Forbes Magazine has always listed the world's richest people. Some, however, have not only the fortune, but also the fame. It is interesting to note that the list of the world's richest celebrities is topped by the very dynamic Apple CEO, Steve Jobs. Here's the list:

10. JK Rowling - book author worth US$ 1 billion.
9. Oprah Winfrey - TV host worth US$ 1.5 billion.
8. Mark Cuban - HD net owner worth US$ 2.3 billion.
7. Donald Trump - real estate mogul worth US$ 2.9 billion.
6. Steven Spielberg - film maker worth US$ 3 billion.
5. George Lucas - Star Wars mastermind worth US$ 3.6 billion.
4. Richard Branson - entreprenuer worth US$ 3.8 billion.
3. David Geffen - movie mogul worth US$ 4.7 billion.
2. Michael Bloomberg - financial information system founder worth US$ 5.5 billion.

1. Steve Jobs, Apple CEO worth US$ 5.7 billion. - This quirky, individualistic and dynamic former hippie has made waves in the computer industry with his company Apple. He helped popularize the concept of the personal computer in the late '70s. This pop-culture icon is also credited for the iPod, which gave a hipper reputation to computers and MP3 players. Recently, Steve's been gaining attention with his anti-DRM statements and his yet-to-be released iPhone.

Maybe it's too soon, maybe it's too late, but we surmise that everyone's gearing themselves up to the new era of downloadable content. The iPod suddenly feels as valuable as a lifejacket in the middle of the sea. Even George Lucas has felt this, and we don't wonder anymore why he suddenly decides to focus on creating TV and downloadable "on-demand" programming. It's all about the money -- and today, according to Lucas, online is where the money is.

Put simply, a budget of US$ 200 million on a traditional film can make 120 hours worth of downloadable movie content, instead of 50 to 60 two hour movies. And it's all going to be more profitable to sell on a pay-per-view basis, instead of the financially risky silver screen. This, coming from the guy who gave us the million-dollar box-office hits such as the epic "Star Wars" movies and "Indiana Jones" series, just to name a few.

A meeting with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter should hint us of what's to come. With "Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Vol.1 and 2" already available on iTunes, only time will tell when finally we'd be seeing less movies in the theaters and more on our mini-screens. And that's not too far in the future, we think.
