Who's Got The Power???
Filed under: Media Minute
Forbes has issued their new annual Power List, ranking the top celebrities based on fame and money.
And, not much to anyone's surprise, Oprah Winfrey came in at number 1 with $275 million!!
Also on the list are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. However, Ange is much higher on the list, at number 3 with $14 million.
Bradley came in at number 10 with $20 million.
Guess we know who's on top now!
Miley Cyrus also made the list this year at number 35 and surprisingly so did Lauren Conrad at number 97. WTF??????
Oh, and Brad Pitt's ex also made the list. Jennifer Aniston came in at number 17.
And who can forget the Jonas Brothers. They came in at number 89.
The biggest earner, though, is J.K. Rowling, who came in at number 9 with $300 million.
Damn her!
CLICK HERE to find out who else made the Top 10 on the list.
1 Oprah Winfrey, $275 million
2 Tiger Woods, $115 million
3 Angelina Jolie, $14 million
4 Beyoncé Knowles, $80 million
5 David Beckham, $50 million
6 Johnny Depp, $72 million

…And just imagine what all these rich people could do if they all put even just a little of their millions together for somewhere that really needs it. These people do NOT need six humongous houses and eight cars!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FIRST
P-nasty?
Don't you hate when people line up the comments list with things like "FIRST" all the time? I mean seriously…
Perez, IOU
I don't get the list.. so you can make more money yet still be #9? hmm.. okay whatever
Sick!!! Too ricH!!
Oh, goody. A list of greedy waste-of-skin celebrities who have skads of money and pretend to be humanitarian.

Really? The Police? wtf?
9 J.K. Rowling, $300 million - how can she be # 9 if she makes more than 1 Oprah Winfrey, $275 million ???
Idiot

jonas brothers !

