How sad for you that she debuted within the top 20.

Anyways, congrats Beyonce

Poor Kanye didn't make the top 10 with the rest of the Clique

[zzmyth]

mess at oprah being that high when she is pretty low EVERYWHERE.

The only aspect Rihanna lacks according to the list is earnings... And her new contract and album should change that

Yep. A good chunk of Rihanna's tour fell within Forbes "tracking" period.

Well, because Rihanna doesn't write her music, her money comes from endorsements and touring, not albums. I'm really curious as to what her touring deal is because making less than $40m from a tour that grossed over $140m is really strange.

She still scalped.

Who else

[PrettyHurts]

7 Black people in the top 10

[Dr.Cake]

I don't mean to shade anyone, but why is Miley higher than Gaga on the list?

Money: #51 vs #55
Press: #19 vs #5
Social: #10 vs #4

She ranked two places higher just because she got 3M more earnings than Gaga, while Gaga totally dismisses her in the other categories?

[satellites.™]

These poor girls thinking the press revolves around TMZ and ATRL polls.

Real celebrities are talked about in print, broadcast and social media.

[bey0nce]

Not a $51M gap between Bey and the next pop girl

[Lein]

Dr.Dre 620M

#1 Beyonce Knowles
#8 Rihanna 26 $48 M Album released November 2012
#9 Katy Perry 29 $40 M

That's Crazy!
what an amazing week for bey, she also the most awraded artist in the history of the BET Awards!

[DG1]

For Beyoncé, though, that’s almost like a vacation. She played 95 shows on her Mrs. Carter World Tour from June 2013 to June 2014, a big part of the reason she earned a career-best $115 million last year. Along with her impressive social media following, her bevy of media attention and general cultural impact, she’s the most powerful musician—and most influential entertainer of any stripe—on this year’s Celebrity 100.

Gaga making the Top 20, what a queen
Congrats to Bey on being #1
