From Forbes
Rihanna
23
$29 million
Rihanna makes our list of the top earners under 30 in 10th place, although she just failed to make the cut for the Celebrity 100. The singer earned an estimated $29 million between May 2010 and May 2011 thanks to a tour, great album sales and endorsements with brands like Fuze Drinks and Venus Razors. She’s also becoming increasingly apt at attracting attention. Rihanna is the latest musician to kiss Brittney Spears at an awards show. The two locked lips at the recent Billboard Awards.
Beyoncé Knowles
29
$35 million
The Houston-born diva ranks unusually low on our list because she didn't tour or release an album over the past year. But her fourth solo effort, 4, is on the way. The simple title was reportedly selected by her fans, and is also a nod to her April 4 wedding anniversary with hubby Jay-Z. In the absence of new revenue on the music side, business-focused Beyoncé cashes in on clothing line Dereon and endorsement deals with L'Oréal, DirecTV, General Mills and others.

Beyonce is pure talent, from acting, singing, dancing...yet she's not as arrogant as that little twat, Rihanna LOL
Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop
This is such a stupid comparison. how about they compare the fact that Rhianna started in the business in 2005, barely 6 years ago while Beyonce has been in it since she was 7. And what about the fact that they make more in a month than a Dr makes in 4 year saving Lives. Grrrrrrr... I don't know why this is making me angry, but it is. Sheshhh, this Beyonce Vs Rhianna business is getting old.
@9jafoodie Bey saves lives too. Imagine all the obese people working out to "Move Your Body" to get in their "Freakum Dress". Lol I joke.
Linda, beyonce has a clothing line, a series of endorsements from long ago and she released a perfume brand so no, she was not off, she was just not touring.Rihanna's just bn in d industry for only 5/6yrs n she's making all dat money already? Plus she's just 23yrs old. Beyonce wasnt makin dat money @ dat age. How about u compare beyonce to lady gaga who just got in d game but is already earning higher than beyonce has ever earned. Or even justin beiber who's relatively new but has earned higher dan beyonce in her working years. And Linda, d grown n sexy aint into beyonce anymore so either get on dat boat or at least pretend to be. Leave your god for d teenagers who she caters to n who worship her. Ur too old for dis crap.
leave linda abeg she is just spreading the news it aint got anything to do with her likes and dislikes
lol naija mum u are too mush!
Yes There is no basis for comparing except for the good ol reason. LOL
It's nice to see a picture of both of them
Beyonce is 29 riri is 23 I'm 23 i am also anonymous i think if i were Rihanna i'd be so proud of where i am at 23.
They are both doing well hapuya like that.
Yah Rihanna is arrogant which is why she always reaches out and connects with her fans and ms knowles has never acknowledged her's. Let's compare the fact Rihanna in 6 yrs has sold more albums than Beyonce has in her 11 solo years, sold more singles, has more #1 songs, is higher on the list of best selling artists of all time.
And btw, those earnings are wrong. Rihanna sold more records, made more from touring and did more endorsements than anyone apart from lady caca (deliberate). Forbes even listed her endorsements wrongly. They even put Beyonce higher on fame rankings when, in reality, she's nowhere near the top 10 on the platforms used to measure (facebook, twitter, youtube) and Rihanna is in the top 3.
Rihanna did not endorse fuze drinks or venus razors…ever. This article is bullshit. Why didn't they mention her 200million dollar movie? Or the fact she also endorsed renault? And that she's the voice of a 1.3 billion dollar campaign for niveas 100yr anniversary? Fail. Rihanna remains on top
lol i really dont care about both of them as people or as artist the same way i dont care about lady gaga and nicki minaj...all of them are so overrated.
me encanta las dos son exelentes artistas

I find it very immature to compare Beyonce's and Rihanna's salaries. I doesn't take a rocket-scientist to know that Beyonce does endorsements which she is highly paid, and Beyonce has been in the industry longer than Rihanna. Even my five year old daughter would have figured this out by now. The End, on to the next post.
the only thing these two have in common are:
ILLUMINATI GALORE!
When did Beyonce take this so called "time off"? This girl has been in the spot light 24/7 for years now. If you actually add it up, Rihanna made more from less work. Beyonce's money comes from alot of sources.
I'm not a fan of either; though Rihanna's "man down" track is a classic as far as I'm concerned. In any event,both women are doing well financially and no one should feel sad for Rihanna. After all, $29 million is nothing to sneeze at.
Wow! Really????? Rihanna in 6yrs has sold more albums than Beyonce has in her 11yrs solo career,really?? Beyonce 11yrs solo career?? 11yrs?? Where have I been.
I now see why linda comparing them.
Some of ur saying ..Rihanna remains on top, which TOP???
Beyonce started her solo career 11yrs ago,
FYI Beyonce started her solo career 8yrs ago and Rihanna started
6yrs ago,
To cont.....
Yes Beyonce was already famous from D.C.
The only thing I love about riri is, she came from from Barbados a small Island and became a big star
Here in America, she has 10 #1 songs.
So for some of ur to said rihanna is a bigger star than Beyonce?? I'm comfuse,
Cus ever rihanna knows that Beyonce is bigger than her and she respect that,
Some of ur cmparing Ages and the yrs they started, Rihanna started before lady Gaga, justin Bieber, Taylor Swift ,
This write up is crap!! is there anything like an off for an artiste whose album is constantly being sold, has endorsements year round etc. Abeg, abeg, this is bullxxxx!
Beyonce owns a CLOTHING line. DUH!
YES BEY TOOK A LIL BREAK THIS GONE YEAR.
NO TOUR, NO NEW ALBUM,NO NEW MOVIE ETC.
SO IF SHE OUT AND ABOUT PAPS TAKE HER PHOTO
IS THAT HER FAULT,
SO BECAUSE SHE SAID SHE TAKING A BREAK
SHE SHOULD LOCK HERSELF UP IN THE HOUSE
OR CALL L'OREAL TO PUT HER ENDORSEMENT ON
HOLD OR CLOSE HER CLOTHING LINE, BEFORE
YOUR KNOW SHE WAS ON A BREAK?? PLEASE.
IF BEY WAS NOT ON A BREAK IN 2010, HER ASS
WAS GONNA RELEASE A NEW ALBUM AND BE ON TOUR,
IT NOT HER FAULT SHE WAS IN THE NEWS,
RIHANNA, LADY GAGA, JUSTIN BIEBER,KATY PERRY
TAYLOR SWIFT ETC ALL HAD NEW ALBUMS OUT AND
SUCCESSFUL WORLD TOURS.
Go Beeee...
Very cute picture of both of them
DOnt know what is promoting this rivalry, they aint on the same level
In all fairness Beyonce has been in the business for over a decade and Rihanna barely half that. They can't be expected to earn the same.
Lady Gaga been in the business for 3yrs,
And rihanna been in the Business 6yrs,
Lady Gaga make more than rihanna so
What ur point?
All the artist listest above all have new albums and Been touring since last year except Beyonce.
