In this edition of Peter Lavelle's CrossTalk, he asks his guests about Forbes list of the "most powerful" in the world. One of the editors at Forbes who contributed to the list is on the program.
Every year Forbes magazine compiles a list of the world's most powerful people. The rankings are based on financial resources, individual controls, and amount of influence on world events. Topping the list this year is Hu Jintao, president of the People's Republic of China. Followed by President Obama, the King of Saudi Arabia, and Vladimir Putin in respective order. Pope Benedict XVI landed in fifth place, based largely on his influence of the world's 1.1 billion Catholics. He moved up the list from number eleven in last years ranking.

The Forbes magazine pointed out that the end of the war and the IMF loan restored investors' confidence. 'The Sri Lankan stock market gained over 100% in 2009, one of the best performing markets in the world. Among other resons cited are the official foreign reserves improved to more than $5 billion by November 2009, providing over 6 months of imports cover'.

Forbes just released their list of the Top Earning Talking Heads for 2010. No surprise that talk show host and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey tops the list of 13 people, having earned 315 Million dollars between June 2009 and June 2010. According to Forbes, most of her fortune comes from ventures other than her television show, like the Oprah Magazine, website, radio channel, and Harpo Production Company. Oprah may be number one, but she is one of only 3 women on the list of 13 Top Earners. The other women on the list are Ellen DeGeneres and Judge Judy. Ryan Seacrest, who reportedly earned 51 Million this year, is the youngest member of this elite club, at only 35 years old. The next person closest in age to Seacrest is Glenn Beck, age 46 who pulled in 35 million dollars.

Again, you might be thinking that some of these peeps deserve to be in the Top 10 or something, but this is a list that includes ALL celebrities, people like Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kobe Bryant, Simon Cowell, Johnny Depp and more.

Facebook.com - Become a Fan! Twitter.com - Follow Us! One Twilight character makes it onto a very prestigious list. Get the details right now. Hey ClevverTV peeps. I'm your host Dana Ward at our headquarters talking about one Twilight character who made the Forbes Fictional Wealthiest List. The lucky guy is Carlisle Cullen, who according to the business, has a net worth of 34.1-billion dollars amassed over 370 years. Specifically, Forbes lists a few things as essential to Carlisle's global wealth: he's earned a doctor's salary for 340 years without food or health insurance payments, his daughter AKA financial advisor got him to invest early in top stocks like Wal-Mart and Apple as well as used her future-seeking abilities to warn him about the recession. Interestingly, Forbes really THINKS about this list of the 15 richest fictional people because they realized the low-profile keeping Carlisle and the Cullens never paid taxes and therefore owe a whole lotta money to the government. Even so, he's still at the top of the list.

Forbes Magazine named drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — a fugitive reputed to be hiding in the mountains of northern Mexico — to its list of the 67 "World's Most Powerful People" on Wednesday. At No. 41 on the list, Guzman is ahead of Oprah Winfrey and presidents like France's Nicolas Sarkozy and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. Forbes noted Guzman's profession as "drug trafficker" on the list published Wednesday on its Web site. "This ranking is intended to be the beginning of a conversation, not the final word,""Do despicable criminals like billionaire Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman ... belong on this list at all?"Last March, Mexican officials decried Forbes' decision to include Guzman on its list of the world's billionaires, saying that wrongly compared him to legitimate businessmen. At the time, Forbes' estimated Guzman's fortune at $1 billion. The office of the presidency said it had no immediate reaction to his inclusion on Wednesday's list.
