Okay okay, we are about a week and a couple of days away from Super Bowl XLI so for the meantime, let’s talk about something else.

How about female celebrities? Let’s do one better, how about the richest female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Okay, now that my cheap way of introducing this one is finally over, let’s go on with it then.

Oprah Winfrey. Surprise surprise, Oprah wins the no.1 slot as far as richest female celebrities are concerned. From a poor and raped little girl in rural Mississippi, this (as J.J. Jack puts it) mutated freak is now the richest woman in Hollywood. Heck, she’s the ONLY black female billionaire.

Yes, she has more money than Missy Elliot.

In the late 1980s, following the debut of her super-successful syndicated talk show, Oprah earned $2 million a year. Today, she pockets an estimated $225 million annually from TV and other endeavors.

Next in our list, we have that irritating singer, Celine Dion. As much as we like to see Kate Winslet wet, Celine Dion’s singing just destroys the moment. Well, as annoying as she sounds when she screams, she’s rich. Filthy too. The Canadian chanteuse’s exclusive five-year gig at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas has vaulted her into Forbes’ list of richest female celebrities and until people continues to buy albums of her screaming, she’ll stay there for a damn long time.

Next, we have Eminem’s former beyatch, (one of them anyway…) Mariah Carey. Is it just me or is she still as hot as she was before? All that cash apparently does wonderful things for her (boobs) eh?

The Long Island songbird’s career exploded in 1990 with her debut album released under the guidance of Columbia Records’ boss Tommy Mottola. No one could have anticipated her extraordinary comeback in 2005 with the bestselling ”The Emancipation of Mimi.” To date, the pop diva has sold 160 million albums.
