Can you say MONEY?????!!!!!!
If you said “yes”, you are DEFINITELY NOT ALONE. Apparently so can the celebrities that you and I have come to know…. via their work, interviews, and tabloids…
So how did everyone do?
Oprah is ranked #1 (when combining $$ and fame) over $275 MIL earnings before taxes.
Beyonce’ is #4 over $80 MIL
50 Cent #26 over $150 MIL
Angelina Jolie #3
Am I the only one who is thinking that is absurd? That’s one of the reasons that entertainment has gotten to where it is now… <<insert place here>> It’s one thing to think “I want to be a Singer/Model/Basketball player when I grow up”… I mean hey… we all thought that. BUT there is a SHORTAGE of nurses, teachers, etc…. why? because all our children want to work in the entertainment industry or another industry where they can make LOTS of money…
True enough.. money drives the lifestyle you lead, but when did entertainment trump the pursuit of knowledge? think about that.
**with that, I’m GONE**
