A sure firestarter between fan groups of today’s top artists, Forbes released its annual ‘Highest Paid Celebrities’ list recently.
Calculated from data of revenue generated between June 2015 to June 2016, the list is comprised of 100 celebrities across all entertainment mediums (movies, television, sports entertainment, music, etc) who are raking in the dough in front of and behind the scenes.
And, while ‘Tears On My Guitar’ singer Taylor Swift may be crying tears of joy from seeing her name at #1 on the list for her whopping $170 million earned over the last year, the real tears may be shed over the absence of women on the list. In fact, the list of 100 celebs only has 15 women – a point even Forbes itself noted:
“[The ‘highest paid celebrities’ list] is comprised 85% of men—who earned a combined $4.2 billion, compared to the women’s $892.5 million. The imbalance reflects the gender pay gap endemic across industries–and national borders.”
See where your favorite diva o’ the day landed on the list:
2016 Forbes List highlights:
06. Kevin Hart | $87.5 million
09. Adele | $80.5 million
12. Madonna | $76.5 million
13. Rihanna | $75 million
22. Diddy | $62 million
30. The Weeknd | $55 million
34. Beyoncé | $54 million
36. Jay Z | $53.5 million
42. Kim Kardashian | $51 million
63. Dr. Dre | $41 million
66. Katy Perry | $41 million
68. Jennifer Lopez | $39.5 million
69. Drake | $38.5 million
99. Britney Spears | $30.5 million
Interesting note: Adele is the only musician on the list who made more than half her money from music sales alone.

#TheseTearsAreReal
#WhosCherylCole ?
LMAO the hive just cannot!!!!
You sound dumb af Bey wasnt even doing anything major yet .. haha just wait and see who gets the last laugh later lmao
Ivy park ain’t scan they yet ????.
You better get ready for the meltdowns next week honey, there will be seething from the hive for all to see should Anti bypass a certain album considering how close they are this week
‘
#4 Beyoncé LEMONADE 38,872
#5 Twenty One Pilots Blurryface 38,000
#6 Rihanna Anti 35,932
Yes rih is killing em the hive are seething as we speak. Ki
Lmaooooooo those numbers gonna get them checking into a psych ward real soon.
The hive failed this year haha they better take this L.
@jdek
big time They’ll just ignore it and cling on to tours looool
Failed what? Bey just began .. lol once again u navy stans are dumb af
The thing is y’all don’t even let people congratulate rih. It’s hilarious instead of uplifting rih the first comment is “the hive is seething” lmaoooo like I said y’all are obsessed
Bey just began? No I think she thought lemonade will be pop more than it has. It’s actually very average At best for her. It’s sad. Drake and Rihanna have been able to atleast have severs song sustain in the top 5 of the charts on both iTunes and billboard. With their albums still In the top 200. What’s beyonces excuse? Her singles fell flat. I don’t see what putting them in YouTube is going to do for them. She drops everything at once and then the thrill burns out. Lemonade is such a boring ass album. Congrats to her being able to tour off of that nonsense. Talk to me when she doesn’t need to use black lives matter to support or trend with her tour.
@Rihboy .. her singles fell flat but at the end of the day her album is still selling more than Rihannas 🙂 .. without Samsung .. now lets keep.it 100 .. i dont even think Rih scanned Gold yet .. thank streaming .. when will u guys realize Anti was.a.damn try hard album that flopped .. but Rih is maskin it with samsung purchases! once again u navy stans are DUMB AF!!
Lmao why would the hive be mad when bey earned that in a month. She did absolutely nothing last year ? The navy is so obsessed lmao
Girl bye!!!! Now you counting Jay money they also said Taylor scalp both thing one and thing two
Her tour was t sponsored tho! So what she earned will be severely divided.
Neither did Rihanna
Stop comparing these girls they both are great oan: over 100MS WENT IN THAT HOUSEHOLD AND A 100 MORE WILL FOLLOW SUITE BY THE END OF THE FORMATION TOUR
Where is hailbeysus talking about touring when Taylor s*** and p*** all over Beyonce touring numbers oh dear rih snatch her tired wig too hives where the f*** yall at now not adele too making more than the queen call 1800 the hives are jumping!!!!
Ummm, Beyonce has been scalping Coconut head forever so your shade is useless. At the end of the day, Beyonce’s total net worth still shyts on Rhihyenna’s net worth. #fact?

