Whenever I mention to others about my bible they would always give me that look which came with the next sentence, "you go church meh?" I'm not going to justify my religious beliefs but I do have to justify that when I say bible I'm actually referring to my Glamour magazine!

Ever since I picked up my first miniature size Glamour magazine 2 months back, it has became the magazine of my choice – UK edition that is.

A bible is an object of belief that lies close to your heart. And that is why Glamour is my bible, it lies close to my heart. No offense whatsoever.

In my most recent visit to Glamour.com, it seems the topic of "Who's loaded?" is up on highlights once again!

Glamour reveals the top 40 highest earning women in showbiz but since I'm in a shortage of time, I'll just be sharing with you the top 10.

1. Oprah Winfrey, the queen of American media, has raked up a self-made fortune of $1.3bn over the years. She's one of Hollywood's most generous charity givers and donates to needy women and children via her personal charity, The Oprah Winfrey Foundation.

2. JK Rowling's writing magic has made her a $1bn fortune and the world's richest author. Harry Potter merchandise, of which she gets a cut, made $15bn last year.

3. Madonna is worth $325m thanks to countless image re-inventions and an astute business sense. While her records don't sell like they used to, the Material Girl's gigs still sell-out when she tours worldwide.

4. Celine Dion has a cool $250m to her name. A certain single from Titanic has ensured that the Canadian singer's riches (and heart) will go on and on.

5. Over 160m albums sold worldwide and $225m in the bank, Mariah Carey revived her career in 2005 (after dominating the '90s), with America's biggest hit of the year, "We Belong Together."

6. With a $150m fortune, Janet Jackson has sold over 50 million records, toured all over the world, and even flashed a boob on national telly (sorry Jan – we can't forget that!).

7. Jennifer Aniston made her millions ($110m to be exact) playing Rachel Green in Friends, with the final episodes reportedly making the stars $1m a piece per show.

8. She used to have a little; now she has a lot… Jennifer Lopez is worth upwards of $100m, thanks to her media powerhouse status in music and films (and for having a rather famous behind).

9. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have gone from child stars to entrepreneurs, to fashion icons, and earned $100m along the way. Their fashion and lifestyle collections can be found across America and Europe.

10. From teen sensation to tabloid queen (and all the haircuts in between), Britney Spears has been through the celebrity mill - and come out $100m richer on the other side.

I think I'll be wearing my green dress today. I feel a pinch of envy.
