Angelina Jolie has been named the most powerful celebrity in the world by Forbes magazine. The 33-year-old beat out talk show host Oprah Winfrey on the annual Celebrity 100 list, which is based on earnings and media exposure.Rounding out the top 5 positions in Forbes' rankings: Madonna, whose Hard Candy tour and $110 million income landed her the No. 3 slot; Beyoncé is No. 4; and Tiger Woods fell to No. 5 on the list, down from No. 2 last year. Tiger Woods is the only man in the top five.
Jolie, who earned $27m last year, moved from third place in 2008 due to high-profile turns in films such as Wanted and Kung Fu Panda, according to Forbes business magazine. But Winfrey remained the top earner, taking home $275m. Jolie's partner Brad Pitt came in ninth place, just behind his ex-wife, former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, who took eighth position.
