Forbes magazine has drawn up a list of the world’s 100 most powerful women, spanning political leaders, businesswomen, celebrities, and entertainers.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the ranking, followed by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and in third place, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
Eight heads of state and 29 CEOs made Forbes' roster of the 100 most powerful women released on Wednesday. They have an average age of 54 and collectively control US$30 trillion. Twenty two are single.
Rounding out the top five were the CEO of PepsiCo US Indra Nooyi, who oversees the US$60 billion food and beverage empire, and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg.
Forbes said women on the list achieved power not only through money and might, but, thanks to social media, through reach and influence.
Lady Gaga and The New York Times' recently appointed executive editor, Jill Abramson, came in at No. 11 and 12. Gaga was also the youngest member of the list at age 25.
