can’t believe they gave madonna only 325. She is worth atleast twice the amount.

Why was barbra Streisand not on this list.

There´s no way that these sources are correct because there´s no way in the world that doesn´t have more than 50mill.

Seriously this List is 100 percent wrong.. I know it for a fact. Beyonce’s Net worth alone has 2 be over 200 million. she makes over 70 million every tour she does. not counted money for making a record or a movie. Even her clothing line. BULL SHIT LIST
By Larry on October 8th, 2007 at 6:30 am
The reason y no one can find how much beyonce is worth is because she never had admited it 2 anyone..
By Larry on October 8th, 2007 at 6:31 am

why isnt jessica simson on the list
By Sue on February 1st, 2008 at 11:14 pm
What about female pop singer P!nk. Why isn’t she on such a list?
Pink is an amazing singer and performer, and in terms of sales, for example, Pink sold over 5 million CDs of her I’m Not Dead (IND) album alone, plus her I’m Not Dead Tour of 2006 and 2007 including over 30 sold out Arena shows in Australia, and not to forget other shows and sales of her singles and other albums, DVDs, and digital sales, etc.
On its own 5 million IND CD albums X approx $20 = approx gross $100 million in IND CD sales alone, plus all the other stuff.
