Pop diva Beyonce (Beyonce) is named among the five most influential celebrities of the planet. Such rating was published recently by the well-known business magazine Forbes. The rhythm and blues star, whose participation in the successful project Destiny's Child, two solo albums and several successful roles in the movie, found herself on the fourth place of the list - after the TV presenter Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods golf star and actress Angelina Jolie.
Curiously, the singer's husband - the famous rapper Jay-Z, who owns four Grammy awards and owns the assets of several profitable enterprises - is quoted below his "second half". The musician took the seventh place in the rating of Forbes Celebrity 100 Power List.
Also in the top ten most influential personalities of the world show business included football player David Beckham, actors Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt, members of the trio of The Police and the author of the epic Harry Potter, writer Jay Kay Rowling.
