According to Forbes, these women are “rewriting the rules of business, finance and politics” and now their work is especially essential.

Forbes magazine released a file Ready annually among the 100 most influential and powerful women in the world in 2021. In this edition, writer Mackenzie Scott, ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, heads the “ranking.”

Scott is the third richest woman in the world, but according to the American magazine, she was chosen as the most powerful woman because of her “determination” to donate money “in a purposeful and revolutionary way.”

For the first time since 2011 there German Chancellor Angela Merkel appears in first place. In fact, Merkel is no longer on the list.

The second place is occupied by the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, who has changed positions on the list with the President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde. In fourth place came Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, followed by Melinda Gates, businesswoman and ex-wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

“All these women are the list’s driving thesis: it is not enough to have money or a position of power,” the media says. Thus, in order for a person to be part of the “arrangement,” he must do something important “with his wealth, voice, or public platform.”

According to Forbes, these women are “rewriting the rules of business, finance and politics” and now their work is especially essential.
