It’s that time of year again, when Forbes.com releases their Forbes Celebrity Power List, based on overall earnings and fame. Usually Oprah Winfrey comes in on top but not this year! This year Angelina Jolie ranks number one on the Forbes Celebrity Power List!
For earnings, Angelina earned $27 million in the past 12 months. As far as fame goes, Forbes has always explained that they use things like web references/searches, magazine covers, and broadcast mentions. As we all know, Angelina’s name is mentioned constantly around the Internet, not to mention the volume of magazine covers that have her face on them.
Between the two, Angie was able to bump Oprah out of first place even though the media mogul earned a whopping $275 million over the past year between her television show, magazine, and other projects.
With Angelina Jolie in first place at Forbes, that left Oprah in second place, followed by Madonna in third and Beyonce Knowles in fourth.
Meanwhile Brad Pitt came in ninth place even though his earnings were slightly higher at $28 million this past year. It’s odd that there’s such a gap between them since they’re both usually mentioned together in headlines, but perhaps Angie has had more magazine covers alone – plus she gets mentioned for style & fashion more often I think.
I wonder if they like to joke about it at home together, you know with good-natured teasing – “Nope, you change the diaper this time, I came in first on Forbes!”
Congratulations to both of them, especially since we know how much they do with their money and celebrity power to help those in need all around the world!

… although I don’t like the In Touch editor being interviewed. It doesn’t justify what they are doing to her.
Congrats, Angie!
SHERRY BRAD AND ANGIES REPS HAVE DENOUNCED THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER STORY ABOUT THEM ANNOUNCING AN OFFICIAL SPLIT AS “ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE”. SO THERE YOU GO FOR THOSE FANS LIKE SUNNY AND OTHERS WHO STILL KEEP LETTING THE TABS GET TO YOUR HEAD HOPE YOU SLEEP A LITTLE BETTER TONIGHT.lol
what a perfect birthday present for Angie! yayy! Most Powerful Celebrity in the world – that’s a nice title! i’m so happy for her and Brad because even though tabs are trying to pull them down, they always rise above all.
Funny Sherry but I was just laughing about the same exact thing,wondering if they tease each other about their power I hope they do especially with the sense of humour that he has.What I like the most about what Forbes said is that she has an EXTREMELY POWERFUL BRAND.
Congrats to Angelina !

Yayyyyyyy!!! Congrats to Angie!! Wonderful news.
Thanks Sherry for all the new threads. Got a lot of catching up to do. Love your choice of photo for this thread. Angie looks absolutely stunning.
SOOOOOO Happy for Angie, well deserved.
That doesn’t sound right. I read the forbes article and they said the $27 million included her pay for Wanted, Kung Fu Panda, and Salt. She earned about 14-15 million for Wanted and another 14 million + a percentage of the profits from Salt. That alone would mean she earned 28 million. I don’t know how much she got for the KFP, but she’s earning more than Forbes says. Anyways, Go Angie!
i’ve just read an article in OMG.yahoo.com about her winning!
it’s a nice article and i like the first paragraph, it goes: “She’s rich. She’s talented. She’s beautiful. And now Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity in the world.” :D

congratulations! :D
she deserves it, way to go Angie!
God Bless you more and your family!
WOW! I’m impressed. Knocked OPRAH out of 1st place. I’ve always thought of her as a very powerful celeb of course (Oprah), but Angelina Jolie does grab my attention more. I’m so happy that she has that position and is using it to give a voice to people who don’t have one. I respect this woman so much.
Go, Angie! I’m so happy that she topped this list!
