Shocked to see that Paul McCartney isn’t on this list. No way he doesn’t have more money and fame than any of these people.

Nicole Kidman has had success since The Others. she was a part of Happy Feet. She got good reviews for her work in that, the film made a lot of money and won an Oscar. Cold Mountain was a great movie for her also and got Oscar nominations. It isn’t all about money. They look at a lot of diffent things when they make up this list. She worked a lot last year and probably made a good amount of money. The movies just haven’t come out yet.

Kate Moss should definetely be HIGHER THAN
BON JOVI!!!!!!!!

TABLOIDS LIE @ 06/15/2007 at 2:00 pm

I don’t like Kidman. She is so painfully anemic as a person and as an actress. Plus, she looks so stuffy and fake.

DaLynchMob @ 06/15/2007 at 2:29 pm

madonna at number three? really? her career has seen much better days

Tabloids lie we are here talking about this list not about Kidman.for me you’re just jealous of her fortune, talent and beauty.

Lilly putty @ 06/15/2007 at 3:01 pm

some positions are so fake.
i don’t understand Hayden Panettiere,Reese Witherspoon,Hilary Duff, Vince Vaughn…and other are making here.
i totally agree with Rolling Stones,Tom Hanks,Nicole Kidman, George Clooney,Angelina Jolie,Gisele Bundchen presence.All are talentd, have huge success, have a lot of money….

**** this list,we still know Jen is worth more than Brad & Jolie ***** combined !

Why didn’t Rosie O’Donnell make the cut?

HYVÄ KIMI! GO KIMI!

congrats to all the other people,but LARRY THE CABLE GUY?!
wow.

Wow… to poster “malou”, get a life. People are allowed to say what they want about an actor/actress and it’s DISTRACTING TO POST LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME. Get an IQ first hon, then come back and *****.

Go Johnny Depp, Nicole Kidman, and George Clooney!

So deserved.

Very happy for Roger Federer…I can’t believe he earned more than Clooney!! That’s shocking!!

Rosie O’Donnel’s salary and influence happened mostly this year. She’ll probably make the list next year.

It’s nice a black woman over 50 being named the world’s richest celebrity. Even if you don’t like Oprah, she should be a huge inspiration to everyone.

SPEECHLESS @ 06/15/2007 at 5:14 pm

People are discussing people, not only the list.

#83
WHY EXACTLY would that be??!!
Please explain WHAT EXACTLY do you like about Maniston!! Cannot figure that out.
A homely loser of the century, liar and manipulator ( that’s why she’s O.N.L.Y. in the tabloids )has been JOBLESS (jobless!) for years. Wake up.
Yeah, **** the list. Maniston and Hilton shouldn’t be there.

libraesque @ 06/15/2007 at 6:21 pm

I think it’s f-ing HILARIOUS that Elton John is above cruise

No olsen twins?

Madonna is the best! My God, where is the Jodie Foster in the list? Nonsense!

Danica Patrick? Are they kidding? Has she even won a race yet? didnt think so.

Where’s Michael Jackson? He Just Bought Viacom’s Music Catalogue Last Month Earning Him $200 Million & Earning Sony $250 Million. What The Hell? lol

YES!!! MADONNA is still THE #1 female singer, to influence many generations of singers to come…

Angelina is, and always will be, an exceptionally ugly cow. I’mm all for her adopting mass children and raisind awareness of poverty and disaster and all, good on her, truly, but damn, ***** is fugly.

Also, I’ve never even heard of most of the people on that list.

paris hilton @ 06/15/2007 at 11:13 pm

where is christina…she needs to be up there…**** oprah

Way to go Madonna! LOVE her!
