Can Angelina Really Be the Most Powerful Celeb?
Jun - 06 | By: Fashion Guru | no comments.
Unlike some mags, who throw together “hot” lists just to lure stars into parties or interviews, Forbes crunches real numbers. In the case of the Forbes Celebrity 100, the editors used two factors: earned income and recognizability (media mentions and magazine covers).
Recognizability can, in turn, indicate future income and influence. The Oprah makes many more dollars than Angelina Jolie, and she lords over Chicago from a sky-high pied-à-terre. But between her tabloid adventures, worldwide charities and mega-million-dollar movie deals, Jolie reigns over the entire planet. Hence her No. 1 spot.
And as for you hormone-jacked Twihards who keep asking why Robert Pattinson didn’t make the Forbes list, there’s your answer.
