It’s official: Oprah Winfrey has more power than God himself. Or at the very least, she’s got more money than him. And whose to say Oprah Winfrey isn’t, in fact, God in disguise? Hmm, something to think about there, kids. Anyways, in Forbes Magazine’s annual list of “100 Most Powerful Celebrities”, Oprah knocked off last year’s king, Tom Cruise, and jailbird sent Paris Hilton tumbling off the list completely. Golfing fool Tiger Woods came in second (seriously, golf?), while aging skank Madonna somehow managed to fake her way into third. Aging rockers The Rolling Stones clung to #4, while Brad Pitt handsomed his way into #5.
Here are the top 25. You can head over here to see the rest. (And the number after their name? That’s how much they made in 2007.)
