Forbes magazine has released their annual 100 most powerful and influential celebrities list. The way they measure a star’s influence is on their earnings for the year, how many times they’re searched on Google, mentions in the press and appearances on major magazine covers.

THE TOP 10

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Tiger Woods
3. Madonna
4. Rolling Stones
5. Brad Pitt
6. Johnny Depp
7. Elton John
8. Tom Cruise
9. Jay-Z
10.Steven Spielberg

If you’re a rap fan then having one of the bro’s in there at #9 should put a smile on your face – last year it was 50 Cent, coming in at #8. Outside the top 10 you might be surprised to learn Michael Jordan is still going hard, coming in at #35, 13 places above LeBron at #48… and somehow Bon Jovi comes in at #18, wtf.

If you don’t mind braving all the ads the Forbes website forces upon you, and clicking through multiple links to read the whole list (cunning muthafuckas), click HERE.

And here’s a NZ Herald article if you wanna peep some analysis on the Top 10.
