It is time for another list…. Don’t you just love lists? Even if you don’t you perhaps know that I adore lists! Top 10, most powerful, most famous, richest, I find these lists fascinating. This time I wanted to do a list of the top celebrities according to Forbes.

Rather predictably, the top, most powerful celebrity is Oprah Winfrey, in terms of pay, web rank, press rank and TV/radio rank. With her daytime talk show, satellite radio show, magazine and Broadway musical the media queen is the most influential and powerful celeb around.

The next of the list is, a little more surprisingly, a sportsperson: Golfer Extraordinaire, Tiger Woods. Apparently the guy makes all his really big bucks from endorsements, most notably the Nike endorement. Woods is the first athlete to have made $100 million a year. Well nice to be paid to play!

Obviously pop diva Madonna with her talent for constantly reinventing herself finds a place in this list. In addition to the fingers she has in all the other pies, she also started her own clothing line.

Now the Rolling Stones guys still command a hefty clout no matter if they are the Methuselah among Rockers and look like the ‘before’ pic of an anti wrinkle cream advert. They had the highest-grossing tour in North America raking in $139 million. They earned double of that abroad! Good going wrinklies.

The scrumptious Bard Pitt of the Brangelina combine is next on the top celebrity list, these days even more in the news for becoming the proud papa of twins, whose first photos reportedly fetched the obscene amount of $20 million - all to be given to charity.

Johnny Depp is next on the list, and people if you will pardon me, I really can’t understand this man’s allure. Forbes lists his top attributes at talented and interesting; we’ll just leave it at that!

Another aging but interesting rocker finds his way into this list; Elton John, known for his flashy clothes and flashy shows is over 60 but with his never say die attitude, commands respect and adulation still!

In his heyday Tom Cruise graced the top of the Forbes top 100 list, and is now relegated to a mere 8^th spot. Being dumped by Paramount caused a reversal of his fortunes, but he was able to salvage a comeback nevertheless.

Jay-Z, hip-hopper, businessman and Beyonce’s significant other is both talented and a trend setter in his own right, and comes in at no 9.

Everyone’s favorite filmmaker, and one of the most influential people ever in Hollywood comes in only at no 10 on this list.

I listed out the top ten for you here, if you want you can go here and see all the 100! Happy celeb spotting!
