Forbes magazine has released its Celebrity 100 list of the most powerful celebrities and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is tops by a lot.

Number-three on the list is singer Katy Perry who recorded earnings of $135 million, followed by boy band One Direction at number-four and Howard Stern at number-five.

Other celebrities rounding out the top 10 include Garth Brooks and number-six, followed by author James Patterson at number-seven, Robert Downey Jr. and Taylor Swift tied at number-eight, and soccer starCristiano Ronaldo at number-10.
