Jimmy Buffet being popular with drunk college girls is debatable. Drunk 50 year old women who THINK they're college girls, maybe.

Haha.... well... it was definitely true when I was in college. I guess those girls are mostly in their 30s and 40s now, though. So... point taken.

Exactly. I kept typing in "Dave Matthews" because that was the only obvious choice for that question, seeing as I was one of those college girls in the 90s.

Haha.. that would be a good substitution. God, I hate Dave Matthews.

and I added the "in the 90s" part of the comment to make it more specific, after Utahn piped in above.

Additionally, aren't Dave Matthews fans more likely to be stoned while Jimmy Buffet fans are more likely to be drunk? I'm sure there's some of both going on at both concerts... but my image of a Matthews concert is basically a kegger at a frat house mixed with a block party in some mostly "White" neighborhood of Miami Beach.

I'm not sure why some of these people count as "celebrities"... most notably the JC Flowers guy. If he is a celebrity then Richard Branson should be a celebrity, and he would be #2 on this list. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are pretty much celebrities, as well. They're at least much more famous and popular than Aaron Spelling's wife and the British woman who sells sex toys. And #1 on this list, yeah I guess she acted in a couple of movies, but she's not famous for it and she didn't get rich from doing it, either. Oh well. Not my list.

What about Julia Louise-Dreyfus? She's a billionaire

From what I could find... Julia's net worth is $200 million. Her father's is $3.4 billion. Perhaps when he dies and she gets her inheritance... ?

Updated! Seems like CelebrityNetWorth modified the list some. They removed all of the deceased people from the list so now everyone on here is still alive. They also took off JC Flowers, which I think was a good call, but I still say that Richard Branson is a much bigger celebrity than Dina Merrill or Jacqueline Gold.

I would favor public flogging, but, I could get on board with this proposal, too.
