Jolie tops celebrity power list

· Angelina Jolie
· Oprah Winfrey
· Madonna
· Beyonce
· Tiger Woods
· Bruce Springsteen
· Steven Spielberg
· Jennifer Aniston
· Brad Pitt
· Kobe Bryant
This is the new top 10 of most powerful celebrities. Shocking about this list is that Angelina Jolie knocked Oprah Winfrey off the top spot. Jolie earns 27 million dollars a year and got more popular because of her latest movies. Oprah still earns more approximately 275 million dollars a year. The Celebrity 100 list is based on earnings and media exposure. Madonna came third thanks to last years tour. Fourth place is for singer Beyoncé followed by Tiger Woods, the only male in the top 5. Coldplay lead the British in 15th place. Unfortunately author J.K. Rowling disappeared from the list, since there are no more new Harry Potter book last year.

I find it amazing how much money these celebrities make. Isn’t it shocking that some people do not have a home, food and water, and Oprah Winfrey still makes over 750.000 dollars a day! Of course these stars donate a lot of money to charity too but it is shocking. I, personally, prefer Oprah Winfrey over Angelina Jolie but just because she seperated Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. (Jennifer is my favorite ‘Friend’. ) I am pleasently surprised that there are so many black people in the top 10. Sometimes people say that black people do not get as many chances as white people do, and racism can still be an issue in some countries nowadays. But this top 10 proves black people can be successful too.

  1. Oprah earns 275 million dollars a year? Give me just 1% of that and I would be happy! Thank you for telling us how much oprah earns in a day, because I think most of us will have to work a lot of years to get that money. I really think I chose the wrong career. I just should be the new Oprah. And I totally agree with you on the black people argument. Do not forget our newest popular 'blackie': President Obama! I liked reading your article, Lisanne, good job!
