None can deny that Adele was the biggest artist alive during the ~2 years of 21. J.Lo and someone else topped Forbes, though.
I mean, who really cares?

I agree the list itself doesn't really matter (since they include subjective ****), but for most stans it's about seeing the culmination of your fave's work in a dollar amount. That's what really gives this list its influence. You don't get that anywhere else. Forbes is after all the most reputable financial news publication.
The rankings is all arbitrary tho. But if they just went by money, the same people would be topping it every year.
