The list isn't based only on money. Fame, including the star's presence on social media, is also considered. Oprah Winfrey came in second followed by Justin Bieber.
Meanwhile ... several outlets are reporting that J. Lo is leaving the show that helped revitalize her career. A source tells Us Weekly that Lopez has "too much going on right now" and that her return to American Idol is unlikely. Sources for E! concur, telling that gossip site she'll be done after next week's season ends because she is “too busy.”
The rumor coincides with what J.Lo said to ELLEN DeGENERES in an interview this week. “I don't know if I can go for a third year,” she said. “I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down. Which was nice the first year with the babies being [young], but now they're more mobile. They're about to go to school. I just don't know. I don't know."
On a related note ... check out J.Lo's bikini pics in the online edition of "Vogue". Not too shabby for someone who'll be 43 in July, huh?

WAIT, WHAT??? 'THE BACHELORETTE' IS BOGUS???!!!: It’s no surprise to hear nothing’s real about reality shows, and that’s allegedly true for 'The Bachelorette'.
According to The National Enquirer, the men vying for Emily Maynard’s affection have all been recruited by show producers because they make good TV, not because any of them are actually interested in Emily. For instance, a close relative of contestant Kalon McMahon, who made quite an entrance Monday by arriving via helicopter, claims Kalon has no intention of marrying Emily and is still dating other women.
In addition, an insider says producers picked race car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr. because Emily’s former fiancé, and father of her daughter, was a race car driver who died in a plane crash while she was pregnant. “Producers hoped that would upset Emily, get her to cry and stoke up the drama,” says one insider. “They don’t care about her feelings – they care only about ratings.”