You know Molly, I don’t have a personal problem with you as I appreciate some of your comments; however, I’m not just going to sit up here and let you know claim Navy. You can’t just cling to different fanbase as the seasons change. The Navy’s love of the art and work of Rih is far greater than some pop song of the moment and for some numbers. We held Rih down after the CB incident. We supported her when she went back to him amongst media scrutiny. We supported her when the whole world, including YOU, said that she was a flop and done. To claim Navy is to be loyal through her journey from her darkest to honor her shine. To claim Navy, you gotta be real and authentic not some trend.

Congrats Bey!!! Expect her to top this list next year because Lemonade and Formation World Tour are huge blockbuster money pots‼️
YUP!
Better luck next year ???
Congratulations to all who made the list. Job well done!
hmmm? Where’s your fave at doe?? Below rihmoney and that’s where she’ll stay 🙂 🙂 🙂 50m<<<<<<<75m 😉
upload your bank account
Why don’t I upload ya mommas fat asss SEETHE SISSS
Was that suppose to be a drag ???
LOOOOL go seeth in someone else’s reply section
Is the queen on a new 360 or something? Why is she losing money? Did she lose that video game lawsuits or are all the lawsuits finally catching up?
‘
First her networth was estimated down by close to $200 million, to now making less money than her “lessors”….hmmm…might explain why she was asking her fans to contribute to the Flint water crisis without even offering to match the donations, looking for answers.
Seriously the decline is too real.
Don’t be a dumbass Beyoncé networth is still at 450 million. You do know artist pay taxes and other expenses how could her networth be $200 mill and her and Jay are worth a billion together. The navy is dumb as rocks I swear to God lmao
Bish wer?
‘
$265 Million
Receipt: http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2016/06/01/beyonces-net-worth-265-million-in-2016/#2cab5303689d
I see the navy don’t know how to read anything past the headline lmaooo typical teenager s***. “The sultry songstress has already pulled in more than $500 million in gross earnings as a solo artist—and now she and husband Jay Z (net worth: $610 million) are chugging toward the billion-dollar mark.”
So Jay is worth 3x what she is worth, still doesn’t make her networth $400 million but $265 million. You cannot comprehend what you read it seems.
‘
And do you know what Gross earnings are?
Y’all are dumb
No you are, you said Yonce is worth $450 million and cannot back it up with facts.
I think beyone is worth less than what is reported she is all smoke lies and mirrors her PR team puts lies out to make her look bigger than what she is the fact that Taylor doubling her and Jay is really something else and rih making more than her shows the business woman that rih his bey cannot think for herself in business
Just an all around icon She’s done so many remarkable things in the last 2 years. If it isn’t music its fashion if its not fashion its tv. I mean this woman truly works hard. #soproud! #blackgirlmagic #bitchbettahavemy!
Damn Kevin Hart is stacking up.
While weezy is doing the complete opposite ? #haha
SCREAMS, He has to wait for his allowance from Birdman, if at all it comes in the mail.
????
Death!
Rihanna is a true icon! Others are just smoke n mirrors.
#NumbersDontLie
Ummmm considering Lemonade, Ivy Park, and The Formation World Tour didn’t launch until April 2016. She pretty much all of that money sleeping.That’s the real ki
Why isn’t Wayne on the list? I can see Dre, Jigga and Diddy
Death ok I thought Wayne was a force ki clearly not and its fan has the nerve to come for rihanna ?
Congrats Rihanna. You are truly showing everyone and SLAYING!
Congrats to all the other ladies as well. ??
People are really STUPID if you think they included ALL of Bey’s earnings! Beyoncé WILL be topping this list next year since all of her tour dates and album sales and clothing line will be added. She basically made 54 million with NO new album, tour, or endorsement launch. So whose the REAL queen?? Lol!!!
To be honest, I’m ok with Yonce making money as long as less of that money is spent on fake horse hair and more of it goes into the black community and spending on black businesses.
‘
The economics don’t make sense if you’d rather spend your money wearing Armani when you could be wearing lines by black designers like Rihanna has done supporting Olivier Rousteing, starting her own Fenty line and overall giving scholarships to bright students in third world countries.
‘
More can go a long way if our money went back into the community, instead of being pretentious the moment you receive your first million dollar check, or $100,000 allowance in Lil’ Wayne’s case.
