Forbes release their Hollywood top 100 list, but who managed to take the coveted top spot?

The UK may have the Sunday Times Rich List, but the US have the Forbes top 100 Power List.

The list of celebrities is compiled based on earnings and global exposure and is the list every celebrity wishes to get on.

This year Oprah regains her position at top of the list, pushing Angelina Jolie off the top spot and into 18th place. Lady Gaga is the highest newcomer, making her way not only into the top 10, but the top 5. Another newcomer in the list is Twilight heartthrob, Robert Pattinson; he reached number 50.

Surprisingly Simon Cowell was just shy of the top 10, with $80m. Maybe 2010/2011 will be his year as he launches the American X-Factor.

1. Oprah Winfrey – $315m (£208m)
2. Beyonce Knowles – $87m (£57m)
3. James Cameron – $210m (£139m)
4. Lady Gaga – $62m (£41m)
5. Tiger Woods – $105m (£69m)
6. Britney Spears – $64m (£42m)
7. U2 – $130m (£86m)
8. Sandra Bullock – $56m (£37m)
9. Johnny Depp – $75m (£49m)
10. Madonna – $58m (£38m)
