Billionaire Oprah Winfrey, with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion, is back on top of Forbes' annual "Celebrity 100 Power List." The Forbes list ranks the rich and famous based on earnings and buzz. Oprah has replaced Tom Cruise as the world’s most powerful celebrity and last topped the list in 2005.
Winfrey, who came in third last year, was the top money-maker with an estimated income of $260 million over the past 12 months from various media ventures.
Famous jailbird Paris Hilton has dropped off this year’s annual Forbes magazine list. Also not making the cut were two other young women with party-girl reputations - actress Lindsay Lohan and singer Britney Spears (last ranked in 2002).
