Oprah Winfrey has again topped the Forbes list of highest-paid celebrities.
According to Forbes release, between May 2011 and May 2012, the media titan earned about $165 million. Though her long-running talk show may be over, Oprah still has interests in "Dr. Phil, "Rachel Ray," and "The Dr. Oz Show" as well as her magazine and satellite radio station..
This will be the fourth consecutive time the mononymous mogul has topped the list. Nipping at her heels, however, is director Michael Bay, who earned about $160 million.
The third place celeb is no surprise to the list. Steven Spielberg made an estimated $130 million between May 2011 and May 2012. Most of that money came from residuals from his classic films; a factor likely to remain in play for years to come.
Rounding out the top ten in order were producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Rapper Dr. Dre, producer Tyler Perry, shock jock Howard Stern, author James Patterson, filmmaker George Lucas, and British music producer Simon Cowell.
