Interesting! Thot Madge was retired? Good on her. Jay and 1direction tho...hehehe *hiding face* it's all good tho. Carter Dynasty still rules.
First to comment...YAGA!

Chaiii. Only few rappers. Even dis new generation rappers are nt dere sef
I guess Mr West isn't gonna rest until he fires at Forbes.
Evn ppl way never hold mic since 1992, then still put them.
No hip hop in the top ten? Interesting!
JLo got more paid than Jay Z, Rihanna and Katy Perry? Wow, mama ain't slowing down... Love it
Imagine Beyonce at num 9 & Jay zee num 18. Na wa oooo. But this Madona too much sha. Up on d noice wey lady gaga dey make so, Madona even beat her wit $45. Hmmm, no be small tin oo
Madonna making more money than Beyonce n Jay Z combined,then why all the hype? I can see it's white man thing.
hehehehehe where's Rick ross?
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Maddie always on top of her game.Bitter that my Icons Dre,Diddy and Jay-Z weren't in the top 10.It also shows that Rick Ross,Lil Wayne,Nicky Minaj and the entire YMCMB crew are noise makers.If the list is anything to go by,it clearly shows that white people dominate record sales and tours.By the way,I am not a racist
Ha were is 2face & d rest?
money, money and more money. money is the name of the game
Which one be tie? The rest na coat? There should be a list of inspiring artiste too lets see if any of them will make it.*flourish.looks side ways
I know some of you will misunderstand this list as usual,highest paid doesn't actually mean the richest musicians.
Beyonce still going strong after no new material, only black in d top 1o!proud of her #inspired #greatness *onyxgodwin*
I definitely know gaga will be among dis list!
Love u lady gaga!
Beyonce still going strong after no new material, only black d top 1o!proud of her #inspired #greatness *onyxgodwin*

If not because our currency have no value due to our leaders disfunctionalism, 1 Dollar would av been the same as N1. Now, we think they are more than us. Up Nigeria Musicianx
this Forbes sef. How do they make the list? I guess they just ask some of their employees to fill questioners , then come up with a list. Cos this list doesn't make sense.
#falls of d bed# u are sha crazy. Lmao
Most of the people comment on this blog are so ignorant and backwards try reading other materials apart from LIJB for a change and enlighten urself.... Huh!
D list is just d highest paid, p.diddy is waaaaaaaay richer than all of them, this nigga has CIROC VODKA.........
Yes you are right, but how ever madona still remains the wealthiest musician with over 1 billion dollars as her net worth
Illiterate.tie between bey n chesney at $53m each.

Lwkmd I don't fink diz is true na assumptions. See jay z p diddy kanye wasn't in d list sef na lie jorrrr #unicjane
Yes oo, it's obvious dat u don't knw sean combs at all coz he is d richest hip hop artiste
Yeah help me tell them oooooo jay z and d others might just b doing charity for receiving DAt low for a job n itz also market strategy 'lower the pay higher the jobs' #Jane
Lwkmd I don't fink diz is true na assumptions. See jay z p diddy kanye wasn't in d list sef na lie jorrrr #unicjane
Whr is kanye lmao kim don comot am frm d list
wait oh linda,number 10 no dey oh
Ahan no linda ikeji dere ooo d wan who spends millions shopping
See, It pays to be like Madonna (Gaga!)
Good question. ....with all his latest paparazzi. ....
Are you kidding me??? How does Madonna do it. Even Jayz is lost in the crowd and they way they carry on you would think they are the FIFA president of the music industry.
justin b ..ahead of b too ..wow
Lie
where is Kanye?
Mumu! Se jennifer hudson be musician?
Dbanj is missing on dat list...(Cover my face)
Nice. Aryora.wordpress.com
This list is from june last year to dis year. Most of em made their money mostly from touring and deals they v wit companies. Some of em also v side business like p.diddy who is a very successful biz man. Records aren't sellin as much in d us so u v 2 go on tour 2 make good money.
Where are the double MG's maybach music...dere got to a space for d biggest rapper on dat list..shout out to rick ross
The young Billionaire Sowemimo Abiodun Alex C.E.O P.O.G and Conglomerate now on Forbes list
The rosy make ups gives lady gaga's outfit anoda boost of energy..this woman are definetly nt of this world
Jennifer Hudson is both a musician and an actress. Hope you have learnt something today.
Beyonce hs a lot of endorsements including the highest selling celebrity perfume. Plus she's been on tour all year nd I mean selling out stadiums kind of tour nt club appearances. Don't necessarily like d bitch but that's one hardworkin mothafuckin bitch
Pure fake..what abt Chris brown
Abeg wia lil wanye. This list na #wash#
Olodo! Pls tell, where is she from?
Busy body like u!
Madonna always on top she never tired to leave it for the younger ones?
Justin Timberlake is not here, what is Elton John doing there, this must be a joke!
If one direction wasn't included then i'll know its fake.
Where is Mariah Carey......awwwww
please people understand ooo its highest paid musicians not richest how many shows una dey see Madonna? how manyb tour she don do since last u hear her song? no be when dem fit pay u u go go show? if Rihanna attends 2o shows in a month and Madonna attend 1 in a year Rihanna never make money pass am?
y'all should chill. a lotta musicians make so much more from owning basketball clubs, american football clubs and other investments. even endorsements from companies. if you were a CEO of a multinational, would you rather endorse Gaga or Queen B as the face of your company? THINK!!!
Plus i still doubt the credibility of this list though
Hope all these assets are well calculated 'cuz' some of these celebs live fake lifes.
Forbes disappoint me...dis list is wack...good question someone asked...hu d even pay dem dat kind tin...wen dem perform,dem d raise dead pipu ne? Abi money d rain down from heaven?....and wats justin bieber doin ahead of dem Jay Z and d rest?....wia is d pied piper of rnb R.Kelly...infact dis list na lie!! Wia is 50? Wia is adele or john legend? Dese are niggas hu desav such money...by d way wia is Chris brown? OMG...*hits head on d wall* wia d fuck is eminem....linda abeg remove dis rubbish from here...arrant lies
D idiot dat eva said bey has so many endorsement deal must be so lost... After she and jayz dey make mouth dey caim us royals.. Even dier overall networth put 2gether is not up to madonna, celine dion,Cher, mariah carey and Janet jackson... They are so overhyped.. Em is a better rapper 1million times dan jay z and his album without tours is selling more dan jay z 's and his tour put 2geda but u wud never here em brag abt his wealth... I don't know how forbes measure dier wealth tho. But most times dey r overhyped and its not all celebs dat create avenues for forbes to measure dier wealth eg U2,celine dion and many odas... Pls dat una so called queen bey who rihanna has better songs dan is way overhyped. She has no endorsement deals upto j jackson, madonna even jlo, britney name em..one of d fakest celebs d world is yet to discover..
Shut up jare madge has been opening her chain of fitness houses and she had her mdna tour a wyl ago. Wch endorsements riri get?
Awon Yen ni smellos,awon eleyi ni freshos.....hehehehehehe
Believe me, they are not biased. They are professionals.
U nor well o,erigga my fucking ass!!!,that nigga won't be on this list 200 yrs from now....lwkmd!!
