True power is being on a media blackout and still being the most powerful musician.
This is definitely validation after an entire year of people saying she was fading. You heard it straight from Forbe's mouth, you can't touch the queen.
Forbes' lists used to be so logical. It seems like since they realized stans care a lot about their list, they started to make things randomly (since last year). This year's and last year's list are a little aleatory. Oprah doesn't deserve that top spot and I love her.
Of course, because we’re FORBES, money carries the most weight in our rankings, and thanks to that Madonna is back on the Celeb 100–in fifth place–after two years off the list. Even though her newest album, MDNA, was a flop, the Material Girl still managed to rank as this year’s top earner thanks to a world tour that helped her rake in $125 million between June 2012 and June 2013.
