Shocker: Gaga pips Oprah with 90 million!
Pop star Lady Gaga has been named the Most Powerful Entertainer in the world by Forbes, ahead of TV mogul Oprah Winfrey. The 25-year-old singer, who earned more than $91 million over the past year, topped the annual list by the magazine, which awarded her the accolade in part due to her large online following. Here's a look at the top ten celebs who made it to the list…

Oprah Winfrey has ceded her number one position as the World's Most Powerful Celebrity to Lady Gaga, despite earning roughly three times as much, in the Forbes annual list of the 100 Most Powerful Celebrities. Gaga moved up from No. 4 on the list partly due to her 32 million Facebook fans and 10 million Twitter followers. In wealth comparison, Forbes estimated Gaga's earnings in the last year at $90 million, compared to Oprah's mighty $290 million.
