Forbes' Power Lists

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.

LADY Gaga is officially more powerful than THE QUEEN, a new survey reveals.

The Born This Way singer clinched a higher place than the British monarch in business bible Forbes magazine’s annual survey of the world’s most powerful women.
Gaga – real name Stefani Germanotta – made it into the 100-strong list at 14, ahead of Elizabeth II who only made it to number 26.
Aged 26, Gaga is the youngest woman on the list, while the Queen is the oldest at 86.
The only other Brit to feature in the annual rundown is Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling, 47,who ranked 78th.

Crazy In Love singer Beyonce also made the cut in The World's 100 Most Powerful Women – featuring at 32 - six places ahead of Jennifer Lopez.

Super star ... Beyonce

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, 37, came in at 37 while singer Shakira was fortieth.

 A-lister ... Angelina Jolie

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are the world’s most powerful women, coming in first and second place.
The list covers women in politics, business, media, entertainment and non-profit organisations.
Their rankings are determined by calculating wealth, media presence and overall impact.
It is not the first time Lady Gaga has cemented her power – the pop star is also the queen of Twitter with the most followers on the social media site.
She has over 28.6MILLION followers — closely followed by Justin Bieber with nearly 27m followers, Katy Perry on over 25m.

Final Jubilee present as Queen jumps 20 places in Forbes Most Powerful Women list (but Kate doesn't feature in top 100)

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.

There's no place on the Forbes annual list of the world's most powerful women for the Duchess of Cambridge - yet - but the Queen soars up the list to 26th place

Instead, Kate, 29, is tipped by the magazine as a woman to watch over the coming year as she embarks on her charity work.
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.

Clinton is planning to bow out of public life after the upcoming American elections in November, despite praise for her handling of the WikiLeaks diplomatic cables crisis, while Rousseff is enjoying approval rates of 77 per cent among Brazilians ahead of running for another term in 2014.
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.'

Beyonce Knowles came in at 32nd after a year where she promoted her album 4, had her first child and supported Obama's 'Get Moving' campaign

The average age of the 100 power brokers from 28 countries is 55. They have a combined 90 million Twitter followers.
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.'

Angelina Jolie Ranks As The Most Powerful Actress





Angelina Jolie

Profile 

Even when she's not starring in a big studio flick, Jolie still earns millions from residuals and endorsement deals for companies like Louis Vuitton. Jolie also attracts plenty of attention wherever she goes. The tabloid-friendly actress appeared on 78 magazine covers between May 2011 and May 2012. It didn't hurt her press popularity that long-time life partner Brad Pitt proposed. The couple are parents to six children.

Earnings  $20 M As of May 2012

Celebrity 100

Membership in the Celebrity 100 is based on a mixture of earnings and fame. While Angelina Jolie didn’t have tons of the former over the past 12 months (we estimate she earned $20 million) she got tons of the latter: The movie star appeared on 64 magazine covers and she ranks third out of all of the celebrities on our list for blog hits.

Jolie got more attention for her engagement to longtime partner Brad Pitt than for her directing debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which the actress also wrote but did not star in. The movie, about the Bosnian war, earned less than $1 million at the box office but established Jolie as a serious artist. She also earns from her endorsement deal with Louis Vuitton. Jolie ranks 13th overall on our Celebrity 100 list.

Jolie’s rival (if the tabloids are to be believed) Jennifer Aniston is the second most-powerful actress on our list, ranking 22nd with an estimated $11 million in earnings between May 2011 and May 2012. Aniston starred in three movies during out time frame. The highest-earning was Just Go With It, an Adam Sandler vehicle in which Aniston played her typical good girl.
But the actress got to show a different side of herself with the movie Horrible Bosses, in which she played a sexually aggressive dentist. The film, which was made for only $35 million, grossed $210 million at the global box office. The former Friend also got plenty of attention this year for her budding relationship with actor Justin Theroux. She appeared on 78 magazine covers.

Rounding our our top three is Kristen Stewart. The young actress earned more than any of her peers over the past 12 months: $34.5 million. Most of that money came from Twilight: Breaking Dawn. The second part of the film hits theaters in November. The Twilight series so far has grossed $2.5 billion at the global box office. With the series ending, the three stars will have to find new paths for their careers.

Stewart is one up on her male co-stars in that department. She earned more than Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner over the last 12 months thanks to Snow White and the Huntsman. The film, which hits theaters in June, looks like it might be one of the biggest movies of the summer.

Angelina Jolie is renowned as an Academy Award winning actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador. The mother of six has had a busy year. On the money front, she raked in $30 million from film projects, including "Kung Fu Panda II." She shot her writer-director debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," near Sarajevo. As a fierce advocate for refugee rights, she visited refugee camps in Turkey to meet Syrians who had escaped the violent military crackdown, as well as those seeking asylum in Malta after fleeing the Arab uprising. The two-time Davos speaker regularly opens her wallet through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which has donated over $17 million to work around the world. Next up for Jolie: playing the evil witch in Disney's "Maleficent" and the David Fincher-directed "Cleopatra."
