Nobody could deny that in a contemporary world where people are surrounded by television, net and even radio media day in and day out that celebrity is a powerful thing. To be one of the most powerful people in the world, however, celebrity is not . A person also has to be smart about managing funds, choosing endorsements, and maintaining a personal persona that makes people need to keep investing in their cause. who are the top three most powerful celebrities on the planet right now? According to Forbes they're Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce Knowles, James Cameron, Lady Gaga and Tiger Woods.
Oprah. Of course Oprah is a sizable celebrity, a humanitarian, a famous television persona and the backer behind productions like Precious one of the most celebrated films of the past year. With billions of dollars to her credit, Oprah is one of those individuals who can be seen across various satellite TV channels, not just her own which will be coming on air later this year. Her recipe for success has had a lot to do with being visible across all forms of media and growing and changing with the times. Shes got her trademark talk show, a journal, net site, radio station and various television specials and offshoots as well as the aforementioned film productions. All in all, that kind of power and pull makes for one powerful lady.
James Cameron. It looks like just yesterday that Cameron was making headlines for his record breaking efforts with the film Titanic. Now, hes done it again, outdoing himself in plenty of ways, with the film Avatar. Between the regular and 3-D showings, the film was more seen than any other in history as the highest grossing film in history. Now with DVD and Blu-ray sales adding to the padding in his pockets, it looks like the film is not one that will be shuffled to late night satellite TV showings anytime soon.
Beyonce. Another lady that needs no second name, but definitely has one anyway, Beyonce Knowles has created an empire based off an preliminary girl-group rise to fame with Destinys baby. Today, they is worth millions per annum and makes her funds touring, making a fashion line, a fragrance, and endorsements for everything from LOreal to Nintendo. Oh, yes, and shes married to another one of the music industrys top earners, Jay-Z. Try flipping on a satellite TV music channel (thats not CMT of course!) without seeing one of these two, and see just how challenging it can be!
Lady Gaga. World tours, wild fashion and prestigious sponsors have made Lady Gaga an instantly powerful force to be reckoned with in the celebrity world. Using the net to her favor shes gotten plenty of hits on various music videos, video clips and pics, only adding to her fame in lieu of letting the net simply detract from her dollars and royalties as plenty of musicians complain it does.
