The stars mass (once it becomes a star) is inversely proportional to its lifetime as a main sequence star. A red dwarf can survive for many billions of years; a star that has twice the mass of the Sun, such as Sirius A, will have 25% of the Suns lifetime.
One of Sir Isaac Newton's accomplishments established that the gravitational force between two bodies is proportional to their masses. All other things being equal, the planet with the strongest pull is the one with the largest mass, which is Jupiter.
