Riches mo-fos
So while David Beckham is currently moving across the Atlantic to his new soccer team ($250million deal) Forbes magazine conducted a survey on who the richest ladies in entertainment are. It's scary to think how loaded these ladies are:
1. Oprah Winfrey - $1.5 billion. I know a lot of people despise her... I don't.
Especially since she opened the Leadership academy in SA. There's someone who is using her money wisely. I recently read an article about that an how Oprah has come under fire about opening a school abroad when there are kids here in the USA who are equally in need of her attention. Well as Oprah stated "The kids here ask for ipods and sneakers, whereas in SA they ask for uniforms so they can go to school! I appreciate her a lot!
2. J.K. Rowling - $1 billion. Considering she was writing on napkins and living in her trailer when
she sent the first installment of Harry Potter to the publishing house. She's the wealthiest author in the world. ya think??
3. Martha Stewart $638 million. Wasn't she jailed for fraud at one stage of her career?
4. Madonna- $325 million. Queen of pop... what else can I say?
5. Celine Dion- $250 million. Most of Celine's concerts are in Las Vegas. That means the costs of travelling, hotel fees, production etc is very limited... hence the reason why she gets to pocket more.
6. Mariah Carey - $225 million. Virgin records paid her. YES paid her roughly $28million to buy her out of her contract... hmmmm... would you decline that?
7. Janet Jackson $150 million. She made her first million when she was in her teens... Shame,
poor chick.
8. Julia Roberts - $140 million. Win an Oscar and become one of the wealthiest ladies around. GOSH!!! Is that the recipe for success? I like her though, she's a brilliant actress and she seems very cool.
9. Jennifer Lopez - $110 million. "First I wanna be a dancer, then I think I may try acting... that's fun, now I wanna be a singer. Oh but what about a clothing line, a fragrance or three..." What a house on the moon???
10. Jennifer Aniston -$110 million. At 1million an episode for Friends I guess
you can actual be that wealthy. Ans she's so lovely too... Brad's a tit!
11. The Olsen Twins - $100 million. What can we say, they were earning millions before they could talk. They're the presidents of their company, they have a clothing line, dolls and games all in their little craddle.
12. Britney Spears - $100 million. She's not even close to thirty, been married twice has two kids with one of the biggest dorks the world is faced with and is the only female singer to have four number one albums!
13. Judge Judy - $95 million. AAAh come on..... seriously. That show is shit, why? Why? Why?
14. Sandra Bullock - $85 million. This came as a bit of a shock, no lies!!
15. Cameron Diaz - $75 million. I guess with all that money a little bit of retail therapy couldn't hurt Cam after her recent break-up with JT. But then and again maybe she's hooking up with Jude Law- curse of the co-stars huh? Brad and Ange, Kate and Owen. Could they be the next golden couple? Or maybe she'll hook up with Shrek ;) The third installment drops later this year!
16. Gisele Bundchen - $70 million. The only model on the list...
17. Ellen DeGeneres - $65 million. HAHAHAHA... you still have a way to go if you wanna catch Oprah, but still you're loaded and I guess you're laughing at me now. I like your show though, sometimes!
18. Nicole Kidman - $60 million. Flaming lilly white Ozzie, guess she has to help pay for her hubbies Rehab!!
19. Christina Aguilera -$60 million. Dirrty gal got what she wanted, first nice an innocent worked, then Dirrty slutty Xtina helped shed her girl-next-door image and now she's a diva inspired by 20s,30s and 40's jazz. I like thr growth, I wouldn't mind your earnings though, that's amazingly big money!
20. Renee Zellweger - $45 million. I guess if I was getting paid close to 10mill a movie I'd also be putting on all that weight like Renee did in Bridget Jones's Diary-twice.
How crazy is that? They're loaded, but they all work hard and I reckon they deserve it? Dare I say it but is the 21st century going to ruled by the ladies? I think exciting and interesting times lye ahead! Especially with good old Hilary Clinton in the running for the presidency here... GO HIL!!
