Philippines' very own boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, who in the last year has defeated three bigtime boxers such as David Diaz, Oscar dela Hoya and Ricky Hatton, has landed on Forbes' annual "100 Most Powerful Celebrities" list.
For the period June 2008-June 2009, Manny Pacquiao is ranked 57th Most Powerful Celebrity in the world, beating other famous celebs such as Meryl Streep (#64), Daniel Radcliffe (#70), Reese Witherspoon (#71), Nicole Kidman (#74), Mr. Pinay Mail-Order-Bride Alec Baldwin (#91), Steve Carell (#93) and many more.
Aside from Pacquiao, other athletes in the "Most Powerful" list are Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant, who are both in the Top 10, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Roger Federer, David Beckham, Jeff Gordon, Derek Jeter, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Ana Ivanovic and Danica Patrick.
Dela Hoya of course is nowhere to be found on the list.
Pacquiao, who earlier has been named one of the most influential people for 2009 by TIME Magazine, is the only full-blooded Filipino to make it in the prestigious list.
According to Forbes, Manny had 40 million dollar payout in the last 12 months.
"Widely regarded at the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, Pacquiao had two blockbuster fights in the past year: He took on Oscar De La Hoya in December and Ricky Hatton in May. Pac-Man is a huge celebrity in his home of the Philippines and plans to run for political office there once his days in the ring are over. Counts Nike and beer maker San Miguel among his sponsors."
Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Celebs list was measured on power based on money and fame. The official ranking was the average result of a celeb's ranking in four areas: Pay Rank, Web Rank, Press Rank and TV/Radio Rank.
Pacquiao's pay rank is 36, web rank: 55, press rank: 59 and tv/radio rank: 80.
That means, his earnings of $40 million has been ranked 36th in the world for the last 12 months.
US President Barack Obama has topped the web, press, TV and radio rankings, but is ranked the least when it comes to his pay rank. (He's #49 over-all)
Oprah Winfrey, who was the most powerful celeb in 2007 and 2008, has bowed down to #2 and gave way to Angelina Jolie, who's now the new most powerful and influential celebrity in the world.
