Our annual snapshot of the 100 women with the most impact are top politicians and CEOs, activist billionaires and celebrities who matter. In roughly equal measure you’ll find next gen entrepreneurs and media mavens, technologists and leaders in philanthropy — all ranked by dollars, media momentum and impact.
We’ve selected women that go beyond the traditional taxonomy of the power elite (political and economic might). These change-agents are actually shifting our very idea of clout and authority and, in the process, transforming the world in fresh and exhilarating ways.
On this list are politicians, entrepreneurs, business women, entertainers, and activists. Easily a list of the most impressive women on the planet.
Here are the first five:
The entire list can be found here.
Many prominent Democrats and Obama administration members are on this list such as Janet Napolitano, Nancy Pelosi, and Kathleen Sebelius, While the number of prominent conservatives is not so well represented. (Though Greta Van Sustern DOES show up as number 97.)
And as you may have gleaned from my title there is NO mention of a certain disgraced former politician and Fox News contributor, even though she once held a fairly prominent spot on that very same list.
Nice to see that the most powerful and influential women on this planet are far more visionary, and progressive than some of those listed in times past.
Is is also nice to see that Hillary and Michelle are listed in the top five, since I think that indicates good things for America moving forward.
Tweet from the Twit or a FB post coming shortly.
ReplyDeleteAfter she TOTALLY dissed Time's 100 Most Influential, and said she oughtta know because "Know who was on it? Yours Truly.," perhaps she should keep that trap SHUT?
DeleteWe should be so lucky....
Clean upon on aisles 1,2,4,6&7 at C4P ....
ReplyDeleteHeads be exploding
Shakira? Gisele Bundchen? Questionable.
ReplyDeleteThe one common denominator for most of these women, is CLASS. Therefore, there is no need to speculate why the Bitch is not on the list.
ReplyDeleteVery good judgment by the selection committee. Finally, the Wasilla witch is not on the list! Ha! She can't come anywhere near the first 5! Time to close the curtain on her.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable that Sarah Palin was ever on this list.
ReplyDeleteRight, especially when factoring in what amazing woman ARE overlooked from this list.
DeleteShe was a charity pick once. Now they replaced her with old crooked mouth from Fox.
Delete"And as you may have gleaned from my title there is NO mention of a certain disgraced former politician and Fox News contributor..."
ReplyDeleteCartoon figures, wives of pimps, ex half-governors with body odor, total laughingstocks, etc. tend not to be considered for lists such as this one.
Something just occurred to me:
ReplyDeleteHillary/Michelle in 2016 -:)
In reality: Hillary/Elizabeth in 2016 YES!
With Bill and Barack appointed to the Supreme Court - OH YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
DeleteHey, I'll go for that!! *thumbs up*
DeleteHowever, she could headline the Buffoon list.
ReplyDeleteSarah = Buffoon = AssClown = Yesterday's News
DeleteSarah can always talk about what she WOULD do or would have done. But what did she really get done when she had the opportunity? Um, not so much. Her legacy (other than the pending scandals that will incinerate her waning popularity) will be one of wasted potential that she was notoriously too lazy, too dumb, and too selfish to realize. She's not really a has-been, because she's a never-was.
Only a tiny niche have one iota of respect for the Grifter, and they are not people I'd trust to ask if it were raining, and expect a knowledgable answer.
You're kidding me, right??!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Gulp swillin', Skoal packin', moose shootin', rootin' tootin' Granny from Wasilla WAS NOT on the list?
Oh, that's just precious! The bigots over at c4p must be having a splendid hissy-fit. Have they called for a ban of "all things Forbes" yet? I'm surprised they rallied behind Jake Tapper given his numerous criticisms of Granny Sarah over the years. Then again, they never think for themselves. They await tweets from "teh guv" before forming opinions on anything. #assclowns
And wasn't it IDIOT Sarah who was calling them a loser?
ReplyDeleteGreen Energy Win: Tesla Repaid a $465 Million Federal Loan 9 Years Early
Republicans are threatening another “hearing”, this one against green energy aid. You see, Republicans are very concerned about how Obama is ruining the free market by picking “winners and losers”. You remember that phrase from the campaign, I’m sure. Mitt Romney got his smug on over electric vehicle maker Tesla (TSLA) during a debate, calling them “losers.”
Romney, who fancies himself a businessman but does not actually build and operate a successful business, but instead swoops in after others have done the hard work and dismantles them for profit, was wrong about Tesla.
Tesla just paid off their $465 million federal loan nine years early, in full.
How’s that for being a “loser”?
Tesla’s loan was part of the much-maligned green energy push. Republicans can’t stand green energy, ostensibly because it’s ruining the “free market”, but in reality because it seeks to cut into Big Oil’s profits.

Thanks anon 8:35! I needed some good news.
DeleteHuge Majority Of GOP Supports Background Checks
ReplyDeleteA whopping 81 percent of Republicans favor background checks for private gun sales, according to a Pew Research poll released Thursday.
But just 57 percent of Republicans said they wanted a background checks bill to pass.
“Many of those who have reservations about the bill express concerns that it includes other restrictions beyond background checks, or that it opens a ‘slippery slope’ toward more government power,” the survey concluded.
Overall, 81 percent of Americans support broader background checks, the survey said. The partisan differences were minimal: 83 percent of Democrats and 80 percent of independents.

