The World's Most Powerful Couples In 2012
13 Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
Hollywood's it couple announced they would finally tie the knot in 2012, after seven years together and six kids. It will be a powerful union: Together they earned $45 million last year.Who says women can’t have it all? On the 2012 FORBES list of the world’s 100 most powerful women, 70% are married, with an average 2.1 kids. Often, these women don’t do it alone. Some have the help of extended family or a stay-at-home husband. Others marry their power equals and scramble to make it work. Here’s a look at the world’s most powerful couples, and what it takes to house two top careers under one roof.
Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and current U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton together form the world’s top power pair. Hillary, the second most powerful woman in the world, made history as one of a handful of women to ever run for U.S. president. In her current role, she is the nation’s chief foreign advisor and is constantly on the go, traveling to over 40 countries in 2012 alone. Meanwhile, Bill served two presidential terms as ruler of the world’s largest economy and remains an active diplomat today.
“Successful couples make lots of different arrangements; it’s not scientific,” says Rosabeth Moss Kanter, a Harvard Business School professor and author of business innovation book SuperCorp. “With a power couple like the Clintons, it was a trade off. She went to Arkansas for him to be governor. He moved to New York with her partly so she could run for Senate.”
In the case of power couple Bill and Melinda Gates, they met on the job. Fresh out of college, she was a new hire at his tech company, Microsoft. They married seven years later, and now are among the world’s richest—and most generous—people. Melinda, the original driving force behind their giving, serves as chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has made more than $25 billion in grant commitments to poverty eradication, public health and education. Bill has served as the chairman of Microsoft since 1981, and they have three kids.
How do they juggle their demanding schedules? “We set out what’s going to be our work time versus our foundation time versus family time, and we’ll reassess that…sometimes every week,” Melinda has said. “[It’s] very much a collaborative effort. We come at it from slightly different angles, but that’s why it’s natural for us to do it together.”
Several of the world’s most dynamic duos independently rose to power and then joined forces. Actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt led separate lives and marriages before they became a pair in 2005. Seven years and six kids later, they are finally planning to tie the knot. It will be a powerful union: Together they earned $45 million last year.
Similarly, performers Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z raked in their own fame and fortunes in the music industry before marrying in 2008. Together, they are music’s most influential couple, with almost 30 Grammy awards between them. In January, they had their first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Only five months later, Knowles left Blue Ivy with Jay-Z and hit the stage for a sold-out, four-night performance she dubbed “Back to Business.”
“I’m watching the next generation,” says Moss Kanter, “and the men are really involved with the children–even the men with significant careers. They work it out.”
Among the other most notable twosomes are U.S. royals Barack and Michelle Obama; mixed-media stars Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols; television comediennes Portia and Ellen DeGeneres; and business tycoons Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg.

Final Jubilee present as Queen jumps 20 places in Forbes Most Powerful Women list (but Kate doesn't feature in top 100)
By Helen Lawson|
The Queen was today announced as one of the most influential women in the world as the impact of the Diamond Jubilee sent her soaring 20 places up the annual Forbes most powerful women list.
The monarch has risen to 26th in the magazine's annual list after a year where she celebrated 60 years on the throne, dazzled viewers with her appearance along side Daniel Craig's James Bond as she opened the Olympics, and also made the historic gesture of shaking hands with former IRA commander Martin McGuinness on a trip to Ireland.
At 86, the Queen is the oldest woman on a list that represents leading figures in politics, technology, entertainment and philanthropy, but there is no sign of the Duchess of Cambridge, a year after her wedding to Prince William.

For the second year running, German Chancellor Angela Merkel tops the list, cited as the 'lead player in the eurozone economic crisis' and praised for embracing social media by answering citizens' questions on YouTube.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff hold their second and third places respectively.

The women on the list were ranked according to influence, the amount of money they control or earn, and media presence.
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.'

Also in the top five were Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and wife of Microsoft Corp co-founder Bill Gates, and Jill Abramson, the first woman executive editor of the New York Times.
Sonia Gandhi, president of the Indian National Congress, rises one place to number six in the list since last year, while U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama moves up from eight to seventh.
The list featured newcomers such as actress and performer Jennifer Lopez and the widow Apple founder Steve Jobs, Laurene Powell Jobs, a billionaire philanthropist.
Burmese pro-democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi rises from 26 to 19 in the 2012 Forbes rankings.
Leading figures from the media include Oprah Winfrey at 11, Diane Sawyer at 23, and British-born U.S. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at 51.

Forbes said: 'So many of these women are in policy or political roles, and their influence ... is only growing so it's not surprising that someone like Merkel or Clinton would continue to be present on the list year to year.'
