Forbes: Pacquiao among world’s
100 most powerful celebrities
Boxing superstar Emmanuel
“Manny” Pacquiao has remained
among the world’s 100 most powerful
celebrities, joining the likes of Oprah
Winfrey, Justin Bieber, and LeBron
James, according to Forbes 14th
annual Celebrity 100 list.
But the re-elected Saranggani
representative’s 78th ranking is a big
slide from his 33rd place in 2012.
Oprah Winfrey, meanwhile,
regains her No. 1 spot after placing
second for two consecutive years.
Lady Gaga is No. 2.
Pacquiao, who suffered a brutal
one-punch knockout loss to Juan
Manuel Marquez on December 8, is
ahead of internationally-renowned
author J.K. Rowling of the Harry
Potter series (82nd) and fellow boxer
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (88th).
He trails behind film director and
writer Christopher Nolan (76th), who
directed The Dark Knight trilogy and
Inception, author Stephen King
(75th), and actress Gwyneth Paltrow
(71st), who starred in the Iron Man
movies series.
In terms of money, Pacquiao
ranks 57th for his $34 million
estimated total gross income from
June 1 last year up to this year. He is
tied at 57 with Mayweather.
In terms of media exposure,
Pacquiao places 82nd in TV/Radio
rank and 81st in Press ranking. He
trails behind host Ryan Seacrest at 71
and actress Sandra Bullock at 75 in
the Press ranking.
Pacquiao is tied at 60 with singer
Rihanna, champion runner Usain Bolt,
and actor Charlie Sheen in the
Marketability rankings. The
marketability rank “is a measure of
how desirable each celebrity is to
marketers,” according to Forbes.
In terms of the Social ranking,
Pacquiao (56th) ranks higher than
business mogul Donal Trump (59th),
musician Jay-Z (66th), and actor
Robert Downey Jr. who starred in the
Iron Man movie series.
“Each star’s number [in the social
ranking] is a reflection of how popular
he or she is on the Internet,” Forbes
said.
Oprah, the queen of
entertainment, is back on top after
placing second for two consecutive
years. Lady Gaga (No. 2), with her
massive social media presence,
moved up from the fifth spot last year,
followed by director Steven Spielberg
(No. 3) and Beyoncé (No. 4).
Madonna (No. 5) is a returnee to the
list, rounding out the top five.
Musicians dominate the Top Ten
in 2013. Country superstar Toby Keith
(No. 43), featured on the cover
(Cowboy Capitalist, p. 74) has some
of the most loyal fans in music, and
owns enough product extensions to
make sure they’re also some of the
most lucrative.
Notable newcomers to the 2013
list include Hugh Jackman (No. 11);
Channing Tatum (No. 23); Jennifer
Lawrence (No. 49); Emma Stone (No.
84); Mila Kunis (No. 89) and Amy
Poehler (No. 92). Athletes Usain Bolt

Roberts, Reese Witherspoon and
Elton John.
