Black Enterprise magazine will feature a list of the top 25 moneymakere in Hollywood. Here is a list of the top ten with excerpts from the press release:

No. 1 is media powerhouse Oprah Winfrey

No. 2
Shonda Rimes “the buzz and the advertising dollars Grey's Anatomy has generated for ABC Network and its parent company, Walt Disney Co., powered her to the upper echelons of the ranking”

No. 3 Will Smith “earning a reported $20 million, plus a percentage of the box office gross, for each big-budget film he appears in…his films have grossed $4.9 billion worldwide”

No. 4 Denzel Washington “American Gangster generated some $223 million worldwide”

No. 5
Halle Berry “reportedly is not making the $14 million salary she earned during her Catwoman days, she still receives about $10 million per flick”

Rounding out the list's top 10 are Jamie Foxx (No. 6); The Wayans Family (No. 7); Martin Lawrence (No. 8); Dana "Queen Latifah" Owens (No. 9); and Laurence Fishburne (No. 10).

Where's Tyra, Tyler, and Diddy? Guess we will have to wait for the rest of the list. This may be the same list Essence has.
