Oprah Winfrey Tops Forbes List

Posted at 07/16/2009 by 1 Comment

Forbes Woman has come up with a new list ranking the Most Influential Women in Media.  Oprah Winfrey tops the list this year. Forbes.com explains why:

Winfrey pocketed $275 million last year, far more than any other woman on the list. Ellen DeGeneres comes in a distant second in earnings with $35 million; Tyra Banks third with $30 million.

But earning power alone does not determine who’s on the list or her position. The Most Influential Women in Media were ranked in four categories determining their influence: audience, press mentions, earnings and social media outreach (followers on Twitter and friends on Facebook).

After Winfrey, the top five is rounded out by Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, Ellen DeGeneres and Tyra Banks.
