Michelle Obama only ranks seventh on Forbes Most Powerful list
Despite her hubby running the biggest economy in the world, Michelle Obama only ranks seventh on this year’s Most Powerful Women’s list.
The First Lady, who is arguably more popular than her President husband, creeps up from eighth place last year but is still outdone by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who ranks second on Forbes’ list of 100, and Melinda Gates who commands fourth position.
Clinton, 64, was beaten only by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who tops the esteemed ranking for the second year running.
Moira Forbes, president and publisher of ForbesWoman, said: ‘These power women exert influence in very different ways and to very different ends, and all with very different impacts on the global community.’
