Not many celebrities share a penney of their wealth? Are you kidding me? THEY ALL DO. Thats right. They all STEP IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA AND WRITE A CHECK. They also run their mouths about poverty, starvation, human rights, ect. Its just business. If you're a public figure, your people arrange for you to be involved with some 'humanitarian' effort. Its just that simple. Michael Vicks (dog fighting), Marc Anthony (tax evasion), Bernie Ebbers (Worldcom scam), Jeffery Skilling and Kenneth Lay (Enron), Martha Stewart (insider trading), Paris, Britney, Lindsey, ect. IT IS A SHAM. These people don't want to make the world a better place. They want to APPEAR AS IF THEY DO. IT MAKES THEM RICHER (think sponsors, endorsements, contracts, free air time, publicity, and IMAGE). Its all just business. Nothing but worthless tax deductable PR CRAP. WAKE UP CELEBRITY JUNKIES. NO HUMANITARIAN WOULD DELIBERATELY EXPAND THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICH AND POOR. EXTREME WEALTH MAKES WORLD PROSPERITY ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.

Don't believe one optimistic word from any public figure about the economy..They are all part of the problem..Its like a game of Monopoly..The richest 1% now own more than 1/2 of all United States wealth..That is more than the upper,middle,and lower classes combined..Now,a recession is inevidable..The middle class can no longer afford to sustain their share of the economy..But the rich won't stop..They will do whatever it takes to get even richer..This is going to end just like a game of Monopoly..A total collapse of the US economy..Probably within a decade..The richest 1% live like royalty while the rest of us fight over jobs,food,and gasoline..Don't fall for this 'good will' BS from celebrities and executives..Remember..They are filthy rich EVEN AFTER their tax deductable contributions..Greedy pigs..Now, we are headed for the worst depression of all time..Crime,poverty,and suicide will skyrocket..SEND A "THANK YOU" NOTE TO YOUR FAVORITE MILLIONAIRE..Please copy and spread the word..We don't have much time.

This article from FORBES is not quite right....it calculates gross income from all fronts: records, concerts, promo, merchandising, ads, etc.

It is QUITE DIFFERENT to say that Madonna, who owns her own studios, recording company, concert and PR stuff, and does her own contracts regarding merchandising, mag covers etc. makes all for herself,

and different to say that Shakira and the others from 4 - 10, receive what they produce, since they have strict contracts with their recording labels, so they are get a percentage on some fields.... or have freedom in some others...

Wow. Congradulations to all of them. They work hard for their money and it is well earned...no matter their current problems. Everybody has harships during their lives. Unfortunately, these celebs have the unwanted luxury of it being broadcasted to the world. Gook luck to them all!

wheres Alicia Keys!!!??? that's weird shes better than britney ! whatever

madonna wish's she looked like brit on a bad day. this is one homely celeb.ughhh

see dummy women means more than one woman. woman is one. oh forget it you retard !! go back to school!!!

IF I HAD ALL THE MONEY MADONNA HAS AND LOOKED LIKE THAT, ID INVEST IN A MAKEOVER, I MEAN COME ONE, THIS WOMAN IS VERY UNATTRACTIVE!!! IVE SEEN BUMS ON THE STREET THAT LOOKED BETTER

Wow, that's a lot of money that all of the singers earned You go girls, except Britney Spears!

to Brit's defense, these are last years' statistics. this is about how much money the artists made between 06 and 07. Brit's album wasn't made then. This 8million was made only from Royalties of old albums and perfumes. And this doesn't mean what the artists are worth, that's a whole another story. It's like Reese Witherspoon when it comes to acting. SHe is the highest paying actor of 2006/07. It might be someone else this year, depending how the oscars pen out.
Brit's position will also change, cos her album was released, which i might add did very well, so that will change things a bit. She is not worth 8mil, she took home 8mil last year while she was at home, doing bugger all!

For starters "Friend" of Brit...you are on the wrong site to win her any new friends. Most of the people here dont have very nice things to say and it would only be a waste of our time really.

As for the story....the sad thing is that Brit make sthat much money mostly off of her perfumes. Not even her music. Pathetic. Us...get rid of all these stupid Brit stories please. We're all tired of the same crap, different day stories.

omg. britney spears sucks. she is really getting on my nerves. she has no talent what so ever. & she should get off her lazy bleep and do something.

Spears does not have "multiple personalities", but "Two personality disorders" does not have to mean that. "Personality disorders" can reference other issues. No idea what that person was talking about though. TMZ is ridiculous for talking as if they know what she has. No one can right now. No one will until she has intensive treatment for a time. She also needs to have substance abuse issues addressed. She was admitted into two rehabs. This means she admitted to using enough to be considered to have a problem.

The only thing they right that has substance in that, is that she quits taking her meds. Whether she does this or not who knows, I doubt they do, a lot of ill people do this. It doesn't mean the meds don't work though. Also, the medication will take more than a week for it to take full effect. So if their "professional" (professional what exactly? professional blogger perhaps? paparazzi?) is speaking of current times and meds, they are an idiot.

You would think with all this money britney would hire a personal stylist to teach her how to dress, wear panties, etc.... She isn't as rich as I thought she was.

Ummm...they're all women because it's a list of the richest *women* in music. =)
