    Forbes Ranks Beyonce As Most Powerful Black Woman In Music

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Beyonce

    Maybe Beyonce does run the world after all. The singer has been crowned by Forbes as one of the most powerful black women in the US, nabbing the honor of being the only musician on the list.

    Alongside Oprah Winfrey, BET CEO Debra Lee, Tyra Banks and several others, Beyonce has been recognised for her influence in both the media and American culture. Her current net worth is an estimated $300 million after earning $35 million from early 2010 to early 2011.

    Beyonce’s husband, Jay-Z, was recently heralded as the highest earning Hip-Hop act after garnering over $37 million from 2010 to 2011. His estimated net worth is projected to be $450 million.

      There’s no denying that Beyonce is doing her thing. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Not my favorite, but I give credit where due.

      Trent –you know this article was not about who was most power black woman in music. WHY DO U CONTINUE to pay homage to Beyonce when the article was clearly about BLACK WOMEN AND #1 WAS OPRAH….damn u are doing anything to get hits from the stans– why wasn’t OPRAH’s pics posted instead of Beyonce…You dogg Kelly Rowland out every day, but embrace Bey. Your posts are gettin tired…try to show balance

    • wayno

      Alongside??…OPRAH was #1

    • sara

      did y’all read the forbes article, no one was ranked, they were just listed and if u can read trent never said she was number one, he said she was one of those listed as the most powerful black women, and she ws the only musician
      #DUMB PEOPLE

    • Courtney

      that’s just for the last money earning period just wait until Mariah comes back next year and blows B out of the water money doesn’t dertermine legendary status fan loyalty does

    • Comma

      Some of yall REAL pressed lol

    • Americanboi

      Apparently you idiots didn’t read what Trent wrote correctly. Beyonce was the ONLY BLACK FEMALE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY ON THE LIST. Which makes her #1 in MUSIC. Which is what the top of the post says you ignorant fucking morons. If you weren’t so PRESSED you would have read correctly rather then skimming through just to JUMP to the comments section!

      And @Courtney sweetheart Beyonce has been at the top for the Forbes list the last 3 years. In that time span Mariah did in fact release an album…and made less then Beyonce. So um…yea shut the fuck up.

      Congrats to Bey for being ranked as the #1 black musician female! I hope she continue to do well!
