Forbes’ New 100 Poweful Celebrity List
Who are the newest powerful celebrities this year?
Forbes Magazine, the other day, unveiled their latest Celebrity Power Rankings and Oprah Winfrey, is once again on Number 1. This despite a drop in her TV program’s viewership as well as subscriptions to her O Magazine. This is her fifth time in the Top 10 and Oprah is said to have earned $275 million before taxes in the last 12 months.
Following her at the second spot is golf sensation Tiger Woods, with $115 million.
Humanitarian Angelina Jolie comes in as the third most powerful, with measly $14 million in earnings (compared to the other celebrities) and she strings along the father of her children, Brad Pitt, who falls on Top 10.
The complete Top 10 list:
Oprah Winfrey - $275 million
Tiger Woods - $115 million
Angelina Jolie - $14 million
Beyonce Knowles - $80 million
David Beckham - $50 million
Johnny Depp - $72 million
Jay-Z - $82 million
The Police - $115 million
J.K. Rowling - $300 million
Brad Pitt - $20 million
While JK Rowling earned the most last year, with $300 Million, the Power List isn’t just ranked based on earnings but also pull, influence and purchasing power.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna, Tina Fey, Rachel Ray and Heidi Klum are also in the list ranking. Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and The Jonas Brothers — the latest teen sensations, all made it to Top 100.
Curiously not on the list are Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba and Jessica Simpson. Tom Hanks was prominent in previous rankings.
