Top 10 Celebrity Girls via Forbes “The Celebrity 100″
May 16, 2012 by Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
I have just received information about one of my most favorite Forbes lists – “The Celebrity 100“. I somehow missed to write my thoughts about it last year, but if you are interested you can see my opinion on this two years ago.
“The Celebrity 100″ is put together taking into consideration not only the amount of money each celebrity earned during the year, but also their web and other media influence. So, in order to be considered as the most successful, celebrities should not only earn money, but also create a buzz around their name over the year.
I was happy to see that 7 celebrity girls are in the top 10! Amazing, it leaves the room for only 3 guys on the top. Only Justin Bieber made it to the 3rd place, Tom Cruise on the 9th and Steven Spielberg on the 10th. Guess this means celebrity girls know how to earn money and make people talk about them much better than guys.
And by the way 3 of the girls from top 20 were seen in “11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011” feature here on Rich Girls Club. Which makes me really happy 
These 3 girls are: Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce Knowles.
Anyway, back to “The Celebrity 100″ list by Forbes. As we are only interested in girls and their success stories, here is the Top 10 Most Successful Celebrity Girls:
1 – Jennifer Lopez – $52 Million
2 – Oprah Winfrey – $165 Million
3 – Rihanna – $53 Million
4 – Lady Gaga – $52 Million
5 – Britney Spears – $58 Million
6 – Kim Kardashian – $18 Million
7 – Katy Perry – $45 Million
8 – Taylor Swift – $57 Million
9 – Angelina Jolie – $20 Million
10 – Beyonce Knowles – $40 Million
As we can see from this list, although Oprah Winfrey earned a whopping $165 Million this year, she is still a little behind Jennifer Lopez. Somehow I don’t think that Oprah is frustrated, at least I wouldn’t be if I were her. Funny thing is that only yesterday, I thought about Jennifer Lopez. I noticed that she appears in almost every advertisement lately: Fiat, Gillette, Kohl’s, L’Oreal, her own fragrance. She was also a face for Spanish brand Tous and even appeared in Gucci commercials with her kids. Jennifer Lopez also has a strong social media following with 6.6 million on Twitter and 12 million on Facebook. She is the star-judge on American Idol and this weekend (18.05.2012) the long awaited movie “What To Expect When You Are Expecting” is coming out with J.Lo as one of the stars. I guess that Forbes’ journalist Dorothy Pomerantz couldn’t be more precise calling Jennifer Lopez “a state-of-the-art celebrity success story.”
Although Kim Kardashian earned far less than her top 10 celebrity peers, she definitely gained massive publicity with her wedding and divorce. I guess any publicity counts, even the bad one.
I think it is very useful to look at the lists like this one, because it inspires you to try harder and dream a little bit bigger. When I see that there are girls who can succeed in this world beyond my wildest imagination with their talent, hard work, a little bit of luck and other wits, it helps me to move forward and try a little bit harder. The other reason why I love “The Celebrity 100″ list, is that these people earned their money and not inherited them. One more thing to admire and respect them for.
What about you, rich girls? Do you feel inspired by the success of other people?

