It seems like everyday Forbes is releasing a list of their richest celebrities and most powerful celebrities. Forbes has just released their World’s Most Powerful Celebrities list. I’m guessing that “powerful” means filthy stinkin’ rich by the looks of the wealthy list. The usual suspects made the list, but *gasp* Beyonce beat out Oprah with a whopping $115 million. And where did Bey’s hubby Jay Z land? In 6th place, which is a large jump from his place at number 32 last year. He and Beyonce’s catchy tune, “Upgrade Ya” must be true to life. Bey certainly pulled her hubby up a couple of notches!
