Madonna Reaches Billionaire Status

Madonna-2013-1

She was apparently already worth about 700 million prior to her MDNA tour last year….taken from Huffington Post:

Her net worth jumped after her MDNA Tour brought in a whopping $305,158,363, making it the highest-grossing tour of 2012. That’s not counting the $75 million in merch sales, nor does it include the $10 million in TV and DVD rights that came with the 88-stop jaunt around the globe.

Rick Ross Speaks On Lil’ Wayne Health Issues

Naturally, Rick Ross was able to vibe with VIBE on the matter of health among one of his peers, given that he’s had a couple of seizures himself:

“Yeah…that’s the homie, I had a few words with Birdman and it’s all positive,” he said on Wayne’s status.

Given his own battle with balancing work and life, Ross said it’s about prioritizing. “It’s just all about putting yourself first and we always reiterate that with each other: ‘Get rest,’” he said. “Sometimes, your desire can overwhelm the things you know that are right for you.”
