Cruise Tops Forbes Celebrity 100 List


Tom Cruise has topped the annual Forbes magazine Celebrity 100 list. Angelina Jolie is the cover girl for the much-anticipated publication, which hits newsstands today - but it's Cruise's movie successes and his romance with Katie Holmes that propels him to the top, with an estimated $67 million fortune.

It is the second time the Mission: Impossible actor has topped the list, but his reappearance in number one spot came as a surprise in light of recent bad press over his controversial Scientology beliefs and exaggerated display of love for Holmes in the infamous Oprah Winfrey couch-jumping exhibition.
