hard work, discipline and just plain determination. She deserves all the credit and one of the few icons who never had a meltdown….Met here professionally 3 times in London re her upcomming film, and she's tough but she's also very creative and deserves respect for being around for over 20 years now and always challenging herself.

Madonna is the most bankable Star on the planet. She deserves all this success. The woman is an ICON. I hope Rosie opens for her!!

Thank god, she is getting a new record deal. Her last album COTHDF, was a smash success all over the world, selling up to 13 million albums. Her last tour was a juggernaut, selling out over the entire world, generating over 200 million dollars. Everything she dips her feet in turns to gold. No wonder she is the most influential and powerful artist in the America and in the World. I could only say Oprah would be more influential and powerful.

Hate her or love her, she always stirs debates and water cooler talk and blogs like this. If she wasn't a force to be dealt with; why so much talk in these blogs about her?

I cant wait to hear her new album, and I will for sure see her next summer when she goes on tour.

And the suckers who would pay to see this 90 year old no talent are???
AL says – reply to this

#20 she has had three back to back #1 albums in the US and most other countries…Music, American Life, and Confessions On a Dancefloor all went #1 in the US. Find any artist who has been in this industry for 25+ years and can still have back to back #1 albums worldwide. Confessions sales were HUGE internationally and her last concert was the highest grossing of any female in history….she is still worth great $$ to record companies and her career is very strong. Singles are mainly charted based on radio play and she doesn't get much radio play anymore, hence no #1 singles…but singles in the US don't make any money anyway…it's album sales that are important to record companies, singles just help the album sales.

31

Not worth it. Hasn't done anything worthwhile in years. I wonder how she is going to explain her Sex book to her daughter. At least she is giving her children the education she didn't have. Maybe there is hope.
JT says – reply to this

32

Some media reports are saying that she is working Justin and Timbeland like dogs….forcing them to work 16+ hours a day…day after day, along with her. JT had said that she is a work horse…..so, I guess hard work pays off.

Madonna is by far the richest woman in music, and one of the richest women in the world with a networth of over $850 million dollars. Madonna is the highest earning female singer of all time according to both the 2007 Guinness Book of Records she is worth every penny. Her album COADF has sold more then 10 million copies worldwide and her last tour became the highest grossing tour by a female ever!

Aside from her music and films, Madonna is also involved in the magagement of MadGuy Films; Boy Toy, Inc.; Webo Girl; Siren Films; Slutco, Inc..

Maverick Records was the most successful "vanity label" in music history. While under Madonna's control it generated well over $1 'billion dollars for Warner Bros. Records, more money than any other recording artist's record label. She helped bankroll Alanis Morissette and Michelle Branch's careers.

Alvin Hall, presenter of World's Most Powerful on BBC News chose Madonna as the World's Most Powerful Celebrity, followed by Oprah Winfrey.

Look at all these young girls that can't hold it together (Britney, Nicole, Paris, Lindsay.) Madonna has never been arrested or in rehab. She has an iron will and has always been in charge of her life. I can't help but admire someone that never gives up. Love that woman!

It's interesting that Madonna's the hardest working woman in show business and she's never had a breakdown or fall out like britney, mariah….etc just an observation of sorts

Mariah Carey is a fat ugly whore. I just love that all the negative comments are from Mariah's crazy delusional fans. Madonna is the most successful female singer of all time. FACT. Her last tour in 2006 was the most successful for a female ever. FACT. Hung Up, her 2005 smash, hit #1 in a record breaking number of countries as did her CD, Confessions, hitting #1 in a record breaking number of countries. The CD sold an enormous amount of world wide. FACT. Saying she is a has been was funny in 1986, looking true in 1993, was laughable in 1997, was quaint in 2002 but now its just really pathetic. Yeah with all her success she has had with Confessions on a Dancefloor and her last tour I wish I was a has been! LMFAO. Now Mariah, that whore can't sell out the local high school gymnasium( look at her pathetic last tour). Mariah is a studio creation. Zero stage presence, can't sing for shit live and nobody takes her seriously in the music biz. FACT. Now Madonna, THAT is the real deal.

aww you think marana has talent how cute why doesnt she have any big hits? like a virgin was in the 80's hun its over shes had her time let go and let Carey in okay! Mariah has proven her self time and time again all of her cds went to number 1 and shes tied with elvis and only behind the beatles so that just facts you cant fight facts and btw Mariah sounds great live exactly what she sounds on cd is what she souonds like live unlike marana who lip syncs just like Britney

That Right, shes worth it & more. I know I buy anything from her. I love her. I love her art, her music, her dancing, her stylisticts, her thoughts. Shes the always been one of the most modern people in my mind. Perez knows we live in a world full of backwards, ignorant, undeveloped, premature, unenlightened, humans still in 2007.
Madonna is the real deal. Shes one of the only people that get my full attention. If these companys want to make money they better invest in her. Now that shes 49, she knows more than ever, & Madonna has never been one to give you all shes got at once. When she wants to use her full power, shes knows exactly what to do & its unparalled.
Madonna has never behaved like a Hollywood Brat. As far as I can remember, she has worked, & worked & worked. Its just when the "retards" of our culture are in control & are able to exert pressure on her to conform (temporarly of course), where shes come across trouble. Shes never gone to rehab, had a drug or alcohol problem, nervous breakdown, hit & run, overweight, underweight, been bankrupt, down & out, etc.
Come on give her some credit people.

I'm really tired of this whore. She poisoned my generation with her pornography book but now she don't let her children watch TV.- Saint Madonna?

She and Angelina are competing to see which one is more "humanitarian" , that's why they hate each other. Same funnny whore in different continents.

So many anti-christs in this era, it's not even funny!

Dollar Valuations Surface on Madonna, Live Nation Discussion
More information surfaced this week on a possible mega-deal involving Madonna and Live Nation. The discussions, first disclosed on July 11th by Digital Music News, reportedly traverse touring, recording, merchandising, and other revenue generators. Earlier, one executive close to the negotiations estimated the deal at "well past $100 million," and sources this week complemented those assertions. Specifically, one executive pointed to a valuation of $160 million, while another at a prying rival quoted a figure "closer to $180 million."

The broad arrangement would place Madonna outside of a major label relationship. During a discussion this week, one source opened the possibility of a counteroffer by Warner Music Group, though that information could not be verified. Either way, a hefty sum of cash will be required to retain Madonna for the next chapter of her career. Elsewhere, other big-name artists - mostly notably Prince, Paul McCartney, and Joni Mitchell - are constructing creative deals of their own, and diminishing the importance of majors in the process.

I love how Madonna owns her own record company (Maverick),
but she can still suck off $180 million from someone else to do her thing.

Remember when Janet got $40 million and that was supposed to be a big deal?

She should start a school like Oprah, except for wannabes who want to be like her. It could combine business classes with fashion, and sex classes like the ones Paris Hilton took that were set up by her mother. It would be fierce!