‘
Something to think about.
Wtf are you even talking about when Beyoncé is not on stage she hardly wears that s*** and just like Rihanna I’m sure she’s not buying it. These celebs don’t buy anything they get clothes sent to them especially stars like Beyoncé and Rihanna. If you want to know what Beyoncé does for the community look up her BeyGood foundation. Beyoncé and kelly have housing in Houston which was opened in 2006 and still open til this day which is a community center and youth center for Katrina vicitims and serves for the community. Her and her mother also opened a cosmetology center in Phoenix for abused women which is still open, JAYZ foundation scholarship still open and still sends black kids and kids from all over the US to college, etc etc etc. it’s ok to shade Bey but at least come on here and talk some f****** sense. You talking about Beyoncé and her horse hair like Rihanna don’t have a damn weave on every time she step out the f****** house. The navy really talks delusion
Did you even read what I wrote, I said economics wise it is good for these artists to make all this money so they can spend more of it in the black community.
‘
Once it starts entering the black community, it’ll start building wealth in there.
‘
I used Rihanna as an example seeing that she is investing in education, which will lift people’s income, in addition to that, by supporting Rosenburg, she is lifting his brand which then creates more wealth for him.
‘
I’m talking about basic economics here, not your childish shade fest. Take that simple n**** sh!t to someone that gives a crap.
Centurion did you change your @ name and icon ? Is that you boo
Topic too advanced for you? I understand boo boo
guurl If this wasn’t the truth…Not only does this apply to beyonce.
Beyonce is all about showing how her and Jay balling look at Kim k making close to bey money the hives should be worried about little Kim k sneaking up on their queen bey look confuse I doubt she knows where her money going these days the fact how she looked stoic at Serena match
Rihanna has obviously been working on her building her brand which is smart but Navy I’m going to need you to stop and think this one over because this isn’t a game y’all want to play. The tracking period for this is pre Formation World tour and lemonade, meaning she made 54 million during her down time and is No.1 for celebrity couples with over 100 million brought in as a whole. Beyonce made 97 million from 18 dates and is pulling in 5-6 million PER date, she has easily crossed 120+ million from her US leg ALONE which you will find out once all of her box scores are released, lemonade is almost at 2 million sold WW at 17.99 a pop not to mention her Ivy park deal which according to nordstrom is their biggest and best selling brand to date and all of her other ventures combined y’all know DAMN well she is going to mop the floor with Rihanna a$$ once all of that is taken into consideration but I’m just going to sit here and bookmark this link so I can come back next tracking period and drag some of you for complete filth with your own delusions so carry on
Kiii I’ve missed your comments!!! Yas you betta read gurrrl!!!!
Look at your ass is Taylor numbers have the rest of your hair falling out yet you maggot look at your favorite sliding down the stripper poles on Forbes you constantly come for rih your queen is losing b**** and all you can count is tour numbers all the top women beat Beyonce how does it feel Katy rih Taylor adele Kim k lawd Mrs west in the building
Rih’s higher on the list than both of her bosses.
*sips* this tea…*sips again* Hits the spot
Well duh Rihanna has done more in the last year than her bosses. Are y’all slow or ?
Why are you so pressed? Does it hurt that bad?
How am I PRESSED when y’all commenting on Beyoncé ???? I’m not saying nothing bad about Rihanna at all. Y’all are obsessed with Beyoncé just admit it
I see my usual fans rushed to my reply box. Too bad they couldn’t do the same when their faves dropped an album.
Your fav couldn’t release an album even if he wanted too ??
Didn’t the trick u Stan for get dropped?? I’m done with you???✌?️✌? Tell your b*** buddy LB to holla at me????
Well my fav album is released through her label parkwood and distributed through Columbia. Instead of y’all living through Rihanna you should take some business classes that way you can actually do the work instead of being a bank teller on a blog.
And the others album did terribly while he’s too scared to perform without 4 other d!cks on stage with him loooool
I see Selena in my avi she’s 5x more relevant than your dying fav.
Name one Selena album that went platinum ???????????
Jackie got stalled at 100k. CICI isn’t on the list but you worried about Wayne? What has Wayne done music wise?? No album, no tour.
Yea come for Cici since you can’t come for Riri weak hoee..
