Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are used to setting the record straight--but now they're holding the record!

The Guinness World Records has named Angelina and Brad the "Most Powerful Actor and Actress in Hollywood" taking the titles from Tom Cruise and Jennifer Aniston.

But the list doesn't stop there! Samuel L. Jackson holds the record as the "Highest Grossing Actor" with a total gross of $7.42 billion over his movie-making career.

And Miley Cyrus can thank her Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour for gaining her the tour title of having the "Highest Grossing Movie of a Music Tour." The tour earned $53.4 million in just two weeks!

And no celebrity list would be complete without Oprah Winfrey. Guinness says Oprah has the "Highest Annual Earnings by a TV Talk Show Host," with $225 million!
