cnn entertainment correspondent kareen wynter is with us this morning. year after year. of course, oprah winfrey, she's at the top of the list. according to forbes, while she may not keep the top spot for long, according to estimates, oprah made $165 million between may 2011 and may of this year. giving her an estimated net worth, this is just astonishing, of $2.7 billion. forbes says some of that money came from her now shuttered syndicated talk show and without that income, you'll probably see her drop down the list some. maybe a little bit, next year. though with her cable network and other shows she produces, shows like dr. phil, they say she'll still make the list, just not the top. britney spears comes in second with an estimated $58 million in income and taylor swift was right behind her at $57 million. so, carol, who knows. one of these young stars may topple oprah next year. but that's going to be a big drop off after oprah because more than $100 million, that's the difference between the first two spots. after a million, really, who's counting?