F***** check my archives on this site I’ve always came for Rihanna. Your bi polar ass admitted that above ?? remember??? Get your b**** ass out of my reply box and go overdose ( pun intended)
Fagggggottt stfu your fav is one more seizure away from being on his death bead.
Then he will just join CICI career in the graveyard.
DEATH BED*
What comes after their Death Bed u dumb f**??? You should know CICI career has been resting there since 2007.
But where is Wayne’s release date? M.I.A just like his pension since he is practically retired?
Wow @ Adele, Kevin Hart & Rihanna. They did amazing. Taylor is a beast!
$55 million is Beyonce’s yearly average income. If Beyoncé makes $55 million in a year doing nothing, what does it say that Rihanna inked “lucrative” deals with Dior, Puma, Samsung, Stance, NVMN, Monologue Blahnik, and let’s not forget she did a movie, and has a $20 million dollar gap? The amount of earnings between Beyoncé spending all year on vacation and Rihanna doing everything under the sun is a grand total of approx. $20 Mil??? Lmao. Think about it. Goodbye.
“In 2015, the star brought in just under $55 million…and that was essentially her downtime”
http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2016/04/24/beyonces-lemonade-is-the-kind-of-artistic-statement-only-she-can-get-away-with/#664298de7e66
One smart person on this site. 20 milli gap, after all those deals and a tour. They can’t comprehend those simple things.
Chile!!!
Chile, not Frih slaving away all year long only for Bey on her Down time to be trailing her by $20 million kiiiii!!!
It’s been a whole damn day and I just noticed my Manolo changed to monologue…
So, so happy for Rihanna tbh. She’s really turned into a boss lady, full force. Congrats Miss Fenty. Bey made most of that money within a two months period. She’ll be topping this list next year around this time with well over 125+ million $’s grossed from her brand/empire.
–
And, @LovelyBird you see this —> “Adele is the only musician on the list who made more than half her money from music sales alone.”
.
Selling physical copies will always trump streaming. It is what it is… Like I said, real musicians won’t get a fraction of the money they’ll make if every one bought their albums for full price. Streaming is convenient for the consumers but a rip off for the artists imo. If I was an artist, I would want you to BUY my album, at FULL price, period. I don’t want you picking & sorting through my art like you at a buffet. Honey, if I make you dinner, you gon’ eat everything on that damn plate, period. And, you gon’ wash the dishes, dry them & put it away too lol
–
No matter how you put it, selling millions of albums in PURE sales, at full price will ALWAYS be better than free streams, for the MUSICIANS. But, I get what you’re saying too. But, I think in a greedy business mind way. I want all the money, period. Shoot….
Streaming just took off over the last year or two, it’s benefits to the artists in terms of revenue can’t be reflected just yet.
‘
The industry is still benefiting though, illegal downloads are down, industry revenues are up.
Fair enough… You’re looking at the bigger picture ala the LOOOOOOOONG RUN. I get what you’re saying. And, you have a point. It is the future, whether we like it or not.
I can’t at Hilary Duff being able to get a release date and Wayne can’t.
http://memesvault.com/wp-content/uploads/Laughing-Then-Crying-Gif-Tumblr-04.gif
I can’t at Beyoncé being alble to sell out Stadiums but Rihanna can’t with Arenas. London paid her dust, just like Soundscan and Billboad did with those fraudulent sales.
But when will Wayne see a stadium though? He cannot even see a release date
You’re saying the same thing over again. Your drags are more boring then the lip singing and p**** patting your w**** of a fave calls a performance.
At least my fav can perform, your fav is shelved at the request of Birdman. That s**** is going nowhere.
I just choked on my juice. Lol
Too bad it didn’t end you for good.
Demi Lovato’s flop as$ was able to release a new single and Wayne still cannot get a release date….#WhereYaAlbumAt
you keep labelling other artists ‘flops’ , like Rihanna isnt a flop too
.
Not her Anti Era beginning February 2015 and it hasnt sold 500k July 2016
.
now catch these Ls ——> L L L L
I think at this point, Mila J will release an album before Wayne #WhereYaAlbumAt
loool stop he’s getting mad!
Stop creating troll accounts sis. I’ve never seen this unknown on here before.
Haha he’s so MAAAAD
lol #wack do better
Maid unlike you I have a REAL life outside of this site. And in my REAL life I’m doing just fine. Keep clinging to the Gavy cause a weak b**** like u could never stand alone✌?️
B***** I always stand alone fuuuucccck outta here!!! Your the one who clings to the hive for dear life. Do they even claim you ugly?
