Forbes World's most Powerful women list


Forbes came out with this list of world's most powerful women but i dont side with 
I think there are more powerful women than this in the whole  world Doncha think? 
Forbes divided there search into four main groups, business, politics, media and lifestyle (also known as entertainment, fashion and sports.) They then ranked each candidate within their individual category and then compared group against group. They expressed that this process was not easy but reflects the “unpredictable, diverse mash-up of hard power (currencies and constitutions) and dynamic power (audience and audacity).”

And Lady Gaga Topped Beyonce? How? I'll Tell you how, Last year Beyoncé’s income  $80 million of the singer’s extensive business empire. 118 million records sold, seven films, 16 Grammy awards and numerous MTV Video Music Awards.

While Gaga's massive ‘Monsters Ball’ tour is predicted to rake in $200 million in revenue by April’s end in 2011. Forbes has now crowned the 24-year-old as the “new queen of pop”
