The "Halo" singer tops this year's Forbes Celebrity 100 list, dethroning five-time most influential celebrity Oprah Winfrey in the list released Monday.

According to Forbes magazine, Queen B pulled an estimated US$115 million from June 2013 to June 2014 with the release of her latest album, a string of lucrative entrepreneurial pursuits, and a massive 95-show tour which earned her US$2.4 million per stop.

"Beyoncé was so far ahead of anybody from the first time we looked at numbers," said Forbes' bureau chief Dorothy Pomerantz.

"Not only did she earn a ton of money, but she's taken her fame to the next level," said Pomerantz who attributed the "Bootylicious" belter's success to her great use of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

The Queen clinched her right to reign supreme with the release of her self-titled album late last year. Billed as a visual album, "Beyoncé" comes with 14 music videos accompanying each song and hit iTunes with very little publicity.

Forbes' annual list ranks stars across the music, TV, film, modeling, sports and publishing industries according to their wealth and fame. Influence in social media is also factored in.

Rounding up the top five are NBA top player Lebron James, music mogul Dr. Dre, last year's no. 1 Oprah Winfrey and talk show host Ellen Degeneres.

Husband Jay Z who has US$60 million annual earnings to his name came in at no. 6.

The couple has recently launched their first world tour, which according to Forbes will easily make the pair the most powerful celebrity couple in the world.
