It's no surprise that Oprah Winfrey tops a new Forbes list that ranks the highest paid African American celebrities in the U.S.
The talk show host, whose overall net worth is $2.5 billion, pocketed $260 million between June 2006 and June 2007, according to the financial publication. Her revenues come from a number of successful enterprises, including her daytime talk show, magazine, satellite radio channel, Broadway show and newly-announced cable network slated to debut late next year.
Tiger Woods ranks second on the list with $100 million banked within the list's June 2006 to June 2007 time frame, which is more than any athlete in history. At the rate he's going, Forbes estimates that Woods will become the world's first sports billionaire within a decade.
Rounding out the top 10 are rap mogul Jay-Z with $83 million made between June 2006 and June 2007, rapper 50 Cent ($33 million), Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant ($33 million), Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal ($32 million), NBA legend Michael Jordan ($31 million), actor Will Smith ($31 million), singer Beyonce ($27 million) and Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James ($27 million).
