She hasn’t released new music in over two years and she had to cancel her tour but that hasn’t prevented Lady Gaga from retaining her position as one of the most popular public figures on the planet. In fact, according to the Forbes Celebrity 100 list, she is the most powerful musician in the world.
Gaga’s Born This Way Ball Tour grossed north of $168 million before being cut short in January after she was seriously injured. Additionally, with 38 million Twitter followers, 58 million Facebook fans and several major business moves, the Pop megastar earned over $80 million during the last 12 months.
The Forbes Celebrity 100 incorporates celebrity earnings, media impact, Internet presence and their standing with American consumers. A marketability score (1-100), based on opinion polling about 46 different attributes for 6,600 different celebrities, was introduced this year to measure impact across 11 social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google +.
