Divas Rule Forbes Celebrity 100: Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna & Taylor in Top 10
Twenty musicians made Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list, which ranks the most powerful celebs of the last 12 months based on Internet presence, press clips, TV mentions and "how they're viewed by American consumers." Music divas ruled the Top 10, including Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Madonna and Taylor Swift. Oh, and Justin Bieber, if you consider him a diva...
Gaga landed at No. 2, just behind Oprah at No. 1 (natch). Forbes reported that Mother Monster earned $80 million last year (despite a hip injury cancelling her most recent tour).
Bey nabbed the No. 4 spot, while her husband Jay-Z landed at No. 32. Madonna took No. 5 and Swift No. 6.
Two male musicians also made the Top 10: Bon Jovi at No. 7 and Biebs at No. 9. And stars from EDM (David Guetta, Calvin Harris), country (Carrie Underwood, Kenny Chesney) and hip hop (Kanye West, Dr. Dre) all made the list, too.
