Yesterday Forbes ranked the Celebrity 100, the world's most powerful celebrities, and of course Oprah's on top. Other women in the top ten: 3) Angelina Jolie
4) Beyonce Knowles
9) J.K. Rowling.
When ranked by earnings, J.K. Rowling beat out Oprah; the two women earned $300 million and $275 million respectively.
This year was much better for women than 2007, when only two women made the top ten - Oprah again on top, and Madonna at 3. The next woman in line was Angelina Jolie, way down at 14 last year.
The list is determined annually by Forbes and is described as "a power ranking based on both earnings and fame."
