Lady Gaga on Forbes Most Powerful Women List

Forbes

Lady Gaga wears the crown of FORBES 2011 Most Powerful Celebrity, and it's a title she's made good on both in dollar signs and massive constituency. She raked in $90 over the past year. In July, Gaga (born Stefanie Germanotta) became the first Twitter user to reach 12 million followers, trumping teen dream Justin Bieber and President Obama. Her Facebook page has 36 million fans. Beyonce has called her "the most talented pop star." In the past three months she has begun promotional deals with Google, Zynga and Gilt and is a not-so-silent financial backer in Backplane, a Silicon Valley start-up founded by her longtime manager Troy Carter. The sales of Gaga-endorsed MAC's VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipgloss have raised more than $202 million to fight HIV and AIDS.