Molly/Jackie I’m done with you f**. And I Stan Beyoncé so no I do ZERO clinging. And weren’t you for them a year ago when Marquisha and Loose Booty would occasionally scalp you? N**** bye✌?️?Don’t even bother to respond.
Oh Stan Beyonce now? Cute shield hun ?
Drake is out here releasing mixtapes that sell thousands on iTunes and Wayne can’t even release a snippet
‘
#WhereYaAlbumAt
Besides that who would be checking??Its safe to say WE ALL left wayne back in 2007.Well most of us…
I love how Drake has become more relevant than Wayne much like Rih has become more relevant then Bey and Jay.
Exactly, who stans for Wayne in 2016? lmao tragic
Because Rihanna owns her music masters. Told y’all, Rihanna is winning and there’s a reason Beyonce is slaving away touring. Why is it out of order? And what is the time frame of this? It better not be 2015 because the only thing Rihanna dripped was 3 singles, a movie and a soundtrack. Oh and Puna that the pest said was a flop and who wares Puma? Lol
She owns her masters yet her music doesn’t bring half of her money?
.
her discography should be very very cheap or struggling or not selling at all
.
FLop!
75 million in one year says Hi
What kind of pathetic lowlife Stans for Lil Wayne your life must be so shitttty and miserable. Like your favs been replaced by fetty and future lol shows how trasssh he truly is
Wait… I know your mildew smelling-ass didn’t just say rihanna is more relevant than beyoncè. You keep thinking that when boxscores #’s, year end lists, and forbes list next year come out.
Oh you’re using Beyonce as a shield now I’m screaming byeeee f******
SCREAMING, the Wayne fan stans Beyonce now? Rosie, is that your new account?
All of a sudden its a Beyonce stan now lmfao but they don’t claim it. Career ender teas.
I claim the Lil Wayne stan and he’s been down for Beyonce since he started out.
.
unlike a certain psycho who’s about to leave camp fenty in the following month and cling to another stan base to stay relevant
.

You know Molly, I don’t have a personal problem with you as I appreciate some of your comments; however, I’m not just going to sit up here and let you know claim Navy. You can’t just cling to different fanbase as the seasons change. The Navy’s love of the art and work of Rih is far greater than some pop song of the moment and for some numbers. We held Rih down after the CB incident. We supported her when she went back to him amongst media scrutiny. We supported her when the whole world, including YOU, said that she was a flop and done. To claim Navy is to be loyal through her journey from her darkest to honor her shine. To claim Navy, you gotta be real and authentic not some trend.
P.S. I have posted this in a response to you, but I want to make sure that you are now well aware and informed.
?????
?️?
I hear you and atleast you came at me with respect. I know I said crazy ish but anti gave me a new appreciation for her. I truly feel she’s an icon
hahahahaha you stay kissing the Navy’s ass but they still don’t respect you. You’re so f****** fake lol smdh. Nice try kiss ass.
That’s cool; you can call yourself a fan and simply that, because, you don’t get the right to rep Navy #TheresLevelToThisShitYoungBoy
^^^LOL @ ISpeaks response^^^
Oh Molly, I don’t even f*** with the Navy (at all) but I have more respect for them than a spineless brown-noser like you! When will you ever learn? Nobody uses you boo. Your kind isn’t wanted here…
????
speak on it Fallacy, nobody uses that spineless faeces eating psycho
Poor pest, they were bragging on money for years now have to take the L. Cling to that tour, but the fact still stands, Rihanna is making music history and more money at age 28 than Beyonce was at that age. And Rihanna did is all as a solo artist, didn’t have to step on 5 other BLACK girls to get here. Funny, this Kool-aid Era is supposed to be so pro black women, yet she mistreated her young black friends, kicked them out and lied about them leaving. There’s a word for that. Karma, your father stole from ya and your husband cheated on ya. Lol
Lol you sound so damn ignorant.
BTW You bringing up Lemonade for what though!? It wasn’t even counted. This list is PRE-Lemonade and PRE-Formation tour. So what “karma” are you talking about? lol.