11 Most Successful Celebrity Girls of 2011
January 9, 2012 by Rich Girl
Filed under Success Stories
The year 2011 was full of wonderful moments. A lot of good and bad things have happened in the world during this year, but as always we are not going to concentrate on the bad things. I have decided to remember only the good things and make the list of those celebrity girls, for whom (to my mind) this year was the most successful and unforgettable. Let’s celebrate those inspiring rich girls, who set high standards, never stop surprising us and manage to achieve great results.
So, who were the most outstanding celebrity girls of 2011? It was really hard to choose only 11 celebrity girls, because there are so much more high achievers, but rules are rules. I have selected 11 girls based on one of the following criteria: outstanding achievements, buzz, life changing experience and inspiration.
Some of the girls in this list will match all the criteria, some may only match one, but nonetheless they all have earned the right to be on the list.
1 – Kate Middleton now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
The Royal Wedding was definitely the most beautiful and romantic event of the year and Catherine was the ultimate star! I think that Kate Middleton is the most successful girls of 2011, because she managed to marry the prince! Sometimes all it takes is to marry the right guy, after that your life is a complete fairy tale.
2 – Adele
Adele experienced breathtaking rise to fame in 2011. Her single “Someone Like You” became a number one hit around the world and the album “21″ topped the charts in 18 countries including the United States. Adele’s “21″ was also last year’s biggest selling digital album.
There are a lot of things that I like about Adele: her voice, her songs and the fact that she doesn’t look like most of the stars. She is unique in every possible way and I hope she will continue make us happy or sad with her new songs. My personal favorite Adele’s song is “Rolling in the Deep” and I first heard and loved it in the “Gossip Girl” – Bar Mitzvah episode. This song suited perfectly Chuck and Blair’s romance!
3 – Victoria Beckham
It was a very successful year for Victoria Beckham both family and career wise. She welcomed her beautiful baby daughter Harper Seven into the family and won the “Designer Brand of the Year” at the “2011 British Fashion Awards”, beating Stella McCartney, Tom Ford and Burberry. I was writing about Victoria Beckham earlier this year, as she is a very inspiring rich girl.
4 – Rihanna
In 2011 Rihanna achieved a lot and this year was really amazing for her. She received Grammy Award (Dance Recording), Billboard Award (Female Artist of the Year), Brit (International Female Artist of the Year) Award, American Music Award (Favorite R&B Album), BET award (Best Female R&B Artist) in just one year! Her album “Loud” sold over 6,000,000 copies internationally, she sold more than 47 million digital tracks in 2011, which puts her ahead of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Beyonce, her “Loud” tour was the 7th top grossing world tour in 2011 and the list of Rihanna’s achievements this year can go on and on. I just listed the most inspiring ones. And don’t forget that Rihanna is only 23 years old!
5 – Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is famous for being famous and as far as I am concerned she is good at it. She spent over 10 million dollars on a wedding, ordered three amazing wedding dresses from Vera Wang only to file for divorce in just 72 days of marriage. Well, she made headlines this year and people were actually interested in all her wedding preparations, the dream wedding and the divorce drama. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011, Kim Kardashian wedding was most popular search in weddings category within the United States. Even the Royal wedding was left behind, on the 2nd place. I think that only Kim Kardashian could pull this off and although she is not a great role model she deserves a place in our top for constantly finding new ways to be in a spot light.
6 – Natalie Portman
I bet that 2011 will be the year which Natalie Portman will look back to and say: “This year was the most amazing of all!” I hope that she will have a lot more successful years in the future, but 2011 was really the year to remember. Natalie Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTA Award for her lead performance as Nina Sayers in “Black Swan”. But 2011 was also unforgettable, because Natalie gave birth to her first child, a son named Aleph Portman-Millepied.
7 – Charlene Wittstock, now Charlene, Princess of Monaco
A girl from South Africa marrying into one of Europe’s oldest royal families, isn’t it a true fairy tale? And even though the wedding was clouded by suggestions that Charlene almost became a runaway bride after she found out about Prince Albert’s private life, the event turned out to be grand and beautiful. Maybe not as hugely discussed and viewed as the Royal Wedding of Catherine and William, but still breathtaking. And I actually loved Charlene’s wedding dress better.
8 – Pippa Middleton
One girl which woke up famous this year was Pippa Middleton. After she rocked that white dress by Sarah Burton at her sister’s Royal Wedding, she skyrocketed to fame. Guys love her, girls want to copy her body parts and the way she dresses and Pippa is just enjoying her invitations to all the glamorous parties and probably is writing a book. Yes, Pippa Middleton is said to be close to signing a book deal on how to be the perfect party hostess. Well, it is definitely good to have a famous sister.
9 – Beyoncé
She is a great singer and beautiful woman, she is inspiration for all of us. This year all the fans were happy to hear the good news, that the power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z is expecting their first child. Her pregnancy announcement had broken the “most tweets per second recorded for a single event” Twitter record, receiving 8,868 tweets per second.
But somehow these amazing news were spoiled by the allegations that Beyonce is not actually pregnant and is wearing a special pillow to look pregnant, that a surrogate is doing the actual job. I still don’t know whether it is true or not. I hope she is pregnant for real, because I can see no reason why would she fake her pregnancy or turn to surrogate at this young age. Anyway, Beyonce is a star and she can do whatever she wants. I like what she said in one of her videos: “I don’t have to prove anything to anyone, I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world.”
10 – Jennifer Aniston
Everyone wants to believe in true relationships and happy mutual love. This year we had a chance to feel happy for Jennifer as it seems that she has finally found her Mr. Right! Jennifer Aniston radiated happiness all year, thank you Justin Theroux Her new haircut this year also made people talk. According to Google Zeitgeist 2011 Jennifer Aniston haircut was number 2 most popular search in haircuts category, just a little bit behind Justin Bieber’s haircut and way ahead of Emma Watson, Selena Gomez and Diana Agron haircuts.
Also, I really loved her this year in “Horrible Bosses”.
11 – Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson lost 80 lbs and turned into a completely different person. This year she was shining on different events, in amazing tight outfits and said that she now looks and feels 10 years younger. I have added Jennifer to the list of 11 most successful and inspiring rich girls of 2011 because she is not only talented singer and Academy Award winner and a mother of a gorgeous kid, but she also managed to turn her life around and become more healthy and confident. If she could do it, we all can do it! Let’s be healthier and happier in 2012!
So, here is the list of 11 rich girls who, to my mind, were having a blast in 2011. Of course some of you may disagree with this list and I would really want to hear that Please share your opinion in the comments below.
The reason I wanted to create this list in the first place, is to inspire you to make the year 2012 to remember! Set yourself high standards, targets and goals this year! You can do anything! Dream big and act on it!
Let the 2012 be the most successful of all years! And who knows, maybe at the beginning of 2013 there will be your name on my list!

