Since we know that no one man should have all the power, Forbes spread the wealth and gave us their top ten most powerful this year.
They included everyone from the meek to the mean, with surprises like Taylor Swift and former Idol judge Simon Cowell gracing the list.
The lucky ten is almost perfect, but they left out few of GlobalGrind’s own power holders. A list without at least one Kardashian just doesn’t seem right.
Consider our shuffle an unofficial update, but we could not decrown Queen Lady Gaga, as she proudly tops their list and ours.
Check out the GlobalGrind version of the most powerful that’s out there.
Lady Gaga, who racked up $90 million over the past 12 months according to Forbes, is taking her multiple personalities and looks straight to the bank.

2. Michelle Obama: Ever since she did the dougie to promote healthier living, Michelle is topping everyone’s list. A First Lady with Cali Swag tendencies deserves the runner-up slot.

3. Beyonce: She runs the world and our list and even though her lucky number is four, she is our lucky number three.

4. Oprah: We had to give other celebs a chance to make millions of dollars, but Oprah still gets a spot on our list. Over the past 12 months, she made an incredible $290 million and continues to influence an entire generation.

5. Justin Bieber: Keeping the balance, we put the mid-height Justin Bieber right in the middle of this group of money makers. Too young to even know what a million dollars can do, he’s got money to blow before he can even vote, all while harmonizing to ladies of all age.

6. LeBron James: The self-proclaimed King, LeBron James, is practically made of money as he’s made a name for himself on his basketball empire. Pair that with his charisma and loads of charity work and you’ve got one powerful game!

7. The Kardashian Ladies: Everywhere these ladies go, they’ve got their phone in one hand and their product in another. We can’t save this spot for just one, so we put all four of the Kardashians at number 7, including mega momager Kris Jenner. The number won’t look familiar to them, as their family size doubles that.

8. The Smiths: Another family that’s worthy of a powerful title is Will, Jada, Willow and Jaden. With everything they touch turning gold, the family has made a name for themselves being in the industry for over 20 years doing it their way.

9. Chris Brown: Whether he’s blond or brunette, the fans are color blind when it comes to Chris Brown. His comeback is one for the books and his power with Team Breezy is undeniable.

10. Tiger Woods: Rounding out the list is another comeback king, Tiger Woods. Despite infidelity drama, a record number of mistresses coming out of the woodwork and a knee injury potentially keeping him out of the an upcoming tournament, Woods has managed to make the Forbes list bringing in $75 million.
