Tiger Woods made $100 M last year?! Why? Wheaties and em pay that much?
Gorgeous Black Women
Forbes only takes into account public records for these individuals, other black celebs made more than some who are on the list - take for example, Michael Jackson and his ATV catalog that's partnered up with Sony. That venture brings in multiple millions every year, yet MJ hasn't been on one of these lists for years. That's because they can't get an exact figure as to how much he gets out of that partnerships earnings, so they just choose to leave him off the list.
MJ can't pay his mortgage. I doubt he's making that much.

Did I hear right about Chuck D's statement on his radio show "On the Real?" That ALL African-american billionaires and millionaires combined in this country is not even A percentage point in the larger scope of wealth?
