There was no room though for chef Gordon Ramsay and Harry Potter writer JK Rowling, both of whom dropped off the list.
The Forbes celebrity power index is determined by annual earnings and media visibility.
Oprah Winfrey was named top earner, taking home 275 million dollars (£168 million), but was beaten to the top by Angelina who despite earning less than a 10th of Oprah's wage was named most powerful celebrity due to her near omnipresence in the pages of tabloids and celebrity magazine.
