In Popular Culture
The popularity of Forbes magazine has extended to mainstream and Hip-Hop culture. 50 Cent has released the official remix to his hit single, "I Get Money", off his September 11, 2008 album, Curtis, titled "Forbes 1,2,3" (also known as the "Billion Dollar Remix"). The title of the song comes from the fact that Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Diddy were listed as Forbes' Top 3 money-making Kings of Hip-Hop, respectively. The unfinished video for "Forbes 1,2,3" can be seen as the intro to 50 Cent's single, "I Still Kill" featuring Akon, off the multi-platinum album Curtis, and in the song "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars, the latter mentioning "the cover of Forbes magazine, smilin' next to Oprah and the Queen."

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“You seem to think that I am adapted to nothing but the sugar-plums of intellect and had better not try to digest anything stronger.... a writer of popular sketches in magazines; a lecturer before Lyceums and College societies; a dabbler in metaphysics, poetry, and art, than which I would rather die, for if it has come to that, alas! verily, as you say, mediocrity has fallen on the name of Adams.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“There is something terribly wrong with a culture inebriated by noise and gregariousness.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
