According to the New York Post, "Celebrity appearances are an advertising staple, with one survey last year suggesting as much as 20 percent of all ads feature a TV, film or sports star." This was a stellar year for black celebrities who created, endorsed, and cashed out on brands ranging from champagne to satellite TV, (speaking specifically of Jay-Z and Beyonce respectively).
