The Judas hitmaker has spoken out after passing Oprah Winfrey to top Forbes' Celebrity 100 list.
In an interview with US entertainment show Extra, she said: 'That's very nice, only Oprah is infinitely more important and influential than me. I am just grateful to have even ever met her, really.'
The 25-year-old added: 'What matters most to me is how the fans feel about the work that I'm doing and the music. But it's always really nice to get compliments like that. I really appreciate it.'
Forbes reports that Gaga, real name Stefani Germanotta, grossed $170 million this past year.
