Jennifer Lopez dethroned Lady Gaga as the world's most powerful celebrity, according to a list published Wednesday by Forbes magazine in which the queen of US television Oprah Winfrey came in in second place.
The singer of numbers such as "Let's Get Loud" and "Love Don't Cost A
Thing" has hurtled upwards from the No. 50 slot she occupied last year
in the magazine's ranking of the 100 most influential movie, TV, music
and sports stars.
"The Latina...parlayed her position as a judge on American Idol
into hit singles, increased album sales, an upcoming world tour, three
new movies and a growing portfolio of endorsements," wrote Forbes, which
measures the fame, power and earnings of the stars.
JLo, who last summer separated from Marc Anthony,
amassed earnings over the past year of $52 million, more than double
the $25 million she earned the previous year, according to the figures
compiled by Forbes.
The star, who is of Puerto Rican origin,
unseated New Yorker Lady Gaga, from the No. 1 spot on the list, with the
former top celebrity falling to fifth place because she did not tour
much recently, although she also earned $52 million and her influence on
the social networks continues to be "tremendous".
Others on the top five include;
2.Oprah Winfre
3.Justin bieber
4.Rihana
5.Lady Gaga
