All hail Queen Bey!

The singer has crossed another milestone in the music industry by becoming the highest earning black artiste of all times, a record that was held by Michael Jackson.

33-year-old Beyonce makes over $1 million per concert and she just got done with 132 performances on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, so it is with no surprise that Billboard confirms her as the highest earning black artist of all time.
 
She is already planning a 16-city tour with her husband Jay Z, set for this summer!

Queen B takes the reins from legendary artists like Dr. Dre, Prince and even Michael Jackson, who was recently named the highest earning deceased celebrity after he made over $160 million between October 2012 and October 2013.

She pretty much runs the world… in music.

The L.A. Clippers aren't technically for sale yet, but that doesn't mean Hollywood isn't already looking to buy. Variety reports that Oprah Winfrey is currently thinking about adding "basketball team owner" to her impressive resume. In a statement, her spokeswoman said, "Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team become available."

Earlier this week, current Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned for life from the NBA after he was caught on tape making racist comments. NBA commissioner Adam Silver is trying to force him to sell the team, but Sterling, who has owned the Clippers since 1981, says he's not interested in selling. Silver needs a three-quarters majority vote of league owners to force Sterling out.
