What do Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Michelle Obama have in common?
The Forbes list for the World's 100 Most Powerful Women was released today, and it contains some pretty heavy hitters.
Considered the annual benchmark for the females influencing and creating change over the last 12 months, the Forbes list doesn't lie.
This year's rankings are no different, and although German Chancellor Angela Merkel topped the list for the fifth time in a row, there are some other names in there that we reckon could knock her off the number one spot next time around.
Aged just 25, Taylor Swift is the youngest woman to be included, and while she has a long way to climb, she is doing well for her first entrance in 64th place.
The singer is estimated to have a net worth of around €75 million, and her award-winning album 1989 had the biggest first-week sales of any record in a whopping 12 years.
As well as that, she still has time to chill with her BFFs… and document it all for us on social media.
Further up the list is fellow singer Beyoncé at number 21, this year's highest-ranking entertainer.
Given that Bey and her husband Jay-Z managed to generate an incredible €85 million from just 19 US shows on their On The Run tour last year, we reckon Beyoncé is a pretty powerful female alright.
US Vogue editor Anna Wintour also made it into the top 50, ranking at number 28 this year.
The famously ruthless magazine queen joins other fashion heavyweights Diane Von Furstenberg (75th place) and Miuccia Prada (79th place) on the 2015 list.
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara might seem like an unusual inclusion at 57th place, but considering that she is currently the highest paid woman in television, we can see why she deserves a nod.
Sofia reportedly takes home €300K per 25-minute episode of the show, and that's not counting her film roles and endorsement deals.
Coming in just behind Angela Merkel in second and third place this year are US Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, along with philanthropist Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Other big names to make the list include Oprah Winfrey (12th place), Ellen DeGeneres (50th place), Angelina Jolie (54th place) and Shakira (81st place).
That is quite a group of women!