Perez they left you off the top ten
DOESNT MAKE SENSE
perez made a mistake huh? wit brad and anges shit
I just read a new Angie interview and I think she will so dump Pitt. She is WAAAAAY too strong for that little pee pee copycat loser.
lauren conrad??? WTF!
Y3$ JB !$ /\/U/\/\l33R 89 !
Y3/-\l-l !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big shocker Oprah on the list! I'm sooo sick of her!
This list makes no sense. How is the "order" chosen?
Well, Lauren got on there because people like you keep her name going by constantly reporting news on her. She is boring, and not even pretty. Lets find some new people to make fun of
JR Rowling and Oprah should be ashamed for not feeling guilty. 18000 children die every day of hunger! I can't wait to see them face to face with God.
Moron, your "quote" makes no sense. Do the math and check the positioning. Damn!
It is listing people according to FAME & money. How much they make is not the only criteria
Damn, beyonce cleaned house. And her and jay z are married so they both brough in 80 million. Can I have one million, just one>???
over it. who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay Bitches learn to read. His post says the list is based on FAME & money. Sheesh.
I love how these assholes hardly do anything and get paid yet they are the ones flapping their fucking gums on tv preaching to us NORMAL people about giving money to the poor. Jesus, it is so sad that some old man who is 70 and can't retire cleans toilets at my office for 10 an hour and these idiots prance around on camera and get paid thousands of dollars just to show up at parties. I just read that Whitney Port get's paid up to 50,000 to show up at parties and Lauren Conrad gets 25,000 per EPISODE to basically do NOTHING. I really am sick of these celeb's an their bank accounts….am I jealous? No, am I angry they try to pry our money away when they have 15 houses and 45 cars? YES!
Can J.K. Rowling adopt me please?
"celebrities based on !!!fame!!! and money."
for those who are suspecting mistakes
It is ranking based on income AND fame, people. So JK could be behind O.
Why is Angelina Jolie 3rd when so many others make alot more $$$$ than she does?
WHAT HAPPEN TO KELLY AND MICHELLE
THEY ARE RICH TOO
Yeah, how come The Police are in the top 10? Does their shit really still sell that much??
Re: HOW? – Both Angie and Brad have become rediculously famous. The list isn't based on money alone.
Re: HOW? – Both Angie and Brad have become ridiculously famous. The list isn't based on money alone.
wow. so oprah topped the list. again. where's dyke daddy ellen? i though oprah's career was on its way down, and ellen was the new "queen" of daytime?
like i said before…
A WHITE DYKE WILL NEVER TOP A BLACK QUEEN.
No one in the world of children's literature has left the lasting legacy of imagination that J K Rowling has. It is so hard to write original material, and so hard to keep at it for years as she has done. The rest of those people are incapable of producing original work. Most people are too stupid or too lazy to work for years on end at the drudgery of writing. I cannot understand why people begrudge her the money she has earned when they pay those stupid, uneducated, amoral celebrities millions just to read lines on paper.
CAN YOU TURDS READ? IT SAYS IT'S BASED ON FAME AS WELL AS MONEY.
But Jennifer Aniston's income is from the TV reruns. She isn't profitable anymore.
How can Angie be #3 with 14 million and Brad #10 with 20 million? another typo.
how can people with less money be more powerful than those with more money??
Rx
CANT STAND OPRAH!!
SHE MAY BE RICH BUT HER HOLYIER THEN THOU CAN STUFF IT
perez,
dont give a "WTF" to LC. YOU'RE the dickhead making her famous!
no one would give a shit about those hills/laguna fucktarts if you didn't post about them all the time.
i still love you though.
this makes NO sense.
No wonder this world is going down the tubes — and fast — if these are our powerful people. Miley Cyrus? The Jonas Brothers? Come on and get real. For God's sake. Truly lame.
Can someone please FIX THAT LIST!
ONE DAY I WANT TO MAKE IT TO NUMBER ONE ON THAT LIST!
also….[how do they calculate fame?]
I do not get the list … how is it that JK Rowling is at #9 when she's the richest paid celebrity outta all of them?
You are all ASSHOLES!!
.
Stop paying 12 bucks for a movie or $100+ for a concert and these "celebs" wouldn't be making so much.
.
STOP GIVING FREE ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET FOR EVERY BUBBLEGUM SONG or MOVIE OF WHICH YOU HAVE TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR/SEE/OWN.
Your list doesn't even make sense. So much for Perez trying to be a journalist. Guess he's doing this to mess with our heads!?!?!?
WHY ARE HER EYES SO FAR AWAY…HER EYES ARE ALMOST ON HER TEMPLES
IM soooooooo over that Obama supporter snob elitist cow she needs to disappear old bitch.
And Beyonce 4??!!really? As if her husband wasn't rich enough.
None of them deserve all that money.In fact no human needs to be that rich.
Re: Jimmi –
I agree.They are very rich because of their stupid fans.
Boycott them!!!
U WANNA KNOW WHY ANGELINA IS NR3 ????
COZ SHE SELLS EVERY MOVIE SHE IS IN……SHE TOPS THE BOXOFFICE WHEN HER MOVIES ARE OUT! SHE IS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CELEBRITY IN MEDIA TODAY!
THATS WHY SHE IS NR3
Re: Kelly –
IT is not only money but FAME too.
r u ppl stupid??? the list is based on both fame and money… so Oprah is said to be more famous than J.K Rowling. Its a POWER list not just a money list.
Why do they have so much money? I mean, can't they give parts of it to people who really need and deserve it. If everyone of them gave away a third of what they own, they still wouldn't have to move a finger again to work.
Re: Shel –
That's not a typo. This list is about POWER, not MONEY.
Team Lauren good for her!!!
Not a Jolie fan but she is a bigger worldwide celeb than Oprah even if she isn't as rich.
Shouldn't that caption next to her face say she's a bitch instead. Her show sucks and so does she.
where's madonna?
i love that she's that rich and still a chubbette.
uhh Madonna made a sh*t-load this year with that LiveNation deal. This list is jacked up. She should certainly be in over Brad Pitt with *only* 20 mil and most of his fame derived from being with Jolie these days.
just sayin'
JK Rowling went from poor to incredibly rich in less than a decade, so she knows what it's like to suffer! She donates constantly, not thousands of dollars, but millions! Just a couple of days ago she wrote a one page story, auctioned it for 50 grand and donated it to charity… last year she wrote a short story and amazon bought it for nearly 4 million dollars and she donated it to charty too! SO STOP CALLING HER GREEDY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
You guys are all idiots! The list has nothing to do with how much they make but how POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL they are! Oprah happens to be the richest.
Are you people stupid? THE LIST IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, it's a combo of earnings with press and internet hits, that's why Angelina is number 3 with only 14 million. And how did the negro Beyonce get that money? she probably stole it LOL well she has been whoring out everything from direct tv to her tacky ass clothing line so it's not a surprise. and YOU perez, YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING THE STUPID LC FAMOUS, YOU IDIOT, stop talking about those Hills/laguna beach losers and they won't be on any list, hell for a moment I thought Heidi and Spencer were going to be in it, in fact they should be, they made more money than Lauren and get as much press, sad.
LAUREN CONRAD is not on the Forbes list, I just checked it. Check your facts before you put them up.
Personally, I think the list is out of whack!!
Ummmm, where is the power on this list??
Re: ashle – speak for yourself…how are you going to tell them how to spend their money…idiot
