Jennifer Lopez unseats Lady Gaga to top The Celebrity 100. While she hasn’t stormed Silicon Valley just yet, Jennifer Lopez with $52 million in earnings over the last 12 months and a massive amount of fame, lands at No. 1 on our Celebrity 100 list for the first time. Few years back her albums, like the all-Spanish Como Ama una Mujer, failed to find the broad audience she once enjoyed and her movies, like El Cantante, flopped.Then in 2010 the singer landed a judge’s chair on American Idol. The job gave her a platform to promote her music and turn her image around. After splitting from her husband, Marc Anthony, Lopez lapped up the media attention and scored lucrative endorsement deals with companies like L’Oreal and Gillette. She now has a line of clothing at Kohl’s, a top-selling fragrance and she was able to secure a nice bump—to $20 million–on her Idol salary for a second season. With 6.6 million followers on Twitter and 12 million fans on Facebook, she’s also proved a master of social media.
