Angelina Jolie nabbed the No. 1 spot on Forbes‘ 2009 Celebrity 100 list, the magazine announced Wednesday.
With a successful film career, a sought-after husband and an ever-expanding brood of children, some would say she has it all.
And that perhaps explains why Angelina Jolie has been named the most powerful celebrity in the world.
The actress, who celebrates her 34th birthday on Thursday, has topped Forbes magazine’s Celebrity 100 list for the first time.
She has even dethroned US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, who slipped to second place after two consecutive years at the top. According to the magazine, wealth is only one factor in determining the most powerful celebrity, and Jolie’s $27 million in earnings last year combined with her fame determined her ranking. (Interestingly, Winfrey grossed $275 million in 2008.)
Rounding out the top 5 positions in Forbes’ rankings: Madonna, whose Hard Candy tour and $110 million income landed her the No. 3 slot; Beyoncé is No. 4; and Tiger Woods fell to No. 5 on the list, down from No. 2 last year.
