Oprah Winfrey

Love her or hate her, there's no denying that Oprah's got bank. She tops the Forbes magazine "Celebrity 100 Power List," which ranks the rich on annual earnings and buzz.

The talkshow queen raked in $260 million over the last year thanks, in part, to her own show and production company (which produces "Dr. Phil" and the new "Rachael Ray Show"), her Broadway musical "The Color Purple" and her upcoming philanthropic reality series, "Oprah's Big Give."

 

An African American scored not only the top spot but runner-up, too. Tiger Woods, who is ranked second, made a cool $100 million last year.

Also on the list: Jay-Z (9th) with earnings of $83 million, plus 50 Cent and Sean "Diddy" Combs, who ranked 32nd and 43rd.
