Vanity Fair publishes an annual list of the “New Establishment,” which is a list of “the top 100 Information Age powers.” Take that as you will. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were the highest-ranked celebs at #8.
Here’s the top 10:
- Lloyd Blankfein (Goldman Sachs)
- Steve Jobs (Apple)
- Jeff Bezos (Amazon)
- Warren Buffet (Berkshire Hathaway)
- Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey Brin (Google)
- Larry Fink (BlackRock)
- Rupert Murdoch (News Corp.)
- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (actors, activists)
- Jamie Dimon (J.P. Morgan Chase)
- Bernard Arnault (LVMH)
Would you put Brad and Angelina on par with these corporate giants? On one hand, it seems like comparing apples and oranges: on the other hand, fame does seem to offer a certain amount of influence.

its seems like all of the top 10 are from companies and then there’s angelina and brad as actors……ok….
Oh come on. Seriously! They are actors who have big egos just like all of Hollywood. The only difference is they are really famous, so everything they do is magnified and exaggerated.
Ahhh
I love these 2………separately & 2gether!!
Total power couple. They should make ANY influential list as far as i’m concerned. Well deserved. I love this couple and all they do! All the haters must be going nuts right about now. Too bad, so sad…
No one is going nuts silly. No one really cares that much except for the people who are obsessed. It’s whatever, everyone doesn’t think their shit smells like roses, that’s all.
Really?? This is a serious question- what have they influenced? Are people donating a lot more money because of them? I don’t understand what they have influenced and changed. I don’t know many people out in the real world who look to them and make decisions based on what they say.
Don’t care about the silly list. But does anyone else think Ange looks different these days???? She looks less beautiful, maybe its because she’s lost so much weight?
Fame definitely offers influence, in all sorts of things – and they have a ton of star power behind them. I can see why they’re on the list.
his mouth is almost a “perfect” P*SSY now?(for f*ggots)
LOVE THEM!!!!
shouldn’t a power couple be well known, like, worldwide? in my country they are just actors (famous from not so recent movies) and noone cares or knows how much money they spent on their own hum. projects.
but steve of apple/mac, everybody knows.
they aren’t even real actors, just movie stars. let’s see them on stage, memorizing their texts&actions for an 2 1/2 hour play and let’s talk again.
They rule!!!!!
They have donated money. And Angie adopts children. On the other hand, Brad was going to rebuild New Orleans and built one house. So, they’ve done some good, but they also spend an insane amount of money on themselves.
Well Anonymous 7:44 they influenced you to click in and post raising making them have the highest post count across the Internet on ever blog. I don’t care where their name comes up a certain bitter-not moving on person and their fan’s click in and post so yeah this power couple rule.
What an awesome couple!
Idiot! Go night night child. Obviously, you are so immature, you can’t answer my question with intelligence or without calling me names. They are entertaining, I’ll give you that, but I don’t take them that serious and I stand by what I asked. If people are adopting more kids because of them or giving more money, then good, but I doubt it. People are interested in their personal lives more than anything. Sorry I pissed you off by insulting your family, crazy.
despite what we may think, SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!!
I’ve always liked Brad, and I have never liked Angie. I think she is dirty and I just can’t get over the whole kissing her brother and marriage to Billy Bob, blood around their neck thing. And something tells me that you shouldn’t mess with her, she looks like the type that would go crazy! If Brad ever cheated on her, I totally think she would physically hurt him..lol!
Its called bringing awareness num nuts. Plenty are influenced by them, just look at all the comments to this thread already! Betcha people forgot about Katrina (unfortunately), til’ Brad started building homes. I didnt know it was World Refugee day back when, until Angelina did a PSA. The list goes on…Quit the hate!
LOL! You must be one of the “obsessed”. Otherwise why would you waste your time commenting on HER site. Its okay, just admit it…
What are you talking about and what country are you from? You’re all over the place. You spent some time posting that mess, you must have some admiration for them…Let me guess, Brad and Angie arent well known, but all those other people on the list are? Huh? With an exception of a few, Steve Jobs included, none of them have been heard of and you know it. Last i heard they’re very well liked around the world! Especially in other countries. Nice try.
They are well known world wide! What planet, er, country are you from? You know as well as i do, most of the names on that list, except a few, you’ve never heard of. The Jolie-Pitts are the biggest names on that list, no matter what country youre from, whether you like them or not. Nice try though.
Jolie is so hot its distracting! Love this influential, power couple!
Huh? What planet, er, country are you from? Last i heard they are well known AND well liked worldwide, especially over seas! Can’t get anymore well known than Brangelina! Nice try.
Love them! They’re number one in my book. I agree, Angelina always looks stunning, the woman never takes a bad pic. This couple is fierce!
Anonymous Sep 6, 2009 @ 07:39 pm- Okay, so you say people forgot about New Orleans until Brad and you didn’t know it was Refugee Day until Angelina told you it was…hmm, you don’t sound like you get out much and never go outside of imnotobessesed.com if you can’t find things on your own and have to wait for your “power couple” to tell you. How low have we become that we look up to actors who are rich and out of touch with reality rather than real heroes just because they are glamorous and full of drama. I have to say I look to them to entertain me in movies and gossip blogs but that’s where it ends.

The tribute is from Vanity Fair, a magazine whose name personifies what it stands for. The only interest people have in these two are the circus life atmosphere of their lives. Angelina is a nasty piece of work giving away money and speaking out for refugees does take away the vile that is associated with this b i t c .

All you have to see is the state of NO to know people have forgotten. Not much help going on there. You can’t tell me everyone should know when World Refugee Day was, i’m sure you didnt. Thats why they do PSA’s, to remind people. It has nothing to do with getting out or being on gossip blogs (which you are guilty of to my friend). thats silly. How else would some people know if they’re not reminded? Plenty of smart educated people (myself included) don’t necessarily know that, its not a Holiday. I think the poster was giving examples, which are true. Its you that took it personally and literally. I guess they should stop doing PSA’s and spreading awareness because YOU assume everyone should already know everything? I don’t think so. Its not about waiting for them to tell us, its just a little reminder, and when celebs of their calibur speak, people tend to listen. Nothing wrong with that. Don’t take it so serious, ease up…
Sounds as if Jolie slept with your husband and killed your dog. Why so angry? I beg to differ. Jolie has more than made up for her past mistakes or misjudgements 10 fold. Have you made mistakes when you were younger or even yesterday? What have you done to amend your self worth? With the bitterness you’ve showed, my guess is nothing. You sound far from perfect. Just worry about you and stop carrying all that anger for someone you don’t know. I’ll take the “scum” (lol) on this planet over you any day of the week. Team Jolie!
Oh God here we go.
best couple.
nonsense.
The greatest couple ever.
BRAD AND ANGIE ARE THE REAL DEAL .

Hmmmm….I consider myself pretty well educated, but I read that “Top 10″ list and it made no sense to me. It reads like a “Who’s Who” of the rich, famous, and richer..with some nice humanitarian accomplishments thrown around. Ehhh. ***annie***
No one deserve in hollywood other than this two may operha.
