Beyonce was nominated by Forbes to the list of ‘Most Powerful Women in the World 2023’, surprising fans
In the first few months of 2023, the ranking of the world’s most powerful women became smaller. Between January and April, it was reported that three prominent politicians, Nicola Sturgeon, Jacinda Ardern, and Sanna Marin, had either lost or resigned from their roles as prime ministers of Finland, New Zealand, and Scotland. Prior to her resignation, Susan Wojcicki led YouTube for nine years. Martina Merz, CEO of Thyssenkrupp, a German company, concurred. Instead of every single one of them, a male took their place.
Remarking to Forbes in March, Hillary Rodham Clinton said, “You’re not always going to be followed by a woman just because a woman has been in the position.” “There is still more work to be done to enable women to assume leadership positions.”
The notion of female empowerment became more intense as summer approached. In May, Robyn Grew, a $161 billion hedge fund whose name mirrors the gender composition of its clientele, was named the first female CEO of the Man Group. In June, US Army veteran Debra Crew became CEO of the massive alcohol company Diageo, making her one of the few female CEOs of the top 100 LSE companies. Of course, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Barbie inspired billions of dollars in consumer spending. Jerome Powell, the president of the Federal Reserve, spoke about how it affected consumers during a press conference in July.
Because of her influence, Barbie is one of the three women who will be ranked among the 100 most influential women in the world in 2023. Swift’s achievement at No. 5 is her greatest placement to date. After making her No. 79 debut in 2022, Beyoncé rose from No. 80 to No. 36. Grew begins at position 83. Barbie is ranked 100th, a position that is awarded every year to an individual who does not conform to the conventional notion of power but who has still managed to define a year.
The four main criteria that were employed to determine the 2023 Power List were, as usual, domains of influence, money, media, and effect. While revenue, valuations, and staff numbers were essential to corporate executives, gross domestic products and population data were vital to political leaders. We looked at everyone’s media mentions and social reach. Thus, 100 women are having an impact on the policies, products, and political controversies that shape our society.
These struggles include the defense of women’s reproductive autonomy in conflict areas like Gaza and Ukraine; girls’ access to personal freedom and education in Iran and Afghanistan; women’s reproductive autonomy in the United States; and successful climate policy that protects women’s health and well-being in lower-income and agriculture-based economies.
Philanthropist Melinda French Gates, a millionaire, told Forbes that “we’re not far enough there anywhere in the world yet.” She thus makes a simple proposal for 2024 and beyond. “Things start to change when you push women far enough into positions of power across the globe.”
Beyonce
The diva made an instant phenomenon out of her “Renaissance” tour, which she started this summer. By selling 2.7 million tickets, she earned around $600 million from 56 appearances, according to Pollstar. In addition, she worked with the luxury clothing brand Balmain to create a fashion line and movie based on Renaissance. Beyoncé’s Comeback: On December 1st, a movie debuted domestically and made $21 million its first weekend, the most ever for an early December release of a motion film in the previous 20 years. This is by no means an unexpected feat. After all, Queen Bey declared herself to be exceptional.