I find it funny people like to try and throw dirt on Beyonce by claiming she used DC to rise to fame but when you add those receipts in for her career total since after all it was all about “her” any way it becomes a big issue and they all of a sudden become two different artist LOL
I agree‼️
Meanwhile, you can multiply Rihanna’s net worth 3 times and Beyonce would still be worth more * sips lemonade *
Rih is on par with Beyonces networth at 28 lol
LOL Rihanna TOPPED beyonce on forbs NOW DEAL. Looks like benefiting off of black pain couldn’t help her especially now that rihanas coming to bypass her numbers
lemotrash 38k ANTI 35k loool. Soon all they got is tours…
Nobody cares lol. Rihanna isn’t even number 1. Per usual, the Navy is celebrating a false victory. The same way they celebrate false certifications. This time next year, Beyonce will be #1 on Forbes. Because her ENTIRE era will be taken into account (i.e. her ALBUM, TOUR, and endorsements) not just 2 months worth. So I’m going to go right on ahead and bookmark this post.

| ThatGrapeJuiceOfficial on Facebook
Rihanna topped beyonce because the tracking period does not include the Formation tour and lemonade. The chick made 54 million while doing NOTHING meanwhile Rihanna had multiple singles and endorsement deals and still couldn’t touch the tip of what Beyonce makes when she actually TOPS these list lol as far as anti goes,Any hive that gets mad over the chart position of these albums needs to get it together. Lemonade has sold more albums both pure and SPS,has charted on the REAL charts in more countries than Anti, has sold more singles than Anti (hard to believe that when one has a 9 week No.1) lol and is supporting the more successful tour which would be the formation tour not to mention that 35K for anti is STREAMS where as the majority of that 38K for Bey is PURE sales since it’s only available for streaming on tidal but you tried lol
Lemonade will remain the best SELLING album of the year..
But who really cares though? lol. Rihanna isn’t even number 1. Per usual, the Navy is celebrating a false victory. The same way they celebrate false certifications. This time next year, we all know that Beyonce will be #1 on that list. Because her ENTIRE era will be included (i.e. her ALBUM, TOUR, and endorsements). So I’m going to go right on ahead and bookmark this post.
So Adele and Rihanna is 5.5 million apart, yet someone’s old all those albums and is on tour, sold out, yet very little difference. Proving that all those albums sold mean little to nothing if you don’t own any of it. These poor Sony slaves. Lol
.
Beyonce and Adele better pull a Mariah Carey and sleep with the CEO.
Beyonce’s album and tour weren’t even included, ya big dummy lol. Besides, Rihanna isn’t even #1. Once again you’re celebrating a false victory, the same way you celebrated those false certifications. This time around next year Beyonce is going to top that last. Because Lemonade AND the Formation Tour will actually be accounted for. Let me go ahead and bookmark this post.
We’re talking NOW. I don’t have time for maybe, if, later, soon or in the future excuses. Pick a letter and deal. ➡️LLLLLLLLLL
I don’t want to hear it! We’ll have this conversation again once Lemonades ENTIRE tracking season is over. What you say on TGJ can and will be used against you. So don’t even bother trying to punk out.
Lol you drag yourself with this comment. Adele is making all this money from her tour, singles and album sales. Meanwhile fRih has 7876534567 lucrative deals in place a $25m dollar check the Slavi claims went entirely into her bank account, an album out hit singles and A TOUR THAT STARTED MONTHS BEYOND THE TRACKING YEAR DEADLINE LMAO!!!
.
BTW Adele Doesn’t Do Product Endorsements like our favs, she stated this herself, but imagine if she did, you wouldn’t be talking the same. Poor fRih another year gone by that she can’t top Forbes LOLOL
Lmao, not Rihanna making money more than her bosses. Flopyonce cannot match Rihanna in anyway. Rihanna will forever be Flopyonce biggest nightmare. The slaying have just begin. Let Flopyonce your her ass off king Rihanna will still top her on Forbes next year.
Rihanna is her own boss. You think Jay has pull over her on Roc Nation? If Rita can leave that label with all those flops under her belt, I know Rihanna has the upper hand over there. Jay is getting the Roc Nation portion and that’s his money, not Beyonce.
Anti tour is not included and I see Rih high on the list next year to as she continues to rack up cash with her puma creations and clothing line!
Rihanna’s shoes are going to bring her cash if she continues to market and build her brand she could become the next Jessica Simpson
Ummm… Forbes CLEARLY stated most of Bey’s revenue came from the last 2 month’s of the tracking year. Lemonade and 19 Formation Tour dates were added. So what makes you think Rih’s US Leg and first 6mnths of Anti’s sales weren’t?