10 Hairstyle Ideas for Christmas and New Year
December 13, 2010 by Rich Girl
Filed under Rich Fashion
Hello, Rich Girls. I am starting to panic as Christmas and New Year is approaching so rapidly. I have already attended a couple of pre-Christmas parties and soon I will be out of ideas how to make my hair for each and every event. I usually wear my hair straight or curly. As I have long and healthy hair, it is always seem to be enough to look sexy and beautiful. But for such major events like Christmas, New Year, my Birthday and weddings I always prefer to do something extra.
I have spent some time browsing the Internet for cool hairstyle ideas I could use this Christmas and New Years. Yes, I know that I can go to my hairstylist and he will make me something stylish and cool, but I prefer to be prepared. So, you are always welcome to see what 10 hairstyles I have selected for this Holiday season.
By the way, I didn’t expect it to be so hard to search for a hairstyle. There are so many sites out there specializing on hairstyles, but it seems like they all have the same pictures and lots of advertising. So, I ended up browsing celebrity hairstyles on the sheknows.com site and also picked some ideas on your-hairstyles.com.
Also, for more hairstyle ideas as well as tutorials, check out my new 11 Christmas Party Hairstyles post, which I just created.
My first pick for Christmas is braided hairstyle. It seems that braids are the major trend at the moment and a lot of celebrities wear braided hairdos for different events.
My second choice is chignon hairstyles, they seem always look very elegant and chic. I really loved Amanda Seyfried, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood curly chignon hairdos.
Next on my list are curly hairstyles for long hair. The best examples I really loved are long and elegant hairstyle by Beyonce and Julianne Hough, as well as effortless yet cute looking hair by Eva Longoria.
And the last cool thing I like is hair accessories. You can choose any hairstyle you like and add something sparkling and cute to make you stand out of the crowd and make your hairstyle unique and unforgettable. Really good examples to my mind and taste are hairstyles and accessories by Alicia Keys, Zooey Deschanel and Pink.
So, here are my favorite hairstyles for this Holiday season. I hope you could find something to inspire you, if not, you can always turn to your hairdresser and together you can come up with the most flattering hairstyle just for you!
Have a great Holiday Season everyone!!

I like to check Forbes lists occasionally and this time I really loved their “The Celebrity 100″. You will be pleased to know that there are 6 girls among the top 10 powerful celebrities!
On the first place is Oprah Winfrey! I really admire this woman, she manages to keep high position in the celebrity tops through years (although last year the first place was taken by Angelina Jolie). She is great achiever!

Second place is taken by Beyonce Knowles. She is not only making money on her music (according to Forbes, her 90-plus date global tour grossed more than $85 million), but she also has her House of Dereon fashion line, released her first fragrance, Heat, earlier this year and has a lot of other projects.

On the third place is James Cameron thanks to his amazing job with Avatar. I know that a lot of people watched this movie a couple of times, I only could make it once, but I loved it.
Lady Gaga – is the sensation! That’s why I am not surprised that she in on the 4th place in the list! Girls, make something extraordinary, unique, don’t be afraid of what people will think about you, and you will end up rich and famous, just like Lady Gaga!

Tiger Woods – well, he is on the 5th place, but I don’t want to talk a lot about him. Cheating men are pathetic!
Britney Spears, my love, is on the 6th place and I am so happy that she is back. We all have our ups and downs, but something we can learn from Britney is how to win everything back!

U2 is on the 7th place. I am sorry U2 fans, but I know a little about this band. All I know is that they have breathtaking shows and my friends who saw them perform live were amazed! No wonder that each tour stop brings U2 $10 million in gross ticket sales. This is the highest-earning band on the planet, according to Forbes.
Sandra Bullock is the highest-earning actress thanks to the latest two hit movies (The Proposal and The Blind Side). She also got an Oscar win this year! The only downside is the divorce with the cheating husband. Why sometimes it seems that you can’t have it all?! It’s not fare!

Johnny Depp is on the 9th place thanks to his work in Alice in Wonderland. According to Forbes, the Disney film has grossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office, making Depp the only actor to headline two $1 billion films.
Madonna is closing the top 10 of “The Celebrity 100″ list. According to Forbes, the 52-year-old singer had the fourth highest-grossing tour of 2009, bringing in $6 million a night and $138 million overall. Even I attended her “Sticky and Sweet Tour” show last August in Talinn, Estonia – it was amazing! Madonna will always remain my top favorite artist, no matter what she does, no matter what movies she is filming! I love her for the album Something to Remember! I know all the songs from this album by heart She is super power rich girl!
