J.K. Rowling, who is finishing the seventh and final installment in her boy wizard series, ranks second with $1 billion. Stewart is third with $638 million. Madonna ranks fourth with $325 million, followed by Celine Dion ($250 million)...
NEW YORK - Surprise, surprise. Grass is green, the world is round and Oprah Winfrey is the richest woman in entertainment. The talk-show titan, who's amassed $1.5 billion over the course of her impressive career, has bested "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart to take the No. 1 spot on Forbes.com's list of "The 20 Richest Women in Entertainment."
Madonna ranks fourth with $325 million, followed by Celine Dion ($250 million), Mariah Carey ($225 million), Janet Jackson ($150 million), Julia Roberts ($140 million), and Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez (both $110 million).
To those whom much is given, much is expected. I sure hope these women take all that money and use the blessings they have received to better our world and our country in some way. I know Oprah has been a wonderful example in many ways, and I applaud her for that. As far as those on the rest of the list I am not so sure.
