And he still loves her.obviously you are obsessed with this couple or better still,Kim.
Are you wondering why someone you continue to put down at every opportunity and who you have more or less labeled a slut can continue to find men who want to die there while you are celibate and can't find a man to marry you for you?
Not your money darling.you?I wonder why.

Anonymous said...

Katty Perry dey blush for cover....Sharukh Khan,Opera Winfrey is not on the list...

Unknown said...

Why would he be when? Everything about kim k is. Bussines even her marriage to kanye...I think there is a fixed amount kanye pays to her every year just for being his wife

Lots of people aren't there.no Oprah,no Angelina Jolie and brad pitt,no George Clooney,no Mariah Carey,no Madonna but you chose to highlight only kanye and Kim.

You are a very angry woman.money really doesn't buy purity of the soul

Anonymous said...

Don't be daft, can't you see those numbers are tied.. Same amount of money = same number on the list.
The confusing one is salman Khan coming 71 and 73.

haryodele said...

Go to school so u will be a lil bit enlightened. It wasn't linda dat numbered it first of all, and deres nuffin wrong with the numbering. Two or more people that worth same value are numbered that way. Pele dear.

haryodele said...

ary said...

One day I will be on that list!

osavic90 said...

Common guys!! Why una dey fall person hand? There is an obvious difference between the highest paid in 2015 and the richest over all. The fact that you can't find people like Kanye or other known wealthy stars on the list does not mean those on the list are richer. It simply means that they made more money within the year under review. Just imagine for example that Kanye made $200mil in 2013/2014 and made $25mil in 2014/2015. That's a total of $225mil in two years. Now compare that with Kim K's $25mil in 2013/2014 and $50mil in 2014/2015. Who still get money pass? Make some of una dey reason before jumping..

Where's p diddy? Fake list.

Nnenne,you sound a little daft.he's worth more.this figure is for a period of time as stated above.
He hangs around her cos he loves her.that's what love does,it makes you want to be around the person.I guess your partner doesn't even call you.or maybe you don't even have one.

Anonymous said...

Jasmine,on the contrary.far from lonely and very blessed.I'm just uncomfortable with her constant bashing of someone she doesn't know.Not only this lady but even Nigerian celebs.she should play fair by posting all celeb news eg tiwa and not just those she doesn't like

Anonymous said...

11.07,yes I know its for a year.i wrote that cos Linda said kanyes name didn't come up.doesn't mean he's still not worth more.at times artistes take breaks.
