Forbes has just released its annual Celebrity Top 100 list, which considers earnings, popularity, and press to come to some arbitrary ranking system. It's sort of a big wev, to be honest, but I noticed this year that three of the top 5 are women—two of whom are women of color.
1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Tiger Woods
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Beyoncé Knowles
5. David Beckham
And the top two earners on the entire list were women, too: Oprah came in second with a mere $275 million last year, while JK Rowling earned $300 million.
Kinda cool.
Btw, I don't know how the fook Judge Judy came in at #40, but that is totally cracking my shit up.
