Forbes released their annual Celebrity 100 list earlier this week, and it's reason enough for Rihanna's frequent exhaustion spells. The "Where Have You Been" singer clocked in at No. 4, three spots behind the No. 1 seeded Jennifer Lopez.

Beyonce -- the current "Most Beautiful Woman" -- is considered to be the 16th most powerful celebrity, behind Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Dr. Dre led the way for rappers on the list, landing at No. 26, ahead of Jay-Z (No. 38), Diddy (No. 42), Kanye West (No. 45) and Lil Wayne (No. 69).

Unlike other Forbes lists -- i.e. "400 Richest Americans and World's Billionaires" -- that strictly tally net worth and money, the Celeb 100 measures earnings and the not-so tangible nor calculator-friendly property that is fame.
