NEW YORK: Hollywood hearthrob Tom Cruise topped the world's most powerful celebrity list closely followed by Rolling Stones, Oprah Winfrey and Tiger Woods, according to Forbes magazine.
The 43-year old actor, who recently had a daughter with Katie Holmes, has 67 million dollars following release of his films War of the Worlds and Mission Impossible 3 , the magazine said releasing its annual list of 100 most powerful celebrities on Thursday.
The magazine based its list on income between June 2005 and June 2006 on a combination of factors including Web references as calculated by Google, press clips and the number of times a celebrity's face has appeared on the cover of 26 major consumer magazines.
The 20 most powerful names in show business included seasoned old-school performers such as sexagenarian rockers Rolling Stones (No 2) with 162 million dollars and U2, the Irish band who won the Grammy award held the fourth position in the list.
Oprah Winfrey, who has aired her show for 20 years, came in third this year with her communication empire worth 225 million dollar.
The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown came in 10th.
Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, who had sold the rights to his name and likeness last year for USD 50 million occupied the 13th slot despite not having boxed a single round in almost 25 years.
Tiger Woods, who has been in the top five for the last five years straight, once again is ranked fifth, making USD 90 million over the last year, mostly from endorsements.
Actress Jennifer Aniston is in 35th place and Angelina Jolie, 36th |
