This post was part of AOL Money & Finance's Best & Worst of 2007. Voting has now closed and readers have chosen Martha Stewart as the most annoying money personality of the year. Let us know in the comments if you are pleased with this result.

In last year's Best & Worst in Money awards, Donald Trump was the easy victor in the Most Annoying Money Expert category, securing 44% of the votes, more than twice as much as Suze Orman, Jim Cramer, or Mark Cuban. Trump won by such a landslide that this year we decided to take him out of the running, giving some new personalities a shot at the prize.

So, let's take a look at the contestants for this year's Donald Trump Honorary Most Annoying Money Personality contest:

Maria Bartiromo, CNBC's famed "Money Honey," isn't looking so sweet and spunky these days. She now seems a touch vampish as the apparent centerpiece in a Citigroup scandal that led to the ouster of exec Todd Thomson. Thomson might have earned the CEO spot recently vacated by Chuck Prince if he hadn't offered Bartiromo a spot on a Citi jet to fly to Asia to speak to customers.

Maria's journalistic ethics were called into question for accepting the junket, but CNBC, which nets plenty of advertising from Citi, glossed over the scandal. Criticism of Maria, however, helped raise the profile of CNBC's new sweetheart, Erin Burnett. In September, AOL's Money Face-Off found them virtually neck-and-neck among voters.

Robert Kiyosaki: The bloom is largely off the rose for old Robert Kiyosaki, a hero to self-publishers the world over. The evidence seems to be pretty clear that the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad basically made up the Rich Dad character in his books. But what's really annoying about this serial offender of good writing is how often he retreads the same tired old themes with new books.

Worse, his own brand of home-spun "wisdom" violates most other experts' basic advice about accumulating wealth. Really, is buying laundromats or rental apartments the key to getting rich these days? How many busted subprime mortgages were taken out by would-be entrepreneurs who started with a copy of one of Kiyosaki's books?

Mark Cuban: It's hard to believe a sports franchise owner could be more annoying than George Steinbrenner in his prime. But billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner and Internet entrepreneur Cuban's goofy trademark team jersey, endless referee baiting, and post-playoff loss pouting has already become a worn-out act.

Truth is, his off-court ventures haven't been doing much better than his sports teams. From the high definition satellite network HDNet, to the dubious-sounding financial site Sharesleuth.com (which hasn't had a new post since June), to his stint on Dancing with the Stars, to his "Swash" high-tech toilet, Cuban continues to annoy -- thanks to help from profits from his 1999 sale of Broadcast.com to Yahoo! A recent low? He earned a spot on site Hygenie's top 10 Dirty Businessmen for apparently picking his nose (or perhaps pretending to engage in another nose-related bad habit) in public.

Martha Stewart: The Domestic Diva is making decent good progress on the comeback trail following her 2004 insider-trading conviction and prison stint. But she still has far to go. In September, AOL matched her up against Oprah Winfrey in a Money Face-Off and Martha netted only 27% of the votes.

Most recently, Stewart earned a smattering of unfavorable press for trying to trademark new products with the name Katonah, the cute and quaint Westchester village where she lives. In an unusual settlement, she was allowed to trademark the name for furniture, but not other products.

Still, while Stewart's homemaking skills are starting to return to the forefront, the stock of the company she founded is on the decline in 2007. Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (NYSE: MSO) is down to $10 a share from more than $22 in January.