The first 18 shows were calculated there is another 20 plus in North America and stadium shows in Europe. New beauty line and the continued success of her Puma brands selling out worldwide. Creepers are everywhere
I’ve never said anything about what Bey had made I think she’s a great entrepreneur and will always be one. But don’t try and take away from Rihs accomplishments! She made more this year then some artists have in their whole career let’s give her props from working her way up to being a black women earning this who else besides her and Bey for black females is earning this type of cash and to be under 30!
Kiii not the slavi being clocked and dragged for the 34577643212 this month by the Hive and unbiased commenters LMFAOOOOOOOOO
Madonna is always making money, that’s impressive.
i’d say see you next year. there is the potential dragfest to happen. you know that. 😀
People keep talking about streaming. An actual album will always be more prestigious than a stream. Streaming is apart of the bigger picture. It’s not the entire industry. They gotta add free streams, album streams & track equivalent streams in order to make streaming look great! Lol.. It just isn’t the same.
Taylor swift at the top, which further shows her Inconic status of this generation.
Who gives a f***, they aren’t giving me any of it! 🙂
SCREAMING @ this Beyonce dragfest. The no-life-having-āss-høe-hive have been bragging about Beyonce’s earnings for years now. Rihanna is making more than her. ???
Beyonce is NOT worth $450 million. ?

Beyonce’s Net Worth: $265 Million In 2016 – Forbes
How much is Frih worth ? *crickets*….
LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
People’s net worth rarely drops than dramatically especially when you are still relevant. I think Beyonce $450m was inflated in the first place.
LMFAOOOOOOOO the decline ??????????
Rihanna hasn’t even started her stadium shows yet. Which aren’t included.
Lmfaoooo!!!!!
Wasn’t anti a flop ?!!
Lmfaoooo!!!!! Imagine when she comes back and smashed next time. Lmfaoooooo!!!!!
When you own your masters and not let Sony own them, that’s what happens when you start being a boss at 27. Lmfao!!!!!!!!
Y’all act like Rihanna owns all of her masters or some s*** lol. She only owns those flops off of Aunti, none of which she wrote by the way lol. So she still has to PAY off royalties on all of them. Gosh! The Navy is so f****** stupid.
But Beyonce has to pay off Royalties too dumb ass. You are so mad. LOOOOOOOOL. With a masters, Rihanna is probably making double of what Beyonce makes with less sales and you will deal. Its a rare achievement to own one. That’s how dumb and clueless the hive are. Literally the dumbest fanbase. LOOOOOL
Y’all dragged the d****** out of Ratyonce.
Ratyonce – $54m
Rihanna – $75m
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
FROM $450M to $265M? LOLOLOLLLLLL. THE DECLINE!!!!!!!! What happened? Poor Ratyonce ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Didn’t she start her tour earlier than Bey? Her album earlier than Bey? Singles, soundtracks etc . Oh 25 million is from Samsung. Be prepared for next year’s dragging!
I remember the hive was trying to drag Rih saying that she would not see all of that 25 million
All these lists are obviously garbage and they don´t really know who wins more. Mariah Carey not being among the first 100? Just an example. Madonna usually earns more than what these lists usually show. Anyway, why does anyone care about what these people earn? Especially people like Kim Kardasian? (pathetic that such type of celebrity can earn a lot of money, audiences are retarded, how can anyone be interested in that?).
LOOOOOOOL
Stop it honey. Why are you trying to give reasons why Rihanna made more money than Beyonce? WHO DOES THAT? Taylor, Adele, Madonna and so many more made more money than Beyonce. Are you going to measure their earnings too? Please stop crying. LOOOOOOL
Oh, the Navy loves to call Hives illiterate, dumb, stupid etc. But this post proves otherwise. Laughing at Bey earning that much w/o doing anything? Don’t forget that Bey has only 50 dates and 6 albums, and little feature, who is the s**** actually?
The s**** is the one with NO MASTERS and has to go on tour EVERY YEAR because the label tells her to. ???????????
Beyonce has to pay royalties too and she has 4556266373 songwriters and producers on her album. THE SELF-DRAG! The hive are truly the dumbest fanbase. ????????
