Talk show legend Oprah Winfrey topped the Forbes' Celebrity 100 list, which is a ranking of the world's most powerful celebrities based on estimated earnings, the number of mentions in the media, and the celebs' number of magazine covers. Sounds like they've got this down to a science!
Winfrey, who earned $275 million last year held the No. 1 spot on the list, while Tiger Woods stayed at No. 2, as he has made $115 million in the last twelve months. Angelina Jolie made far less, at $14 million, but her star factor was high enough to propel her to the No. 3 spot. Angelina's babydaddy Brad Pitt came in at No. 10.
Teen phenom Miley Cyrus got plenty of media mentions in the past few months, which undoubtedly helped push her to No. 35 on the list. The 15-year-old star had a super successful concert tour, a hit 3-D film, and the now infamous Vanity Fair photo spread to bolster her position.
Other Hollywood stars on the list include Justin Timberlake (No. 12), Cameron Diaz (No. 14), Madonna (No. 21), Leonardo DiCaprio (No. 44), Keira Knightley (No. 47), Gisele Bundchen (No. 66), Ashley Tisdale (No. 94), and Lauren Conrad (No. 97). Looks like all those magazine covers LC did really paid off!
Brangelina weren't the only celebrity power couple mentioned - Jay Z (No. 7) and Beyonce Knowles (No. 4), made a showing due to Beyonce's $80 million in earnings and Jay Z's $150 million-deal with concert promoter Live Nation. That's one rich (and lucky) couple!
