The top 7 earners didn't make money solely off of music.. Once again what music project netted over a billion dollars these past yrs? Notice you said bp probably made more than 2 million notice you didn't mention all the other people who made a million off of bp.. Once again it takes more employees to do a film, tv show, commercial than it does an album which means more employment opportunities.. How many people did you think it took to make oprah talk show? You got various cameramen, people that handle lights, audio, editing, makeup/hair, catering services, key grip, you got people that direct the audience... Notice all those jobs juss for a 1 hr show where there's only 1 main character.. Imagine a movie set and how many more jobs are available for individuals to make money.. She was generating millions off that show each yr which means you know crew members were caking it to.. Which goes back to killa question how many black men Oprah put on for them slots or bigger opportunities?
