NEW YORK - Superstar actress and humanitarian advocate Angelina Jolie has unseated talk show diva Oprah Winfrey as the world's most powerful celebrity in a new survey published by Forbes magazine Wednesday.
The top ranking is based on income over the past 12 months as well as web references, press clippings, broadcast mentions and major magazine covers devoted to the celebrity, Forbes said. Oscar winner Jolie, 33, one half of the Hollywood golden couple dubbed "Brangelina" with Brad Pitt, earned $27 million between June 2008 and June 2009.
Her earnings and "famous face," Forbes said, were enough to dethrone media maven Winfrey, who earned $275 million. Jolie, who came in third last year, is known for balancing her movie career and work as a goodwill ambassador for the UN refugee agency with her ever-growing six-child family with Pitt. In third place was pop legend Madonna, the magazine said.
In fourth place was singer and actress Beyonce Knowles with earnings of $87 million, who was lauded by Forbes for her "multi-platform empire." The top male power-player Tiger Woods came in fifth with $110 million in earnings. Despite a year beset by injury, the star golfer remained the world's highest paid athlete. A lucrative touring schedule was enough to catapult rock legend Bruce Springsteen to the sixth spot with $70 million in earnings, and bump director Steven Spielberg to seventh, whose work on the Indiana Jones sequel earned him $150 million.
