Forbes has just released it's top-earning Black celebrities list and Oprah tops it, of course, with - $260m a year ($2.6bn) i.e. she earns $712,000 a day! Last October, she gave away about $300,000 to her audience (click on link to read). Well, that is just less than a half day's salary innit?

The Top Ten Are:
1. Oprah Winfrey $260 million
2. Tiger Woods $100 million
3. Jay-Z $83 million
4. 50 Cent $33 million
5. Kobe Bryant $33 million
6. Shaquille O’Neal $32 million
7. Michael Jordan $31 million
8. Will Smith $31 million

At the same time, talk show host, producer and supermodel, Tyra Banks is becoming a public role model, she was even given an award (click). That still doesn't stop her from being a tad bit jealous of talk show host, Oprah Winfrey according to a lie detector test. Who wouldn't be? Watch video below:

I love Sheila Johnson... she beat me as the first black woman to own an NBA team but she's not the majority owner. So there's still hope for me as the first black female majority owner of an NBA team.

The herbal Generic Viagra are generally to be taken with milk. Since the herbal Viagra contain more than one herb in them, one major plus point becomes that a single preparation can be used to treat several male sexual problems at once. Also, since they are made of natural herbs, they do not have major side effects like the real Cialis does.
