"Forbes" magazine is all about money and the people who have and control it.

So, "Forbes" keeps track of anything and anyone connected to the big bucks and there are plenty of those in the celebrity world.

Money translates into power and that's what money, at the highest level, is all about, power. When you have money you have power, and power gets you more money, so it just keeps going on and on, for some.

I guess this phenomenon is what gave rise to the expression, "The rich get richer".

Anyway "Forbes" has compiled a list of the world's most powerful celebrities.
