On the full Forbes list, you can see that her next competitor, actress Katherine Heigl, comes in at a distant second:

Tyra Banks must have faced much race discrimination, some of the most subtle kinds, on her rise to the top of the fashion industry. But she did not let it stop her then, and she is not letting any barriers stop her now. In Bank's new career as a media maven, by becoming the top female earner in prime time TV, she is showing women of all ages and backgrounds that they can achieve their dreams.

Like most blacks, you probably come from a big family...How bout using some of your earnings on those members of yo family that are on the Public dole...I would say donate some to NAACP, but it probably wouldn"t get to anybody that needs it.
But, that's ok, cause Obama goin to take care of da black folk, at da expense of da rest of da races...Is this a great country, or whut!

Damn skippy! And it's about time! $100 trillion wouldn't be enough to pay Black Americans back for what they have contributed to this country. They built it with blood, sweat and tears.
If it wasn't for black people, the U.S.A. would probably still be the 13 colonies. Do you know what that is? Dumb ass.

I KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE! OBAMA IS AN HONEST MAN AND HAS NOT GIVEN ONE THING TO BLACKS ,THAT HE HASN'T GIVEN TO THE OTHER RACES. YOU ARE A SICK PSYCHOTIC HILLBILLY TRYING TO DAMAGE THE IMAGE OF A HONEST MEN WHO CARES ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL. NOW, WHEN GEORGE BUSH WAS IN OFFICE ,HE WAS A TRUE KILLER,DEMON,THIEF AND YOU NEVER SAID ONE BAD WORD ABOUT HIM AND HE DESTROYED THE STABILITY OF ALL RACES. WHY IS IT THAT NOW THAT WE ARE ALL F*CKED UP (THANKS TO GEORGE)YOU WANT TO BLAME EVERYTHING ON OBAMA...WELL, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT BLACK PEOPLE HAVE LITERALLY DONE TO YOU? NOT A DAMN THING! BUT GUESS WHAT ...IT'S GOING TO BE THE BLACKS THAT'S GOING TO HELP YOU OUT!!!.
GW BUSH WICK BILL, FU**ED UP THE NATION, SO WE ARE ALL IN DEEP SH*T IF IT DOESN'T GET STRAIGHTENED OUT. ONE THING ABOUT BLACK FOLKS IS..."WE ALREADY SURVIVED THE TITLE WAVE" YOU HAD TO LEARN HOW TO SURVIVE IT. WE WERE TAUGHT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE AND DEAL WITH ALL LEVELS OF LIFE,GREAT AND SMALL,THE WORST OF THE WORST( THANKS TO WHITE FOLKS) DO YOU AGREE? ( JUST SAY YES AND KEEP READING)NOW WE ARE DEALING WITH THE WORST OF TIMES AND YOU WHITES DON'T SEE US WITH THAT TOTAL LOOK OF SUFFERING ON OUR FACES SO YOU THINK WE ARE GETTING SOME SPECIAL CHECK FROM OUR BLACK PRESIDENT ...HELL NO!!!! WE GOT SOME SPECIAL HELP FROM YOU WHITE FOLKS CALLED...HOW TO LIVE WITH LESS,OR HOW TO EAT LESS AND STILL BE HAPPY,OR HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING OR...(SHALL I GO ON?) WELL I'M SURE YOUR GETTING THE MESSAGE . BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO WHITE FOLKS BECAUSE ...WE TOOK CARE OF YOU!!! YOU HAVE NEVER TAKEN CARE OF US!!! AND THE REAL CREDIT GOES TO...BIG MOMMA, GRANNY, MAMAU, GRAN,MADIA,NANA,...THOSE ARE THE POWER SOURCES OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!! THEY ARE THE ONES WHO TAUGHT US HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING AND THOSE ARE OUR SURVIVAL TACTICS, THOSE TEACHINGS KEEP US A FLOAT. A BIG POT OF CHILI BEANS IS KEEPING US AFLOAT. AND WE CANT FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE WORLD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE...WE'VE SEEN WORSE..(THANKS TO YOU).NOW DO YOU GET IT?
SO WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS OTHER RACES HAVE,BUT WE WALK THROUGH THEM DIFFERENTLY...WE HAVE ALREADY LIVED IN THIS ERA...(GOT IT?) THAT'S WHY IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE NOT SUFFERING. SO OBAMA MUST BE GIVING US A BLACK CHECK UNDER THE TABLE!!! WELL TELL OBAMA WE DIDN'T GET OUR BLACK CHECK YET AND WE'RE BLACK! THERE IS NO CHECK AND THERE IS NO ONE COMING TO SAVE YOU...SO LIKE MY GRAMMA USE TO SAY..." YOU BETTER SAVE YOURSELF!!! ( THANKS ESSIE HEARNS) THAT'S MY LATE GRAMMA WHO TAUGHT ME THE REAL TRUE MEANING OF SURVIVAL!!! AND THAT IS YOUR KEY TO LIVING. SO LET ME LEAVE YOU WITH THIS PHRASE THAT WE BLACK FOLKS OFTEN USE " DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, BE ABOUT IT"...SO YOU HAD BETTER STOP LOOKING AT WHAT BLACK MAGIC WE USE AND YOU HAD BETTER FIND YOU SOME BLACK FRIENDS THAT ARE GOING TO TEACH YOU HOW TO..."WORK YOUR MAGIC" SO GET BUSY WITH IT AND STOP THAT GOT DA*N WHINING!!!

First off let me say you sound like a uneducated baffon. Second of all uneducated fool most things a president does has to go through congess and the senate. He just cant favor the blacks folks as you call us.Anyone who thinks he can do that is crazy. If he gets this health care to go through that is for everyone not just blacks. As far as anything else he has done so far has nothing to do with blacks and blacks alone its been for all of us. Bus bought the country to its knee's. He didnt do anything to help all those people in New Orleans thouse people are still living in those tiny trailers. 95% of those people cant go back to their neighborhoods. What about that you got a answer to that..I bet you dont!! Bush sent all those men to war allot of those guys lost their homes and families because of the economic mess Bush put the country in. Who is going to take care of those guys coming back with no arms legs etc. They are young men and they are going to be a drain on the health care system for ever! So dont talk to me about Oboma is going to take care of black folks he's got to clean up the mess Bush put us in a white man!!!

Is that the green-eyed monster, or just the keg of Coors talking? Sober up and quit hatin', jackass. Tyra's is smart, pretty, and she made her own luck by working hard for it, so stop talking out your crack. Stop acting like she took something from your lazy, envious ass.
