Mz. Jennifer Lopez is bringing in the cash and cashing in on this year’s Forbes World’s Most Powerful Celebrities list! But don’t be fooled (by the rocks that she’s got, got) — she’s still Jenny from the block!
From On The 6 to America’s hit TV show, J.Lo tops this year’s list at numero uno, for her “career reincarnation” and for earning $52 million over the last 12 months!!
The annual list is based on money AND fame, with fame being defined as media visibility and social media presence!
While Oprah stays snuggled in at second place like last year, Justin Bieber follows right after the talk show legend, ranking at number 3 and earning $55 million.
Pretty impressive!
Though second (second is the best…?), Oprah STILL ranks as number one in TV/Radio AND in earnings, making $165 million in just this past year!!!
Rihanna comes in at number four, with one million more in earnings than J.Lo, while Lady Gaga dropped from number one last year to number five in 2012, making just as much as Lopez.
Newly appointed X Factor mentor, Britney Spears took in $58 mil at number six, though we’re sure the Femme Fatale will get a boost next year after her XF paycheck comes in!
Making only $18 million at number seven? Kim Kardashian! The reality star did, however, come in at number five for TV/Radio.
California Gurl Katy Perry hits number eight, Tom Cruise is at number nine and Steven Spielberg takes tenth place.
