos, lawsuits, etc., alot of these celebrities are not left with as much as you think they have. Why do you think that they start to branch out in other fields such as, clothing lines, perfumes, etc? That’s where most of their earnings come from. Believe me, they have alot of “palms to grease” before they see ANY of that money. And, when they do, it’s really not that much. Other than the fact that they love what they do, that’s why their constantly working with very few breaks in between projects. The more money they make, the more money they have to pay back. I know it sounds crazy, but that’s how the business works.
LISTEN TO SOME FACTS… this list was compiled while rih rih was promoting loud, on a world tour, released fragrance, starred in battleship, was still the face of nivea (lmao) and released TTT and had all the we found love success…AND SHE ONLY MADE 53 MILLION DOLLARS! Beyonce released her album 4 to worldwide platinum sales in June, promoted until early September 2011 and then did not release anything or perform for 8 months, until Revel, then she again released nothing more until now…and she still made 40 MILLION! around 2009-2010 when beyonce was promoting sasha fierce and won all those grammys and fragrances and i am tour she made 87 MILLION $$$$$$ and now rihanna is in her prime and she made less than 55 MIL? PLZ DONT COMPARE AN ICON TO A POP TART! #hbodoc #queenbey #superbowl2013 #newalbum #runtheworld
Battleship came out in May 2012 (in the middle of May) and Forbes stop calculating their earnings after May arrives so Rihanna’s cut of the movie deal will come next year in 2013, along with the interview with Oprah, her five million pounds she will receive from the UK (I think London’s mayor will give it to her) her new fragance sales, her “777” tour gross, dance , games incentives, performances at the Special olympics, Hackney, iHeartRadio and Victoria’s Secret shows. Plus a new album and tours to be added onto it.
Her baby pregnancy was promo, her singing at the UN was promo, her singing at the VMAS and showing the baby bump was promo. Her fans throwing Beyonce “4” albums at Keri Hilson was promo. Her fragances, magazine covers and that Australia show interview she did with her baby bump “folding” was all promotion. So are all of you going to act like she honestly didn’t do anything to get 40 million dollars? If that’s the case then why isn’t Ciara up there? Why is that Angelina Ballerina lookin white girl who only sold 3,000 copies of CD not there? Once again the delusional beehive come out with unrealistic b******* to make their favourite sound like the business. Beyonce didn’t make that money from record sales only dumbasses, she must have other ventures to get that type of cash so that means she must have been working like a damn dog trying to keep her bump from shifting and keeping that wig on extra tight just in case it gets snatched by her little sister.
Still aint half of what Rihanna was doing face it.
And how you know her getting pregnant was intentional promo are you in the bedroom with them or something smh.
Did she not use her pregnancy as a way to steal the spotlight at the VMAS and many months after? Promo. Did she not let that video of her bump folding go viral? PROMO. Wasn’t she on Oprah and sang her Run the world song there? PROMO. All those Fundraisers and photo ops with the president? PROMO.
@Hayley I didn’t say it was intentional or not but all of it was promotion for her latest CD which was “4” not to mention that she has other projects like clothing line, loreal commercials,her fragances, etc that would add onto her gross numbers.
The UN thing was after May? I thought it was filmed before then put out as a single afterwards. Hmph.
I’m still waiting on facts that I was incorrect, I mean she did do a lot of promotion just like the others.
@EZRA You did your first point was exactly that. THEN you went on to talk about the VMA thing stop confusing yourself. She aint saying she didn’t promote but The FACT still stands that it still wern’t nothing compared to Rihanna hun so stop tryna come for Bey to prove a point. And no the UN thing was all done after May.

A well known youtuber was invited to the UN when it was being filmed it was around late June/early July.
I was about to use that Jay-Z pic too! But, I see you beat me to it. It’s hilarious! Lol.