How much is Beyonce Worth?
Beyonce net worth: Beyonce Knowels is a popular American singer, actress and fashion designer who has a net worth of $450 million. Beyonce earned her net worth primarily through her career as a incredibly successful recording artist. Before going solo, Beyonce was the lead singer of the girl group Destiny’s Child. Destiny’s Child recorded many hits and won dozens of awards throughout their tenure. The group won the Best R&B/Soul Single award for their hit song “No, No, No”. One of the most popular Destiny’s Child songs was “Say my Name” which won the award for “Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals,” and “Best R&B Song.” Other hits by Destiny’s Child include, “The Writing’s on the Wall”, “Jumpin, Jumpin,” and “Bills, Bills, Bills”.

Beyonce is also a popular actress and has appeared in films such as Austin Powers in Goldmember, The Fighting Temptations, Dreamgirls and The Pink Panther. She also has become very successful as a solo songwriter, with hits like, “Independent Woman”, “Cater 2 U”, “Grillz” and
GIRL BYE. Stop crying ???????? Heyonce is worth $250m. ????? http://www.forbes.com/sites/zackomalleygreenburg/2016/06/01/beyonces-net-worth-265-million-in-2016/#42b5e3ea689d
Lmao I love coming to this site every now and then to get a good laugh at the dumbest stanbase the navy who are still obsessed with queen bey. Do u idiots not know how taxes work? Bey is worth 450 mill BEFORE taxes. All your faves “networth” are almost cut in half after taxes. Even after taxes beyonce is still worth 3 times what rihanna is worth so the navy looks really dumb for trying to drag bey when she is still killing their fave at the end of the day. Bey made 54 mill in 2 months while Rihanna made 75 mill in 1 yr. Do the basic math on that lol. Bey can be sleep a whole year and still make more money than Rihanna lmao.
The GAŸvy is soooo delusional kee.
LMAOOOO those hive tears and excuses!!
The key-word is gross pay. Remember, Rocnation, Livenation, the tax man and everybody else still get a huge cut of that money rihanna makes. Also, the sources for those numbers includes the artist and their management team, so I’m sure that number is inflated. How do you have a low selling world tour and low selling album but make 70 million? Adele is on a massive world tour and had a massive selling album but only made five million more than Rihanna? Okay, we see you Rocnation. Also, remember Beyonce income came from two months. Did they even count Ivy Park and her watermelon water company that’s in Costco and Wholefoods across the country? Another thing is she owns her own management company so that money goes back into her company where as Rihanna’s money goes to Rocnation. In the end Rihanna is the only one getting scalped and that’s by Rocnation.
Forbes is the most reliable source so we’re going to discredit them now that it’s in favor of Rih GTFO! Lol
You must have forgotten her endorsements and FENTY clothing line. Puma is definitely paying Rih and while y’all laughed at her deal last year she taking in some serious cash now that her shoe lines and Dior lines are selling out!
Beyonce has her own label where she’s signing artist, her own management team, she has a successful 50/50 deal with topshop which has a networth which almost triples Puma’s. She has an equal partnership in Watermelon water which is in big chains like Costco and Whole foods across the United States. It’s not Rihanna’s company making her business deal, it’s Rocnation management so they will be getting a big cut of her earnings. Again, the key word is gross, so I’m sure Beyonce is not pressed because Rihanna 12 months of earnings outgrossed her two months of earnings. Especially when her husband is getting a huge percentage of rihanna’s earnings.
Girl bye Rih owns her own masters and label Jayz is not seeing a dime of her money she’s worked her way up now sees seeing the benefits as this is her highest grossing year and does not even calculate money earnings she’s getting from streaming her new beauty line coming out and the rest of her ANTI tour she made 75 million at the age of 27-28 she will be fine. She will be earning a lot more from here on out
While ya’ll were making fun of Rihanna and saying she should of not released her album through Tidal i told ya’ll to stop worrying about sales. Worry about the check that Samsung cut her for her tour and to give out her album for free. At the end of the day it’s about the money she is putting in her pocket, not the album sales.
54 mil in two months
75 mil in 12 months… ?
#whataqueen
Congratulations to them
Hold upppp. Where Mariah at? She did a world tour, best selling childrens book, sold out vegas residency, Game of War endorsement, sold out Christmas movie and special, Christmas concerts and her publishing and streaming royalties etc….
