Posted by J.R. Taylor at 11:59 AM
First Lady Michelle Obama took the number one spot.
According to Forbes, this year’s index was based more on creative influence and entrepreneurship, leading to the inclusion of Beyonce and Gaga.
Moira Forbes, vice-president and publisher of ForbesWoman, insists the people featured in the top 100 had affected billions of people.
She said: “The women on our list, through their respective realms of power and influence, are shaping many of the agenda setting conversations of our day. They have built companies and brands, sometimes by non-traditional means, and they have broken through gender barriers in areas of commerce, politics, sports and media and cultural zeitgeist, and thereby affecting the lives of millions, sometimes billions of people.”
Other entertainers on the list include talk show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, who came third and tenth respectively.
