14. Ariana Grande – Age 22
For such a young woman, Ariana Grande has truly taken the world by storm. She began her career in the Broadway musical 13 before landing a starring role in the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious. It’s these early roles that happened to highlight her vocal skills, and before we knew it, she was releasing her debut studio album, Yours Truly, at number one on the US Billboard 200. It wasn’t long before critics began comparing her wide vocal range to that of superstar Mariah Carey, and soon enough, she was releasing back-to-back fan favorite hits. But, she hasn’t made her success all about her. She’s using her power for good, and has supported countless charities over the years, including PETA, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Stand Up to Cancer and the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, just to name a few.