fuck that!
ReplyDeleteBundchen? Beyonce? Lady Gaga?? Shakira??
Women in medicine were overlooked it seems. How about the doctor at my hospital who discovered a gene responsible for childhood neuroblastoma and developed the drug to inhibit this gene and is CURING a heretofore incurable form of this disease.
What a crock of shit.
People actually think Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Shakira and Bundchen beat that???
Yes? Did you BOTHER to look at the methodology? Even YOU don't name who the Doc was. While there is no doubt that the doc's finding was beneficial and/or brilliant, the size of the effect isn't. The # of children with neuroblastoma isn't that big, while it is devastating to the families, most people are only vaguely aware of it. And linking this particular discovery to cures that affect THEM? C'mon, most folks don't know who Salk is.
DeleteOn he other hand, you can't go a day likely without being aware of what BEyonce or her aught er are wearing, thinking or singing. Ditto for Gaga, who HAS done a LOT for the LGBT community.
Oh = so curing an incurable disease that only 400 kids a year get is not as important as what beyonce is thinking singing or wearing?? Are you for fucking real??
DeleteThe gene discovery WILL lead to curing OTHER cancers which rely on the same gene to "turn on". It is a huge discovery. And, no I'll not give away the institution, or MD name as it is too easy to figure out from my postings on all anti palin blogs who I am.
I really hope your reply was snark.
Anonymous @1:55 -
DeleteAnd when this gene discovery does cure other cancers and your doctor has more of a worldwide presence, then she will most likely be included on the list of the most powerful women that year. But this year, whether you like it or not, yes, Beyonce has more influence around the world than your doctor. Really, @11:15 was not being rude, just pointing out the realities.
(Bristol), Hey mommy, I thought that you said I would be on this list because I'm soooo purrtty. Did you lie to me too, you Bitch?
ReplyDeleteOh by the way Granny Moose Shit, the Obamas were also voted the most powerful couple in the world. Not bad for some Kenyans, huh Bitch.
ReplyDeleteYou mean "Marxist Kenyan." We must not feed the troll! LOL!
DeleteSarah's fans seem to think that if she posts something, its value is measured by how many people click the "like" button. We know how that works, because we heard the bragging about how they gamed the voting when Bristol danced with the stars. (Bristol can't dance, yet she remained on the show week after week.) I'm sure that the Kardashians have lots and lots of followers, along with Justin, Paris, Lindsay, and the latest flavor of the month. Sarah's PAC pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to consultants. They certainly are not briefing her on world affairs. They are not writing good speeches for her. They aren't even getting her a schedule full of appearances. So, they must be the trolls and bloggers who fill the internet with such mature phrases as "You need to get a life," "I stand with Sarah," and "Viva, Sarah." (I don't think that Sarah speaks Spanish).
ReplyDeleteThe limits of $carah's Spanish are likely Taco Bell menu items.
DeleteI still think it's funnier than HELL that the c4p mods contacted Disqus to try to get rid of their much-despised down arrows and were to told to buzz off!
Delete10:06 What has your comment got to do w/the top 100 women in the world..absolutely zero!

Another punch in the throat for Lou Sarah. She just can't seem to get any good news lately.
ReplyDeleteThese are women that WORK hard and are wonderful roll models for others across the world. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing that Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton were in the top five. Both are outstanding women - smart - well educated - positive in attitudes - and wonderful wives and mothers - and Democrates.
YES!
DeleteI love the pictures you chose for Michelle and Hillary. They look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNot being mean, really I'm not, but I hate Michelle's bangs. Not a fan of them. She has better looks.
DeleteSarah Paylin is like Jesus, Virgin Mary, and Madonna all rolled into one super duper lady of class and sass. She doesn't need any fancy pants magazine to tell me that she is the smartest and special person that she is. Gotta run. Need to write another check for her Pac, check her FB posts, and then change my DEPENDS.
ReplyDeleteSeaForPeePonder
Not to fret C4P. The 2013 issue of Pimps and Ho(s) is coming out pretty soon, and I'm sure the Palins will head up that list. First prize will be a three way with Jan Brewer.
ReplyDeletesecond prize...2 three ways with Jan Brewer.
DeleteWwhhhaaaattttt !!! No Falsies - I mean Belmont Girls - I mean $arah Payme on Forbes' list?
ReplyDeleteHey Ol' $carah, you can start your own top 100 list:
Top 100 Women who have stuffed a pillow up their shirt and pretended to be pregnant.
Top 100 Women who have had their water break, yet still caught two consecutive aeroplane rides after that leakage.
Top 100 Women who have had their tubes tied and sizzled, yet still managed to "give birth".
Top 100 Women who are 1/2 term governors and married to a pimp.
Hey Ol' $carah - you are #1 on all four of these lists !!!!
And they say that you always come in second or even third at everyting in your life !!! Pshaw - what do they know !!
Oh, and did you know that you are also #1 out of the Top 100 Women whose body odour even beats the smell from a pig's barn?
WHOOEEE - that has to be some pass-out-rank body odour coming from you!!!
Ah well, y'know a list is whatever we peruse it to be because well, as you all know I'm all for the freedom that persists in this wonderful country of ours, the freedom from lists of all nature and to be sure it is only a rank amateur in the political symposium to be at all concerned about lists because when our forefathers encroached upon these very shores there was nothing here, nothing and you don't think they were worried about who's on it or whatnot, no sirree they got busy and rolled up their sleeves and if it weren't for Paul Revere and the other freedom fighters like Andrew Jackson and John Wayne Gacy and the others, all of 'em any of 'em they had to profile themselves so that they could give back instead of all of the time taking and taking. So who cares about a silly list? Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
ReplyDeleteGreta made the list and Sarah didn't? Bwahhhaaaa!
ReplyDeleteDoes Forbes have the one hundred weakest women list? What's an unemployed pimp's wife to do?
Hilary? Ugly on the inside and outside. ANd Michelle Antoinette? HA!
