Angelina Jolie just topped the list for "Most Powerful Celebrity In The World." The honor arrives in close succession to her birthday, as if things couldn't get more perfect for the actress. Here are the details via The Daily Mail: [The actress, who celebrates her 34th birthday on Thursday,
has topped Forbes magazine's Celebrity 100 list for the first time. She has even dethroned US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, who
slipped to second place after two consecutive years at the top. In addition to nearly doubling her earnings in the past
year, from £9 million ($18 million) to £16 million ($32 million), Angelina Jolie is the most famous star on
the planet,' Forbes senior editor Matthew Miller explained. She is in the dialogue of popular culture nearly every day
- for her acting, for her relationship with Brad Pitt, for her children and for
her philanthropic endeavours. 'All of this exposure leads to an extremely powerful
celebrity brand - one that allows her to command a higher salary when starring
in movies, can bring more people to the theatre and one that she can monetise
further if she chose to do so.]
Looks like her bid to rule the world is working. Not bad for a woman who was branded an oddball outsider by Hollywood less than a decade ago. Click here for the full list. Partner Brad Pitt is number nine, several notches beneath Angelina - just the way she likes it! So, the rumor that they were breaking up (again!) and this instance was finally the real deal - well, that was before the list. This explains the quick return to solid couple. Bitch is in charge.
