According to the just-released Forbes 2012 Celebrity 100 List, Jenny from the Block is back. She handily defeated Lady Gaga, last year’s No. 1, as well as Oprah Winfrey (No. 2), Britney Spears (No. 6), and Steven Spielberg (No. 10). Lopez’s resurgence can be credited to her gig as a judge on American Idol, as well as her Kohl’s clothing line, her top-selling fragrances, her endorsement deals with L’Oreal and Gillette, and the two movies she has coming out this year.
Unlike Forbes‘ other rankings, the Celebrity 100 isn’t all about the Benjamins; the magazine takes overall fame and Internet notoriety into account as well. And though Lopez’s earnings are less than Winfrey’s or Spielberg’s ($52 million vs. $165 million and $130 million, respectively), her enormous visibility and social media presence helped the multi-hyphenate snag the list’s top spot.

? That type of mentallity right there is exactly how fools and their money are soon parted. And if you read any Forbes Celeb 100 list article, it tells you that the earnings figure they print is based on the pre-tax gross before fees (management, lawyer, agent, etc.) are deducted.
