Forbes released their annual list of the most powerful celebrities and Houston-native Beyonce Knowles won the top spot.

This impressive climb up the rankings came at the expense of long-time list topper, Oprah. The talk show host actually fell to the number four spot behind LeBron James, the NBA player who recently opted out of his contract and Dr. Dre who made an impressive leap from number 63 on the list last year to number three this year.

To compile the list of powerful celebs, Forbes looks at estimated earnings over the previous 12 months, the number of times each celebrity is mentioned in the media and a "StarCount," which measures the celebrity's power on social media such as Twitter and Facebook. This year Forbes also took into consideration how much each celebrity influences the entertainment industry and culture in general.

Other powerful celebrities with Texas connections to make the list include life-long Texan Matthew McConaughey (#52), Dr. Phil McGraw (#83) who grew up in North Texas, Kevin Durant (#33) who played basketball for University of Texas, Sandra Bullock (#36) a former resident of Austin and Glenn Beck (#39) who based his business outside of Dallas.
