#TodayInPhilippineHistory July 29, 2005, Forbes Magazine listed President Gloria Arroyo as the fourth Most Powerful Woman in the world, with United States Secretary Condoleezza Rice topping the list and beating out presidents, celebrities and businesswomen. Also in the list were: Chinese Communist Party leader Wu Yi (#2) Newcomer Ukraine Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko (#3) eBay chief executive Margaret Whitman (#5) Citigroup Chief financial officer Sallie Krawcheck (#7) TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey (#9) Melinda Gates, the wife of Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates (#10) Imprisoned Myanmar leader Aung Sang Suu Kyi (#15) U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (#26) British author JK Rowling (#40) U.S. First Lady Laura Bush (#46) The Forbes rankings are based on a composite of visibility (measured by press citations) and economic impact. The latter, in turn, reflects three things: résumé (a prime minister is more powerful than a senator); the size of the economic sphere over which a leader holds sway; and a multiplier that aims to make different economic yardsticks comparable.
