How is Madonna not higher? I thought she was worth almost a billion

Yes, for Forbes she didn´t earn money since 2008. A woman with 40 years career just 575M and Taylor with 10 plus years career with 570M. A little bit strange. Only Madonna pay taxes, the others don`t.

Madonna art collection alone  worth more than 200M :skull:

They had Madonna at 570M since early 00, but she crossed that mark in the early 90.

I love these girls but how are Beyonce and Taylor self made :rip: Beyonce might know how to kill it on stage and Taylor might know how to write a song, but both come from wealth and push from their parents. 

Taylor parents have no connection with the industry, they are just middle class America. 

They help her pursue her dream by moving to Nashville and drive her around to radio station begging them to play her song and she signed with Big Machine, a brand new record label at the time with literally no history, no staff. So how can she's not self made.

By your logic then no one is ever really self made cause obviously to be successful you need help here and there from other people. But you and your talent is the one who should take main credit.

Isn’t Madonna father an motor engineer? Rene played a big part in Celine’s career and same with Jay Z with Rihanna. 

What does this have to do with anything?

He still didn't support her and was against her leaving Michigan, which she left on her own terms and no money. He actually kept trying for her to go back home while she was trying her luck in NYC. If anything, Madonna's father was in her way, not the other way around lmao. He wanted her to be a lawyer or something ...

Thanks for confirming she's not a self-made person :skull:

 

And yes, a selfmade person is someone like Madonna who had NOTHING with the help of NONE who started from ZERO , who hustled and grinded on her own for years.

Im not argue about Madonna success story, its very self made and inspiring. But doesn`t mean the other woman on this list is not self made just because they have better parents that encourage them to pursue their career lol.

Self-made? Why are women that came from middle-class and up families there?

 

Small loan of a million dollars teas.

Sis, i think you should read the definition of a selfmade person. As much as i love most of the girls on this list, they all had mentors who guided them, Rihanna had Jay, Beyoncé had her father,Céline had René, Mariah had Tommy who were taking care of the behind the scenes and made their careers bigger.

 

Again, this is totally different from someone like Madonna who did EVERYTHING on her own.

 

and sorry but Taylor Swift is anything but a selfmade as she's the incarnation of white privilege :skull:

Bro Taylor lives in a mansion ever since she was born, their parents could afford dropping everything and launching her career, that's not self made. If she had to go though highschool and stuff she would have debuted at 25 :rip: she wants you to believe the humble country image, but she's far from it. She even faked accent right? :huh:

 

the middle American class in question:

I'm sorry... But Rihanna grew up in Barbados, with an addict dad and left her home at 15 leaving everything behind.

 

How is that not self-made?

 

She was signed right away, that doesnt mean she had any help, everyone after signing a contract with a record company has help.... that's what music companies are for.

I have to laugh how, according to Forbes, Madonna's wealth somehow manages to decrease year on year! :lmao:
