London: If the Forbes Global Celebrity List fascinates you, then just pose on a dozen magazine covers and you are sure to join the elite 100. Or at least this is how Jennifer Aniston seems to have made it.

The 'Friends' actress has topped the Forbes' annual list of world's most rich and famous according to ‘The Telegraph’. So thanks to Aniston's press coverage, she has been declared the world's most powerful celebrity, her meagre earnings of $ 35 million notwithstanding.

Aniston's biggest claim to fame has been the hugely popular teleserial, 'Friends', slated to end next year as also her movie, 'The Good Girl' that evoked a good critical response. Even then, it is surprising to see the competition she beat to get to the top of the list.

In contrast to this, Director Steven Spielberg, who took home a whopping $ 120 million, making him the highest earning celebrity in Hollywood, stood at a disappointing fourth place.

Continuing the Aniston trend has been singer Eminem at the second position. Other celebrities to have made the list are Aniston's 'Friends' co-stars, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Courtney Cox at 25th, 30th and 41st places respectively.

The list also comes as a surprise as far as the omissions are concerned.

While Aniston sits at the top of the list, husband Brad Pitt failed to find a mention. Also missing are some big names like Madonna, Eric Clapton and band U2. Another major omission is that of pop star Britney Spears, last year's numero uno.

The list also saw Britain making quite a headway in a primarily American domain with seven Britons figuring in there. Beatles singer Paul McCartney took the sixth position while Rolling Stones were voted 10th. Birmingham born Ozzy Osburne stood at the 12th place with writer J K Rowling following in at a close 15th.

However, football star David Beckham with his 56th position, clearly failed to impress the US crowd. Singer Robbie Williams and actor Simon Cowell were the remaining Britons to be voted in.

A host of European names were also seen on the list including F1 champion, Michael Schumacher, Golfer Annika Sorenstam, Tennis stars Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova. Models Milla Jovovich and Heidi Klum along with culinary writer, Alain Ducasse were also a part of the list.
