In the latest issue of Forbes, “celebrity edition”, talk show host Oprah Winfrey once again tops the list. Trailing right behind her is Tiger Woods. The golf player signed a deal with Gatorade back in March for as much as $100 million. Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles, and David Beckham round out the top five.

Oprah Winfrey is ranked as the world’s most powerful celebrity in the annual Forbes Celebrity 100 list. Despite recent speculation that her popularity and influence might be waning, she remains at the top of the Forbes list, and was second only to J.K. Rowling in the earning stakes. The Forbes list is designed to reflect the influence of a celebrity in any one year. The list looks at how much a celebrity is paid, and how much other people are paying attention to them.

Power couples feature highly in this year’s list. The press coverage surrounding Angelina Jolie (no. 3) and Brad Pitt (10) shows no sign of abating as they wait for their twins to arrive, while Beyonce (4) and Jay-Z (7) cement their status as hip hop’s premier players. Interestingly, in both cases, the women appear higher on the list than their partners.
