Most Powerful Women by Forbes

Forbes Magazine has published the 2008 list of "100 Most Powerful Women in the World."

According to the Forbes article, the women on this prestigious list do not have to be rich, but they do have to wield influence. In total, the women ranked on this list control $26 trillion worldwide.

The Influence is measured by Forbes as a composite of public profile — calculated using press mentions — and financial heft. The economic component of the ranking considers job title and past career accomplishments, as well as the amount of money a woman controls. Basing on these factors, German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the list for the third year in a row.
